So I had surgery July 14th, 2017 and I was 228 lbs at my heaviest and a day before surgery with the cleanse I got down to 221 the next day (surgery day)....crazy. lol

Today I am 206...I've been 205-206 for like a week now...Per my doctor, I'm on a liquid diet for a whole month so I have another 11 days...I"m dying lol...I drink as much Water and liquids as I can, get Protein in and stuff but for some reason...this stall isn't breaking. Like hellooo I'm not eating, you figured I'd be losing weight right? lol

My question is --- did this happen to you all post surgery and what did you do to break a stall and when did you start seeing the scale move down again?

I miss food. I miss being able to eat with my boyfriend and family. I see everyone talking about their weight loss and just at a loss for why my progress came to a halting stop right now.

I get everyone's bodies are different and we are all at different places in our journey I just don't know when this will change.

I've been thinking to myself --- if i'm not even losing weight on this liquid diet, how will I lose weight when I actually start eating food?

Talk to me people! lol

This is a question that gets posted about 2 to 3 times a day. So it's very common to be confused on this. But think about what just happened to your body. It's gone through a trauma. When you hit your arm, what happens? Swelling, bruising and it takes days for it to go down. Well, this time you have 80% of your stomach removed and each laproscopic incision is like a knife wound. Give yourself and your body a break. You need to give it time to heal and get better so you can start working hard at losing more.

Great way to put it. Well all need to heal.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
