Boohoo :-( I'm Back In The 200S



Recommended Posts

Had my 1 month follow up visit with the doc today and his scale says I weigh 200. My last weigh in on my scale a week ago said 198. I'm a little disappointed, upset even. :angry:

But on a lighter note, he gave me the green light to start working out so after I left his office I went and joined a gym. That's worth something even if I have only lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks right?

My doc's scale always weighs heavier than mine at home. I do my weekly tracking based upon my scale so I don't really worry about what his says. My appointments are usually in the afternoon while my weigh-ins are in the morning (naked, after I've had a BM if possible!!) and of course I'm clothed at his weigh-in.

Don't sweat it, your loss is great!

Thanks Indymom.

I checked my scale when I got home and they are about the same. Oh well! I know almost everyone has a stall at 3 weeks and I'm sure starting back on solid foods my body is still wondering what the heck is going on because I keep changing what I'm eating.

Thanks missmeow ^_^ I definitley agree! I usually weigh myself in the morning but the dr. appt. was in the afternoon after eating and drinking Water all day. And I know I am not getting enough Fiber in but it isn't for lack of trying! Some of the fiber supplements are awful!

I weigh myself at home absolutely nekkid so the doctor's scale is going to weigh heavier. I just subtract for clothes.

Lol, yeah me too. I figured the doctors scale would be a couple pounds more but since I haven't been weighing myself I was hoping I'd lost some weight. I'm not sure, maybe this matters...? I looked back at my food entries in MyFitnessPal and I realized I selected the wrong Protein Shake for almost a week so instead of counting 30g it was only counting 10g. So, I ended up going over the daily Protein requirement for several days. My doctor says to meet 60g but I've been trying to do up to 80g to hopefully avoid Hair loss.< /p>

      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.
