soooo frustrated!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am one month out and have only lost 10 pounds. I lost more on my two week preop diet. I just don't understand. How can I be eating so little and only lose 10 pounds???? I am getting all my Water and Protein. Starting to wonder if I'm just destined to be fat.....

You state you lost more than 10 lbs on preop so you've lost more than 20 lbs in 6 weeks. That is fantastic!! Our bodies aren't machines that produce the same results every time. I lose weight in "clumps." For example, I had a 2 month stall from July 3 to Sept 3. Then I lost 9 lbs in 2 days. For me it is always like that. So don't despair!! Your body is adjusting according to its own schedule. You have lots of weight loss in your future!!

Relax, it will happen. Everyone goes through slow times. I lost 20 lbs right away, then nothing for a month. Then it picked back up. Just stay away from the scale, and instead enjoy your clothes getting looser. You will notice the inches more quickly than the lbs.

Yeah, I freaked out the first three months. I had really high expectations. I see my aunt who has been out 2+ years and she still loses a little here and there. I just take a moment to realize I eat way better than I ever did. I eat way less than I ever did. and I exercise way more than I ever did. I feel better than I have in years and look better too. I will be satisfied that this is where I am at this moment. And for the first time I will look forward to the future. chin up!

      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.
