Hey there,

Looking for some motivation. I started my surgery at 335 and now I am at 311 so that's 24 pounds. The problem is all that weight came off my first week and half and since then I haven't lost any weight. I thought I would lose a lot this first month especially since I'm starting off really overweight. I've been pretty lucky with my stomach handling things. I've been on soft foods since week 2. Should I have stayed in liquid longer? Can someone share their story please?

As long as you are following the plan given your fine. Have a look around and use the search tool , most of us have felt the same. I am 10 weeks in and not much past 24 lbs lol so id be praising the high heavens if i was you ha just keep doin what your doing sticking to the plan getting all your liquid in, and are you sticking to the right amounts of food?

It's very common to stall at 3 weeks out. They talk about it in my program a lot. It's just your body adjusting. Hang in there and keep going. It will start coming off again if you're sticking to plan. I know it's frustrating because I went through it too.

      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.

      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!
