Stopped Losing Weight

[ccfisk 0]

I have stopped losing weight for the last 5 weeks. I had my surgery in October and have lost 35 lbs. My goal is to lose 70 total. I am having trouble eating a lot of foods - especially chicken and eggs. I had to have some of my last fill taken out. I don't seem to be satisfied after eating 1/2 cup of food and when I eat, I get a pain in the pit of my stomach. I also throw up a lot.

Any suggetions?

Sounds like you're still too tight. I eat a cup of food, if not more, at a time; 1/2 cup isn't a magical amount or anything.

It sounds like you may be too tight if you are throwing up a lot. I agree with reverie in saying 1/2 cup isn't the magical amount. I can eat more then a 1/2 cup some days and sometimes I can just eat a very small amount. It can vary from day to day, but I'm still losing weight. You just have to make better food choices and talk to your doctor about all of it. That's what they are there for.

It is amazing we are almost exactly at the same point. I had my surgery on October 18. I have lost about 25 pounds since my surgery. I know my problem is I'm unable to quit snacking. I was told to bump up the intensity of my exercise with weights and re-examine my eating habits. I did better today. I unfortunately don't have problems with eating - I am tending to eat too much, then expeirence pain. Are you able to eat tuna (some suggest adding low fat mayo, but I just eat it plain - 80 calories for 2 ozs). Other foods are talipia, Beans, low fat cheese, lean brisket, or lentils.

Hey.... I know how you feel... I had my surgery sept. 13 since then I have lost 43 pound and the last month I have not lost anything... but it was because my band was not tight enough and I started eating what I wanted instead of what I was suppose to... So I went thursday got my band adjusted and went grocery shopping and now I am going to do better.... As far as the eggs... I don't do good with them unless they are just boiled eggs... chicken well I just have to cut it up better and chew a lot more... I hope this helps...
