Not Loosing



Recommended Posts

i was banded on August 17, 2011. I have had 2 fills. Thus far have lost only 22 lbs, and seem to be stuck. I am having some problems with occasional vomiting. I would like to loose another 30 lbs. I am scheduled for another fill this week. Any suggestions? I seem to be stuck. I think I am eating too many small meals thoroughout the day. I can not eat very much in 1 sitting.

Do you count your calories? Stay under 1200? I eat almost every 2 hours. My meals are 300 calories or less and my Snacks are 100 or less. Also, are you working out? Both of these things are important to lose weight.

Yes, your calorie intake could be playing a big part in it. The type of calories can effect you, too.

I use an Android app called "Lose It!" to track not only my daily calorie intake but to monitor my fat, sugar, carb, and Protein too. It's a lifesaver for me, I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to monitor their food.

I try to stay around 1000 calories a day, at least 60g of Protein, less than 20g of fat, and less than 120g of carbs daily. So far for me, it's working.

Or you could need an unfill.

Don't get discouraged! Change up your routine. Watch calorie intake and exercise.

      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.
