I have seen a few posts like yours, so you are not alone!

Hard to say what is up with you without a bit more detail - has it been a week, a month? Is it a brief stall and will come right? How’s your eating and exercise? Are you nearly at your goal? etc etc.

But one suggestion is to haul out your post surgery papers (or look here in the food/nutrition pages) and give yourself a refresher by repeating your post surgery eating weeks - pouch/sleeve “training” my surgeon calls it. So you will go back to liquids with Protein, then move on to purée - get that protein in and Vitamins, and 8 glasses of Water. And as you move into solids, keep a good record of what you are eating...

Keep us posted? This is a great community for advice and support!

Four months out and I haven't lost weight in three weeks. I'm not panicking as my goal was to get healthier and get off my daily regime of 10 medications. To date I'm down to only two medications and my blood sugar, BP,gout,snoring while sleeping and Gerd all got better. I'm eating better but much less and though I exercise I'm sure I could do more. Overall I'm happy with my progress.

      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!
