Finally...the Scale Is Moving Again!



Recommended Posts

I hit a plateau that lasted about 6 weeks, so I knew something had to give. I was so frustrated I went as far as to have my thyroid checked (everything is fine). Last week I joined a gym and signed up with a trainer, and increased my Protein and Water intake. I stepped on the scale this morning and bam! Down 3 pounds! I also have a lot more energy, which is a great bonus. Take that, plateau!

EVERYONE has experienced this. There are as many opinions here as there are........

Well, lets just say everyone's got one and there really is not any good rhyme or reason, it just is.

I've been at a plateau for 2-1/2 months now. Yesterday, Sunday, it was very cold and I was completely happy watching Football all day on TV.

Unfortunately, I also grazed all day with some popcorn, some chips and salsa, cheese, etc.and a Beer!

I thought I probably blew it big time, and I will have to pay extra attention next day or 2, maybe go all liquids.

This morning I went to the gym. After workout, I weighed myself there and I dropped 4 lbs! Go Figure!

All one can do is continue doing what you're supposed to do, and be assured it will pass, sooner or later!

      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.
