For Those Who Started At 250



Recommended Posts

I'm sooooooo jealous of all you guys! I started at 262 sleeved on 4/10 and I'm only down to 214-218 depending. I'm eating at least 80 grams of Proteins and more than enough Water. I don't know what the problem is. I'm working out 6 days a week and sometimes twice a day. The only thing I can think of is maybe its my Implanon(BC) which I'm seriously considering removing. I don't know what move I can do. But I'm happy for you guys' date=' keep up the good work.[/quote']

What's your carb intake? It cld be that you are one of the unlucky ones who are extremely insulin resistant. I have to stay below 20 grams a day. 10 is even better.

I started in April @ 249. Surgery 8/21 @ 218. Today 203. Yep, I'm a SLOW loser, but I'm losing and that's what counts.

Try dropping it below 20 for a few days and see what happens. Also, eat one meal a day w no carbs at all. If these tricks don't work, then I'd look at your birth control. Good luck!

Muffin- also, if you are working out 2x a day, it cld be you are gaining a lot of muscle? I've also read on here that you can work out TOO much. Try posting in the exercise forum and see what they say.

I have the para guard iUD. It has no hormones and no added weight gain. Try looking into that.

I know not to compare to others' date=' but I would live to know how long it took you to get to "onederland" for those of u ladies who started at 250. I just hit my 4 months and I am so close to it, I thought of get there faster. I'm stalling again at 203-205. Yes I'm drinking me Water and getting 80-100 Protein daily. Workout 3-5 times a week and I work in a restaurant. I only take in 30-40 carbs daily. Thanks![/quote']

I was 245.5 on when I started. Sleeves June 27. Made it to 200 In early October. Have gone down to 193 but am back to 198 right now. Trying to refocus on getting enough Water and Protein in. It usually amps up the weight loss and gets me out of my stall.

      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.
