my weight loss has been on the slow side. up until last week I had lost approximately 23 pounds since march 25th.

WELL, I just had my fourth fill on Monday and as of today have lost 7 pounds (in five days)

Im not complaining about the weight loss but Im worried about it being healthy

Have you been able to eat good foods without being too tight? Are you able to drink all of your fluids for the day? Are you sure you're eating the right foods and exercising?

If so, you may have hit your sweet spot and are dropping the pounds. If you want to be safe you can always double check with your doc. If you aren't able to take in an appropriate amount of food or liquids, or are vomiting frequently then talk with your doctor.

I have beeb losing weight pretty steady the first 3 weeks post op then ddnt lose any. I had my first fill most 2 weeks ago. I went down 6 lbs the first week, now Ive gained it back. Im getting another fill on sept 1. My doc said I might have lots of restriction at first cause my stomach is getting used to the new tightness, once that wore off, my appetite it back and I gained weight....its weird!

I would think some of that may have to do with only being on liquids and mushies the first couple of days. Sometimes right after a fill, I will drop 4-5 lbs super quick and then level back out.

Make sure you are getting in your Water and you aren't dehydrated. If you are tracking/journaling your food, are you getting in your recommended Protein? Sounds like you are not eating much, 1 bite of meatball and 1 bite of Pasta. If you aren't able to get anything more down by Monday, you might want to call your doc.

You could be a tad tight from slight swelling. Some people swell a bit when they get a fill. I have not really felt like that, but I have heard that others do get some swelling after a fill and that can make you feel real tight.

I hope you are feeling better and able to get some of that Protein shake down!

      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!
