It is perfectly normal as long as you are staying hydrated and getting in the Protein required. Stalls in weight loss is normal and should not be cause for concern. Weigh yourself no more than once a week to avoid being terribly frustrating as fluctuations are very normal.

Hang in there.

How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Protein? How much Water are you drinking each day? What are you doing for exercise? Are you logging your food and drink?

It very well might be a stall. They happen and happen frequently for me, but in order to give you any advice, it would be helpful to have some more information...

According to several in another group I am in make sure your getting your protein...all of it... many of those who were having stalls stepped up their Protein and saw changes quickly.

      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.

        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!
