I had surgery exactly on the same day as you!! I started at 255 and now I'm at 217, possibly 216 or 215 I don't weigh in till Friday. But that's only 38 pounds and my doctor said I'm a slower loser. I think your weight loss for your starting weight is right on target. You are doing fantastic, keep up the great work!

Great loss!

I'm 3 weeks post-op and 33lbs down. I'm amazed at how fast I'm losing but my doctor is satisfied.

Wow! That's awesome progress. How do you feel?

I'm concerned about the same. I had mine the same day as you and have lost 58 pounds. I'm almost at my ideal weight and am afraid it will keep going down with only being able to eat 2-3 spoons of food.

That's awesome progress, congrats! If I have any questions, I never hesitate to ask my doctor. But quoting a previous commenter, our bodies know what we are doing! As long as we feel good and are healthy, we most likely are doing everything right and our body is taking care of itself! But again, if you're worried, just go to your doctor for reassurance. Good luck!

I started at 370 by three months I was down just over 100lbs. Everyone loses at a different pace. Keep up the good work and listen to your body. Now I'm getting close to my goal weight and things are slowing down on their own.

Yes I want to lose gradually! Developing stones & having possible gallbladder surgery plus possibility of ear disease scares the shit out of me!

Ear disease????

Just embrace it. You're gonna have loose skin no matter how fast or slow you lose. Lose it while you can.

I know I had mine a month before, but what's your current caloric intake?

It's about 800 calories. My doctor wants me to get it between 800 and 1,000, but I struggle to get in 800.

I started at 315 lbs pre op. I'm down 50 lbs. from 2/23 surgery. I looked at BMR and still struggle to get 1000 calories. I have not started much exercise yet. Sounds like you are doing great!

That is awesome progress. It sounds like you're doing great as well!! It's hard for me too get in 1000 too. And most of my calories are Protein shakes!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
