Tom Question For The Ladies



Recommended Posts

Okay, I am at such a loss!!!! I stalled out around 7/15/12 for about 2 weeks then around the 30th I lost 5 lbs then got down another 4lbs. In the last week I have gone UP 4 lbs. so in a month's time I have only lost 3lbs. I know it is around TOM and I started working out this past Monday, but anyone have any ideas on YYYYYY this is happening. I am getting anywhere from 800 to 1000 calories a day and about 40-60 grams of carbs. 60+ on Protein and 8-10 glasses of liquid (water w/crystal light or unsweet tea w/sweet n low). I am sooo frustrated please any advice would help, I am crying almost daily.

It happens to me all the time, completely normal. I stall for 1-2 weeks, lose a few, lose a few more and stall again. I try to mix it up when that happens, up my food intake a bit, change my workout routine and drink a couple more glasses of Water, normally breaks the stall in a couple days for me. I feel your pain....it sucks! Give it a try and see of it helps. The TOM doesnt help either, I normally retain a few lbs of water weight then too! Best of luck and hugs to you!

This is how I feel exactly today! I feel my TOM coming and I always get symptoms a week before including the bloating so I've been going from 222-224 and it's frustrating! I wanna be under 220 already . Started working out this week and it feels good.

That's great! I'm wondering if I'm a considered a slow loser ? 28 pounds in since preop and got sleeved July 7, so that's 20 pounds since my sleeve date (6 weeks)

      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.
