Hi everyone this is my first time posting here so hopefully I'm doing it correctly. I'm just over a month post op and I have not been doing well with my weight loss. I feel like I can eat more than I should and I haven't lost any weight in two weeks now. Any suggestions? I'm scared that I've done something to mess myself up and that now the surgery was pointless

Did you have vsg? How much have you lost? Many people do get stalls around 3 weeks out. I was sleeved 6/22 I've lost 25 pounds so far. None for like 8 days and 2 pounds since then.

Hi thanks for your reply! I had gastric bypass in June 22 and so far I've lost 37 pounds. I just really feel as if I'm holding more than I should be able to and unfortunately the few times I have cheated I haven't gotten dumping syndrome.

I think 37 pounds is great. I had vsg on June 22 and have lost 25 which I think is average. My doc said. Like 20-25 the first month and 10-12 after that. My husband had gastric bypass 11 years ago. I don't remember how fast he lost weight but he lost like 80 pounds the first year- you're almost at half of that! Be encouraged. Track everything you eat and stick to your plan.

      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!
