I Weigh More Now Than When I Got Approved For Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am getting really really down. I cant believe summer is here, and I havent lost a single pound. I go in for my fourth fill in a few weeks, and I have lost nothing. I feel like I am making better choices, and eating alittle less, but I feel NO restriction. The only difference I see is that my food hurts me on the way down if I dont chew it well enough, and I cant drink while I eat (WHICH I HATE!!!!) OH! And I cant vomit!!!! Which is terrible!!!! I have had a sick tummy once or twice since the surgery ( January 24) and I am unable to vomit!!!! To say that I am sad is an understatment. I feel like going into hiding.

If you're not keeping track of your calories and Protein intake, I would suggest doing so for awhile to see how much you're eating and where you should make some changes. When you're logging what you eat you're much more apt to hold yourself accountable, too.

If food is uncountable going down it sounds line you have restriction to me.

I accidently hit post.. .anyway, just keep doing what your doing but learn to listen to your body and the signals you g et from your band. If it hurts going down, try smaller bites and chew chew chew. I have never experienced full like I did before being banded, its totally different and hard to explain. As soon ad I get the hiccups or I feel pressure in my pouch, I stop eating and am satisfied. It took me a while to get that and to lose. Hang in there, y can do this! :)

      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.
