Maybe because your activity has slowed that might account for the weight gain. Make sure you get some exercise, how about walking? or just marching in place? I know you have to be careful with your arm. Make sure to get plent of Water in. My wt loss slows when I do not drink much water. Get your Protein, that is your priority and get your calories in as per suggested per your doctor. Not enough calories may have slowed your metabolism. It is hard to avoid the sweets but I know I did not want them around the house for quite a few months. I ate yogurt and cheese sticks and Fiber rich water and Jello. It is hard, but you can do it. I am 1 year out and have had a great loss of 110#, but now had to get an unfill do to something caught and not eating for a week! Now I have gained 8# and have no restriction and old eating habits are hard to forget. Obesity never really goes away. I will always have to be conscious of what I eat. Once your arm is healed you can step up the pace. It is a learning experience as we go along and the support along the way helps! I used the beneprotein for protein also which is reasonably priced. Protein Drinks help, egg salad, tuna salad, etc... Maybe you are too tight? Just try things and see how they go. Good Luck!

      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!
