Recommended Posts

I don't know why I'm not losing weight, here is what I'm eating I do not know how to count calories and my Dr. didn't gave an specific diet

9:00 a.m. Protein Shake

1:00 p.m. chicken broth w/veggies

5:00 p.m. Chicken Breast w/veggies

10:00 p.m. Soup or ff Jello

I'm eating 3 to 5 oz each time, if you have any comments or suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks :)

are you pre or post op? your profile says pre surgery.

if that is the case, that doesnt matter if you are losing unless they specifically asked you to. i am sorry, you didnt give alot of info on YOU, just what you said you are eating.

sweetie, you should not be worried about losing as you are still recovering from major surgery. my dr had me on 2 weeks liquid after surgery so i am surprised you are eating chicken breast already. but all dr are different.

it will come (the weight loss) just hang in there.

Are you exercising at all too? Also, the Soup you are eating is it high sodium to where you may be retaining Water?

Lastly, I have heard many say to take measurements, sometimes what isn't reflected on the scale shows up in inches. Good luck.

Please use this time as for healing, just as Carolina girl said you are still recovering. I am 9 days post-op and just started mushy stages per instructions of my surgeon because I am having a hard time with my Protein and she is worried I will get sick having no nutrients, but she made it clear my mushy foods are to be very liquidy (no meats) I am drinking plenty of water(about 64 ounces) and gatorade. Gatorade replenishes any loss of fluids, restoring back electrolites. It has the right amounts of sodium, carbs, and potassium. I drink about 12 ounces a day.

Main thing is to follow YOUR surgeon's orders to what your plan is! Don't worry about the weight as it will come off :)

The sample I will need to follow after my surgery is as follows:

Breakfast - 1/4 - 1/2 cup of cottage cheese low fat or yogurt

am snack - 1 cup of Protein Shake with skim milk

lunch - 1/4 - 1/2 cup of cottage cheese low fat or yogurt

pm snack - 1 cup of Protein shake with skim milk

dinner - 1/4 - 1/2 of strained cream Soup or cottage cheese

This is the post op diet with plenty of protein that my doctor gave me and make sure your broth is low sodium. As you can see protein is key, if you try this for one day you will see results.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
