Can't seem to loose anymore weight



Recommended Posts

I am 6 months out since my surgery and had lose about 40lbs. Today I went for a follow up and found that I had gained 3 lbs. it was very disheartening. Just wondering if anyone experienced a gain and how did you get past it weight loss wise and emotionally? It really took the air out of my sail.

There was a week where it seemed like the scale went up several days. I was devastated. I came up with several scenarios from TOM to muscle weighing more than fat. I took a hard look at my diet and exercise routine and I did two Protein Shakes and one full meal for two days in a row and the loss started up again. I am not sure if that was the right thing to do but hey, it worked. I noticed what was different in my diet compared to previous weeks and made a few changes and I changed up my exercise routine just shake things up a bit. Hope this helps.

wow, i feel the exact same way!

Was banded in august and have lost about 50 lbs and recently gained back a few. Today I went for a fill and hope that will help, since I have plateaued for over a month :angry: :angry: :angry: Anyhow, I definetly think you should try carb cycling to break out of this funk (there is a there is a topic about it here and many people have had big success with it.)

Just keep exercising and following your dietary rules and you'll eventually lose more

      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.
