What to eat?? Losing hope



Recommended Posts

Okay..so I got the surgery done June 9th....I have lost about 11lbs since then. I know weight loss is super slow but hey iths something. I have been doing zumba about 3-4 times a week, counting calories (about 1200 a day), and I have 8.3 in my band. I was wondering of someone would like to share their blog or food diary to see what I'm doing wrong. If i eat slow enough and take small bites, it can go eat with no problem and feel full faster...but not exactly feel full longer...what am I doing wrong??? Any type of help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. Has anyone gone through a slow weight loss but finally it's turned around?? I need some hope :)....also has anyones Dr' prescribed any diet pills with Lapband?

Friend me on myfitnesspal.com and you will be able to see my diary, although I will say I have been very fortunate on the weight loss side, not slow at all.

I eat 5 to 6 times a day and eat between 800-1000 cals a day. I also go to curves 5xs a week and have also increased my walking from 2 miles to 5 6 days a week.

Hi loosing slowly really sucks, I seem to do better eating low carbs, I would suggest you meet with your Nutritionist again. For me I have to eat low carbs, high Protein,

You should keep your carbs under 100, I know you are working out a lot and some would say you need more calories, but if you up them make sure they are with protein.

I am 2.5 years out would have liked to have lost more but my weight is now stable. I seem to loose in 10 lb implements and have to get really strict with the carbs to get the scale to move.

Good luck and see make an appointment with the nutritionist you meet with before your surgery.

      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.
