kinda stuck...



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, so I've kinda been stuck at the same weight for the past couple of weeks. I feel as if I've come to a stop. I got my first fill about a week ago and I've been eating right and working out twice a day but I just can't seem to lode another pound and idk what to do... I don't feel like a failure I just feel stuck I've been banded for two and a half months so I know I'm still at the beginning of my weight loss.

Plateaus are normal we all go through them. If you're still burning calories than you consume then will lose the weight, it just may take a little time for your metabolism to catch up.

Also, you said "eating right", does that mean you track your calories too? If not, I would suggest doing so just to make sure you're not accidentally eating more than you should be.

Best wishes.

Yes I track everything I eat on my fitness pal app. I do have a hypothyroid and I know that can also cause a lot of weight issues and sometimes it takes months for the medication to really start working its just so frustrating but I won't let that stop me I just hope my weight loss starts again. Thanks!!!

Unfortunately it's a part of weightloss, even if we didn't have the band we would stumble across plateaus, you're doing everything right and I like your attitude of not letting it stop you. It will start coming off again.

      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.
