Cant Stop Crying Any Help?

1st Thanks everyone for your replies!

(History: I had a bad stay at the hospital, long story short, during my surgery my spleen was bruised causing me a great deal of pain, I complained of pain in the hospital and it fell on deaf ears, this was extremely tramatizing. After being discharged I went to another hospital through emergency and found out about my spleen. So this has damaged my relationship with my surgeon and I haven't been folowed by a specialist since that day. I have tried to find another surgery but this has been difficult I'm currently on a waiting list.)

I wanted to say that in the first three months I followed every rule to the "T" when it was possible. I say this because alot of days I had NO appetite and found a day or two going by and I hadn't ate anything. It's been really hard to get in the required amount of liquids but 99% of the time I drink Water only! On the days when I did eat, I ate only what I was suppose to eat. meaning mostly Protein my diet was more lean and green than anything .

What I ate: Lean ground turkey loaf with onions and green peppers, some sort of green veggie, if I used fat to cook it was a dash of olive oil never any breads no red meat or pork either baked or grilled chicken or turkey, no starch! Breakfast a egg and lean turkey sausage, very simple thinks low sugar fruits cantalope, honey dew. lots of fresh string Beans. On this diet I lost an average of 1 pound a week . three weeks after surgery I lost 11 pounds that was 4/2/12 since then I've been averaging about 1pound a week total weight lost is 22 pounds.

Last month I have been off schedule feeling depressed and helpless I said F- this and I have ate a few lunchmeat sandwhiches had some choocolate, a few chips here and ther but honestly I can't even eat a a orange without feeling full so I figure even on my binge I hardly ate much due to my reduced stomach uhgggg!!!

Oh another thing, I dont have any of those food trackers or fitness trackers mentioned in the or any online tools i'm just learning of these things.

I hope this helps other when giving me advice with my issue.

I never been a soda or juice girl or at least i havent been one in the last 10 years due to diabetes. I don't drink coffee or tea, I dont smoke nor drink alcohols. I only drink Crystal Light beverages outside of Water. Please let me know if I left out any thing that would help you all to help me!

Ok, girl here it is. Get your myfitnesspal app (it's free) and get your account going. Start logging everything and looking for a new doc and NUT. You don't even have to have a bariatric doc (although best), just one that can check some things out for you. Get some blood work done to see if your sugar, thyroid or anything else you can think of is out of wack. BTW getting super stressed out increases the hormone called cortisole. This causes you to gain weight or not be able to lose weight. So try to chill out and relax a bit, that could be fighting you also.

After reading what you had to say, it appears that too much may not be your problen, but too little. Your body may be shutting down. Too little can have the same effect as too much. I know how you feel about the not wanting to eat, but you have to make yourself do it. Get on a schedule using the MFP and eat every 2-3 hours. 3 meals and 3 Snacks. This keeps your body working continously (your metabolism going). Take it one day and one log at a time. With the diary, you will be able to see exactly what you are eating and exactly how many calories you are burning. Take it with you when you do get a doc and they might be able to see what is going on with you. They migh even want to test your metabolic rate. Just hang on and don't give up. I know you are terribly discouraged, but we will try to help you the best we can. (((HUGS)))

BenisaMartin may be right. Too little calories and your body thinks it's starving. It will then try and hang onto all calories consumed. To see how many calories your body needs to lose weight, check out this web site...www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators.html

Good luck!
