Feeling totally frustrated



Recommended Posts

I have made zero progress in almost 8 weeks. I'm eating right, exercise any way I can. I have asthma making it difficult to work out much. Someone talk me off the ledge, I was doing awesome 65 lbs from March 19 this year now almost 2 months hitting a wall.

Help me out banders

if you are exercising/eating well and if you are losing inches, you are losing weight even if the scale is not moving as fast as you would like...no need to be frustrated...just keep doing what you are and it will catch up...

Hi, I hit a wall too. I saw a trainer. He suggested to do cardio for at least 30 mins, but if you want results, push to 45 mins. Track food, and stay on track. It will break. It did for me. It takes time. We didn't get overweight overnight! It took years, same as coming off. I know I want a miracle, but I got banded. It's hard work and we can do it. I can proudly say I'm off all meds and the only pills I take now are vitamins! Stick to it, be strong and good luck!!

ps - also do strength training. Strength training burns fat in your resting state.

      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.
