221 to 224lbs in a week.

I was quite prepared for stalls, that would not have bothered me , but 3lbs gain? I am quite offended by my Body right now.

Depressing.

( 4th of July 2017 was my surgery date)

I feel you!! I have been stalled for 3 weeks. I'm like 10 lbs away from goal but I have gained three pounds in the past two weeks and I have no clue why. I honestly want to scream. I'm going to drink a lot more Water today and trying running twice a day for the next few days. I am not giving up because I'm so closeeee!!!

You didn't gain fat. Who knows what happened? Holding fluids? Give it time; your weight only tells a tiny bit of your fitness story. Frustrating, yes, but surgery was only a month ago. Things are always shifting, Water, muscle, digestion...

Your body is in shock still, it retains fluids in the healing process. Check to see what your sodium levels are in your Protein Drinks as well. Just know that this is your body healing, not betraying you. It's doing what it can to get to the point you can really start to lose. :) You will be OK!

Are you working out? It could be muscle. Or Water. Are you eating salty? Maybe it's the scale. I weighed myself twice this morning because my scale is a little wonkey (having a bridal shower in 2 weeks and someone bought the new one off the registry). I was 189 and then literally 5 minutes later I was 185.

      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.

      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!
