20lbs or less to go



Recommended Posts

I have only go 15 - 20 lbs to go and it is very hard for me to get it lost. I have a tight band and I am trying anything to lose these last 20. But I gain 2lbs then lose 3lbs. I think I am doing well then I weigh myself and I gained 2lbs. Then I pig out what ever I want to eat or should I say can eat. Then I lose weight. I am going crazy. Is there anyone out there that can help me.

i've been struggling with my last 20 pounds too!!! i'm down to the last 9 but it's been f-o-r-e-v-e-r! i've always been a slow loser though but i'm SO anxious to get to my goal weight i can hardly stand it!

what i do when i've hit a plateau is try to change things up. do a different kind of exercise. eat different meals... maybe eat Breakfast at dinner or excercise in the morning instead of at night. something to "shock" your body into change!

good luck and congrats on your weight loss!!

it looks like we got banded around the same time, were the same weight and have the same goals!!

Hello,

I am having the same problem. I have been at the same weight and have even gained a few pounds for over 6 months now! It is very frustrating. My band is tight now and I barely eat much but still see no loss! What do I do? Makes me say why did I even bother to do the surgery in the first place. I will keep trying though.

Hell I wish I could offer some advise because I am down to trying to loose my last 20lbs to and since Feb. I have been the same I have a 10cc band with 8.5cc of saline so I eat very little and work out like crazy now. All I can think of is shocking the body into another workout. Because our bodies get used to the same routine.

I was finally able to get off a few more pounds but I went to eating mostly Soups. Even if ur band is tight that doesn't always help because u will find that u will eat more junk and not lose.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
