It's Been Awhile



Recommended Posts

Hello All, I have not been on here in about 8 months and decided to get on here and see how people are doing, and I'm looking for some support. I am very happy to say that I have lost so much wait, but still have another 100 to go. I started my journey at a whopping 597eek.gif and am now down to 365. Yes, that is 232 lost.laugh.pnglaugh.pnglaugh.pnglaugh.png I am very happy but have found myself stuck for the last 4 months. I have not gained thankfully but I am seriously stuck and the weight won't move. I have tried to add different workouts and everything but nothing is working. I'm just looking for some ideas or things I can do to shake things up. I am do for a fill but I don't really think that is the problem. I know what I'm eating and I'm staying on track. I'm thinking that my body has just said enough for a while and hoping that things get going soon. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Hope everything is good with all of you.

Hi, Don14! You have done fabulous!! WOW! I have been stuck before, and what has usually helped me is a few days of going back to mostly liquid, along with increased exercise. I'm really surprised at how critical exercise is to losing and maintaining! I never exercised before, and now I realize how important it is.

But, be sure to pat yourself on the back for 1. losing soooo much!!! and 2. not gaining during this plateau.

Also, do go talk to your doctor about the fill. It very well could be the culprit.

Keep up the great work!!! teeth_smile.gif

      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.
