as long as you're sticking closely to your plan, the weight will come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser, but I lost over 200 lbs altogether. Just make sure you're not overdoing it somewhere - if not, if you're on plan, then I wouldn't worry about it. Your rate of weight loss is what it is, depending on many factors. As long as you're sticking to your program, the weight will come off.

How many time do you work out a week ?

I do work out, but I'm not a gym rat. I end up doing some kind of cardio twice a week (usually Zumba, WERQ, Water aerobics, or a stationary bike). I also do gentle yoga a couple of times a week.

You lost 200 pounds over the year ? How much you weight now if you don’t mind me asking .

I started out at 372 lbs

I lost 57 lbs pre-op (through both my six-month supervised diet that my insurance required, and through the two-week liquid diet that my surgeon required). The rest of it took me 18 months to lose.

I got down to 138 at one point, but I've since bounced back a bit (they say a 10- to 20-pound gain is very common after you hit your low point). I seem to have stabilized in the 147-151 range - I've been here for quite awhile. I try hard to keep it under 150, though. When my weight creeps over 150, it's all hands on deck - I become a real stickler about following my program until I'm back under 150.

I am unfortunately at a stand still with exercising. So i'm re-evaluating what I eat, how often and fluids. What i think and what I've been doing are not lining up. So i'm going back to basics and introducing more Protein and less everything else. Here's hoping for us both to continue to lose

      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!
