What am I doing wrong??



Recommended Posts

Wednesday was my 3 week post op, I haven't lost any weight in the past 2 weeks!!:biggrin0: This is really freaking me out, I am on the soft food stage, meaning that if I can chew it to death I can eat it ( meatloaf, deli chicken etc.) I'm not eating alot but I find that I want to snack at night, this is usually when I have SF pudding, or a string cheese. Any ideas on what I can do, or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help:frown1:

It just sounds like you are going through the typical 3rd week stall. There is no way you are eating more calories or even equal to what you are expending. It will have no choice but to start picking up again.

Are you doing any walking at all? That helps me up my metabolism and as long as I'm doing that, even 30 Minutes a day, I'm losing.

Also, how are your clothes fitting? Go try on some clothes in your closet that you haven't tried on in awhile and see how they fit! That is such a huge motivator for me and keeps me on the positive side. If you don't have any, go window shopping and see what size your fitting there.

All the best!

totally normal! it happened to me and I had my surgery 1 year ago--ive since lost +140lbs and am still losing. The key is when you start getting better to exercise. But, for now...dont sweat it just follow the plan. you'll don fine.

      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.
