I don't remember but don't go by anyone but yourself because everyone loses at a different rate and it will only make you miserable.

Thank you for that, I struggle with a few health conditions and hope it doesn’t affect my weight loss after surgery. 😔

18 pounds, but everyone is right, it is toxic to compare yourself to others. You'll usually end up discouraged. Hang in there!

Also remember that those who lose a lot, are more likely much heavier to start. I have a lower bmi to start and "only" lost 10 pounds I think... but 10 pounds is great too. And I am now 3 1/2 months out and already reached my docs weight goal for me and am less than 25 pounds away from MY goal weight. But again... I started with a lower BMI (36 at surgery). My experience will be different then many.

You are off to a great start then! So, at some point you will slow down/stall.... but if you stick to the prescribed plan then you will overcome the slow down/stall and start making progress again. Just try not to stress over the scale too much. Even when I stall, I am shrinking somewhere.

      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!
