Did your weight loss slow down and when



Recommended Posts

I am wondering if and when your weight loss began slowing down. I know it must start slowing down eventually closer to my goal weight but I am just kind of curious when everyone started to notice it getting harder to get the scale to go down. I am really enjoying the numbers right now but trying to prepare myself for the day when I get on the scale and it isn't so encouraging. Right now I am losing about a pound a day and I am super happy with that, I go back to the Dr on the 6th of January and hopefully will get the go ahead to start working out with a trainer. Right now I am limited to just walking on a treadmill and wearing some silly weights on my ankles and wrists while I walk but really wanting to start doing a bit more weight training.

I had a hernia repair and some other minor work done while they did the sleeve so I have to wait the full 6 weeks to do anything more and that is bumming me out but I will get there.....

When I hit month 4. First three months I lost in the double digits (23,19,21 pounds) but after that it was single digits with the one exception being in July when I lost 10 pounds.

      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!
