Short story, my assigned plan is 4 -6 months eating what I would be allowed to eat once I'm allowed to return to solids post - op ; then a more restrictive diet for 3 -4 weeks, then the normal pre op diet then if approved surgery. I am in the first part 4 - 6 month diet. I was doing well then time stood still for some reason. I felt like one of those people on My 600 lb life talking to Dr. Now... for about 3 weeks I REALLY WAS following the plan but no movement... at all in fact the scale even ticked up a couple of pounds, I was perplexed because I knew I was not cheating. Then I was told to eliminate certain fruits and fruit serving sizes and bam, I'm moving again... woo hoo! Finally! Onward and downward (scale wise LOL)!

Glad you figured out what was holding you back! Some people are far more sensitive to sugars (even natural ones) and those carbs really mess them up.

Every time I stall, I have to cut the fruit. Its grueling, but necessary. It always solves the problem.

Exactly what my Dr. and NUT said.

I know right? who would have thought fruit could be a problem but it was. I have lost 7.7 pounds this week as of today! They moved me to berries and green apples only and that did the trick.

      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.

        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!
