[kzpmom 0]

So I am almost a year post op and I am only down 30lbs!!!

What are some of your feel full quick meals/ tricks?

Someone suggested putting flavorless Fiber in my food and drinks to make me feel fuller longer??

Someone else suggested Protein Shakes before each meal????

Please help I can use some guidance from more successful people than I am !!!

How often do you go back for fills? If you are super filled, you may wish to request an upper GI to check for pouch dilation.

On the behavior/psychological side: are you stressed, depressed, etc? I was not successful until I started seeing a therapist to help me work through extreme stress due to work and my mothers cancer. I even did Prozac for a while and that actually helped me lose weight. Usually has opposite side effect.

Logistic things: start using my fitness pal now. Track everything you put in your body. I have a high stress job that is unpredictable at best. So I carry emergency rations of food I can keep at roon temperature and is palatable. Protein shakes are great if you can keep in cooler throughout day between meals. This helps me when I'm wanting crappy food I like to eat.

Food wise: reduce bread/pasta/ carb intake to as low a level as you can tolerate. Start each meal with veggies, then do Protein and then have a little bit of carbs. There is science behind not having that initial insulin rush. Not that I understand it at all.

Hope this helps. I have my bad days too, trust me.

Premier Protein shakes, mini babybel light cheese, laughing cow light cheese, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, broth, sf Jello, sf Popsicle, crystal light, cucumber Water are some that work for me to stave off hunger.

How many fills and have you spoken to the nutritionist? Seems like your Dr and his staff should have a lot of insight on why you aren't losing?
