Need help come to far to GIVE UP!
stride for success 43 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved Nov 26, 2013. I was excited to finally get a tool to help me lose weight. My beginning wt at the time surgery was 300lbs. My present wt is 265lbs. Not alot lost n these 5 months for what I was expecting. Now I'm at the point I want to say it must just b meant for me to b a big gurl. I exercise 5 days a week and if I'm not able to make it to the gym I walk to high school and walk their track. I'm being active and TRYING to eat the right foods. There's a lot of foods I don't like but try to put my own twist on them .An example of a days meal Breakfast 2 eggs with P3 portable protein turkey breast snack mixed in with green onions and almonds on the side. Water to drink. LUNCH-1/2 baked potato with cheese/broccoli on top. Dinner- the other half baked potato with cheese/broccoli on top 3 Snacks per day- 1/3C Trail Mix, Fiber One Trail mix bar, Grapes. I was at a stable at 3 months then started losing. Now I'm trying hard and just not seeing a break through. I even explained my issues to my surgeon and dietitian they seem to think I'm on track. In my mind I should b done lost more than 35lbs. I'm not seeing the 200lb me inside. When I'm starting to feel depressed and wonder did I do the right thing. I went through too much to qualify and pay for the surgery. To b disappointed n my results. If anyone know a different ways/ideas to help me get the protein and scale to move down. I would really appreciate any advice. It's hard when u alone working at this. -

I'm eating up to and no more than 1200 calories per day according to dietitian recommendation. I'm suppose to have 60grams protein a day. Normally I'm less than that sum days I'm over depends on what I eat.Those are the days when I feel I'm constantly hungry no matter what I eat. Even after a premier protein shake. I only drink shakes or water. Not into juices or fruit juices. Dietitian also recommend I eat English muffin instead of bread.Basically I have a list of food with the protein she told me to just pick foods from the list that I can tolerate. Like for instance chef boyardee lasagna bowl and add cottage cheese for extra protein. I use lose it app to track my calories, protein & exercise. I have noticed certain clothes fit loss that wasn't before. I just feel i should b farther along than i am. Thanks for all the advice and caring Starting tomorrow I will be changing my food choices. Updating my results in week or two.
