8lbs in a month



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, Its been a month almost 2 more days for it to be official. Anyway so I've lost 8lbs, and I want to be excited because it is a loss, but it seems low. I know i'm not restricted yet, and I've been on solid foods for a bout a week. I'm not having any problems with any foods, and I'm eating alot less then I did before. I've been walking for a hour a few days a week, when I can. Although my portions are smaller I'm just as hungry and have been since about 2 weeks in. Is 8lbs normal amount to lose? does this mean it may not actually work for me? Is there anyone that got fills and it just didn't work for them, I'm afraid since the weight isn't really coming off. Any advise will be greatly appriciated.

My surgery was one day before yours. I just came back from my first fill. In the 4 weeks it's been since I've seen the Dr. I've lost only TWO pounds. You have lost 8. Normal, healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. You are right on track. Keep up the good work.

1-2 lbs a week is what you can expect to lose. You're at the top end of that. Don't expect to lose faster.

I know it's frustrating -- you want to be thin NOW, but those pounds add up over time. Trust me, if you try to lose faster by getting too tight or eating too little you'll end up causing more problems.

You're doing great!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
