Hi Everyone

I have been on a 6month supervised diet required by my insurance co. and HAVE to lose 5% of my wt. Im now into the 7th month and yesterday according to my scale I hit the goal! I was so excited! so I went into the dr to get an offical wt and there scale weighs me 3 lbs heavier!!! UGH! Everything is ready to go for my surgery, all the tests are done etc...now I have to lose 3 more stickin pounds! Right now I do Protein Shake (50gms protein) for Breakfast, salad at lunch and small dinner. Very low carb. Plus Im walking/jogging 2 miles daily.

Im tired of waiting!! Ive actually lost more then 5% cuz over christmas I gained 11 lbs so Ive lost all that plus 13 more. Now I have 3 to go.....

Just venting I guess!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Thanks for listening

Hang in there, you will lose the 3lbs and be on your way! Just keep up with the good nutrition and exercise, it will come off. Good luck, Wayno

Oh, that's so frustrating! But you're doing great, and you WILL get there!!

Not only will you get there, but you will get there stronger because of this experience. I haven't hardcore dieted in a couple of years, and while the impatient side of me was relieved that I did not have to go through the supervised diet, now I am worried about getting banded and not being "ready" or forgetting how to eat within certain guidelines. I am going to have to relearn that discipline on the fly and I'm terrified it will impede my post-band progress, which will only deflate me mentally. You will hit the ground running when you do finally get there and I'm sure your progress will further motivate you! So as frustrated as you may be keep in mind that it will all be so very worth it!

I completely understand...I have been doing something very similiar and I am just not seeing the weight come off the way I thought it would. So frustrating...I am just so worried I may have gained this month...I just ordered a new scale because the one I have is a lil old...and I am hoping it is wrong because there is a def. indication I gained weight..but if I gained 7lbs...I would think I would have felt it a lil...well I guess that is my problem...I don't realize...and need to be banded....I hope it works...out..just stay strong...:thumbup:
