No Weight Loss 2 Months Post Op?!



Recommended Posts

HELP! Feeling so discouraged and defeated (again). I'm 2 months post op with one small fill and I've only lost 4 pounds.

Any advice?!?

Sorry your struggling, you have not mentioned how many cals you are taking or what you doctor said at your last visit. Are you getting in all your protien. How do you track your food and exercise? I use. My fitness pal. Don't give up it can take a few fills to have restriction.

My doctor gave me a list of things that are “Predictors of Success” basically they are things that people who have been successful did during their journey.

  • Regular Physical Activity
  • food Journaling
  • Regular Office Visits
  • Use your bands website
  • Follow up with your Dietitian

I’m only two weeks post op and I have already found that if I don’t food journal that I will over eat or eat too many calories without even knowing it. Sometime things that seem good for us are really high in calories. I would journal everything!! Make sure you get all your Protein and that you don’t go over your calories for the day. I’m supposed to have 80 grams of Protein and keep my calories between 800-1200.

I would also make sure that you are exercising every day even if it’s only for a short time.

know what you mean but I haven't gotten my journey on the near straight and narrow yet. I have had only one fill. 1cc. in a 11cc band. I still love the band because I haven't gained any weight.

Day 48

-15 lbs including pre op diet.

I am going to keep trying.

Drink my Water

count calories

exercise

get Protein

We can do this. No I haven't been perfect but I do know my shortfalls.

It is all about me, I can do better.

Must luck to both of us.

You answered your own question...IMO, with "One Small Fill"

What is different now than before you were banded? besides "One Small Fill?"

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
