Feeling Badly Every Few Weeks



Recommended Posts

So my weight-loss is going well. But for 2-days every 2nd week I feel badly. Yesterday was a prime example. I struggled to get my Protein and fluids in. I had no cravenings or want for food. Yet all day I felt like I was bubbling in my sleeve. And at one point I just cried because I felt so badly. I'm taking medince for gas, but it just doesn't seem to work for those two days.

Today I'm fine. I'm just wondering if this will continue on the journey of feeling fine 98% of the time and then crappy for 2% of the time.

does it perhaps coincide with ovulation and menstruation? You may be low on Iron.< /p>

Do you write down everything you eat, maybe it is effecting you a day or so later, lactose intolerent, a new allergy to a food, etc.

Someone on here said they used a draft to show their weight loss, so now they recognise by a pattern, when they go into a stall.

With that being said, if you notice every couple of weeks a different type of pattern, what is happening to you, maybe if you track everything you consume maybe then you might be able to narrow down what is happening.

If you do track everything already then go back and look and see what might stand out. Be prapared and take that info to your Dr.

I had similar feelings when i was constipated. loss of appetite, kinda sluggish, and a bloated feeling with a lot of gas. you might be constipated.

I have been tracking my intake since Dec 1 on myfitnesspal. I don't think it's food or milk.

But the one pattern I have noticed is that every time this happens I lose about 2-3 lbs. I just wonder if it's something my body is doing now.

      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.
