Im Stuck, I Think



Recommended Posts

For the past week my wt has bounced from 258.6 to 256.8 no matter what I do. I want to eat fruit. It seems so counterintuitive not to. I'm "beginning" to doubt the doc....agggh also my fitness pal puts me over the top for fats. Grump. Want blueberries...strawberries apples help!

Seeing nut next month. Can't wait.

Is this pre-op diet? What are you being told to eat?

12/5 was my surgery and I ve been on Protein and veggies only since then. I do get nuts but only because I asked. I get chili, too, again only because I asked. When I reasonably suggested that the sturgeon (sic) give me a ratio of fats/proteins/carbs because he cannot list all the foods I may or may not eat ("you are cleared to eat everything") he refused and says that people who question him and start looking for diet guidance elsewhere are not successful. He did say no liquid with calories, 64 g protein/day. N0 fruit no chewing gum no going back to Ensure. He doesn't like nutritionists, he said he doesn't trust them. I'm down @52 # and the scale don't move. I work out 6 days a week...3 with personal trainer. 4in gym and 2 in pool. Walk the doggie at least once a day....I'm frequently hungry @ 20 minutes after I eat. This ain't normal and I don't like it. And yes, I drink @ 64 oz/day.

Scheduled a nut visit mid march. Sigh

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like a stall. The more you lose the longer the stall and you lost 52 ( good work ). I would go to a nut. I don't think it hurts to get more than one opion. I was told to lose weight I should stay on Protein, no carbs Best wishes.

I don't eat fruit, but I have juice ( no sugar added ) to curb that sweet tooth. I don't have more than 3 0z a day.....when needed and not every day. It's hard to get away from old habits and fruit is a simple joy, it's just one I am willing to give up short term to get to my goal. I miss asian pears and I will have (part of ) one when I get to goal. I have not bit into a fruit since my pre op diet. Best wishes

Six weeks out - Stall lasted 12 days - yesterday got on the scale and dropped 3 pounds; and put on a pair of pants I haven't worn in four years.

So, I vowed to weigh in once a week and take the scale with a grain of salt for a while.

      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.
