2 Months Banded And No Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

I also don't eat Breakfast early. Here's how I handle breakfast: greek yogurt, one small baggie of half scoop Protein powder, 1 tsp unflavored Fiber, splendra to taste; small baggie couple chopped walnuts, and about 1/2 cup high Protein Cereal (Kashi go lean). First mix up fruit on the bottom of the yogurt, add in the powder and then the Cereal. Very high Protein Breakfast for about 300-350 calories.

Are you weighing your lunch and dinner protein? My doctor says 3 oz of solid protein. Measure out your protein and then eat low fat/carb veggies until full. Trust me it 's hard to over eat plain carrrots, broccoli, or cauliflower.

I am not a calorie counter either. I do however choose lower calorie options. Plain skinless chicken breast is a better choice than fried chicken or with a high fat sauce.

Soooo, since I made this post nearly 2 weeks ago, I am down nearly 6 pounds!!! Changes made are eating MORE at a meal and feeling FULL. Yay!! Turns out I was eating about 1/4 - 1/2 cup at a time and then snacking all the time. The snacking was what would equal out to about 1.5 cups of food for a meal. No wonder I never felt full or lost any weight. Thanks for the tips. I needed a portion check and now have a measuring cup in my bag LOL. Counting calories happens 5-6 days a week now instead of 2 or 3. What a change!

Thanks for the help. ~Laurel

As frustrating as it is, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one struggling. I have the same problem. I'm also about 2 months out, have had 1 fill and I don't feel any restriction :/ I hope we both can get over this hump and get going with our weight loss! Good luck!

      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.
