I haven't checked my weight since May 4th because I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and I'm just scared to stall so I just said I'll wait til next doctor's visit

Sounds like you will have a nice number when you do weigh! I know what you mean about being afraid of stalling. I only weight once a week right now and may change it to once every two weeks or once a month if I start losing slowly. I gotta see a decent number!

You have will power. I can never wait.

I'm trying to get a monthly mindset because I feel like if I stall I'll be so down and out

I weigh every day knowing that sometimes it stays the same but it does go down slowly... I have rarely gone up and if is does it is just 0.2 of a pound or so.

Yeah that's my fear it happened in the beginning after surgery so I just stopped checking

After I was miserable because of weight stall starting my 3rd week post-op, my doctor's office & nutritionist said to only weigh myself when I came in to see them.

Given that the next visit will be in 2 months & the one after that in six months that strikes me as just a tad unrealistic but I understand the larger point which was to focus on Protein counting & amount of Water drunk and not the scale b/c it's a distraction.

I normally have a weigh in once a week, i hate it when i stall too as it makes me question everything that i'm doing even though i know its all part of the process.

      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!
