plateaued with 47lbs to go



Recommended Posts

I was banded 3-11-11. I have lost 117lbs since. For the last 2 months I have stopped losing. I lost steadily before hand, 2-3lbs a week. I was tracking everything with Myfitnesspal, but stopped tracking 11-11-12 when I went away for my one year anniversary. I need to start tracking again, I know. What else can I do to get back on track?

Exercising, if you aren't already.

Also, expect plateaus. But don't allow them to give it a reason to stray from your diet.

Look at your diet. Fall back to what you were eating at the beginning.

It will come off. Be patient. Be positive, look where you are!!!!!!! Congrats!

Congratulations on your weight loss. Definitely take an honest look at what you are eating. For me, increasing my Protein and solid foods usually kicks things off. Keep up the exercise and Water. Make sure that you are getting enough calories. Be patient, your body will catch up - just remember how far you've come.

Thank you both. Honestly, I probably haven't been eating very healthy which is why I'm back to my myfitnesspal app starting today. I will get it back on track. I do excersize, but perhaps my body has grown complacent with what I do. A little change up could help. I have to be careful though, I have slipped disks in my lower back from a car accident. It can be very easy for me to throw out my back and be out of commission for a week. Thanks for the positive reinforcement!!!

      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.
