Is this not working?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I’m kinda starting to freak out.

I had my surgery on 2/10, 7 weeks ago.

I have not lost weight in 4 weeks. I’m down about 25 pounds since surgery but the scale isn’t budging really. I’ll go up a pound and down a pound but outside of that, nothing.

4 weeks to me is a long time for such a stall this early. I’m tracking everything I eat. Everything. Staying under 1000 calories. Could be better with Protein and Water, but making good food choices. I work out every day via cardio. I have lost inches but that’s kinda stalled too.

I’m worried this isn’t going to work for me. Like what the heck. I’m working so hard. I don’t get it. Help!

Thanks,
Jackie

My "3 week stall" lasted about 3 1/2 weeks. Be patient and follow your plan!

it's a stall. Going that long isn't common, but it's not unheard of. As long as you're following your program, you should be fine and it'll break...

I had my surgery on 2/8 and have been losing pretty slow as well. You aren't alone. This month I've only lost like 6 lbs.

Honestly, I think it's because all of the restrictive dieting I've done before. My body might be used to it. I think we just have to wait it out. There are so many positive stories about people who lost weight slow and still met their goals at the end of year one. I'm focusing on that. I figure even if I lose 5-10 lbs a month I cant still meet my goal in a year.

On a positive (not so positive) note, I went on vacation last week, and wasn't so health conscience and I didn't gain any weight either. Seems my stall works both ways.

      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.

        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!
