So today I was able to start the puree stage. I was sleeved 11/15. Basically since I was sleeve to my stomach is handling everything very well I have always eaten a little bit ahead of plan by about a week but I noticed that being 4 weeks out the weight loss has stopped and I think it's because I'm being too lenient with my eating. I haven't been logging or counting calories or anything like I'm supposed to. I have my log book out now and my journal and tomorrow I am going to start religiously writing down what I'm eating and tracking my carbs and my calories and my sugars. Is anybody else in the same boat where they feel like maybe they're not losing because they didn't stick to the plan correctly? I don't want to mess this up

Have you considered online support like MYFITNESSPAL or its smartphone/tablet APP?

It's been a big help to me.

Yes maybe no!!

I am not losing right now either, sleeved 10/24. Not consistently tracking either, but when I do track, my macros are okay - at least 60gr Protein and 64oz liquids, carbs 30-56gr average. It's a lot depressing which adds to my general seasonal depression which is not good at all. I am also bored with food in general. The scale isn't exactly stopped but one pound a week for the past three weeks is pathetic to me, and half a pound this week.

One pound a week is awesome! One pound a week is 52 pounds a year. Slow and steady wins the race. Make sure you're eating 1200 calories, and try to exercise every day...even if it's just walking, the more you run the furnace and give it good things to burn....the better it works. Good luck, everyone:)

      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!
