I'm 32 years old and my starting weight was at 380lbs in April 2017 and lost down to 317lbs on the day of surgery as of now I'm 300lbs I'm just looking for any advice that you all have that might get me through this 3rd week stall that I keep reading about thanks everyone.

Stay consist with your diet, make sure you are getting in the proper amount of Water per day. I know right now getting in fluids especially water can be a struggle but you have to. And make sure you are walking. I can not stress enough how important walking right now will be for you. Come with the knowledge that your body will stall from time to time but as long as you keep doing the things your doctor has outlined for you, that you will keep losing weight. And some weeks the loss gains will be better than other weeks.

Congratulations on your loss so far. I would say to follow the rules you were given. That is so important. Also if you have access to a nutritionist who specializes in bariatrics, that can be very helpful. I have seen mine for over 15 months and consider her to be a huge help and motivator. I would also read and start planning your phases so you move through them with ease and confidence. You are just beginning there is so much to learn and a lot of work to do. But this time you have a new powerful tool. You can do this.

      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!
