Getting frustrated

[Susie1226 138]

OK so I know my clothes are looser but I haven't seen the scale move and it's frustrating me. Apart from that the fact that I can only eat very little portions of food has me not even wanting to eat. It's almost too much of an effort to eat. I am eating so don't get me wrong but I can't help feeling this way. Almost just want to stay with my yogurt and Protein Drinks. Sigh... Today is a down day. Just finished crying for no reason.

Right there with you :{ I had my surgery on Feb 19th and still weigh MORE than I did the day of surgery, please explain that to me :{{. I have been so frusterated and mad at myself cus I feel like I'm doing something wrong but then I tell myself what the heck could I be doing wrong I'm eating 700 calories a day getting in @ least 40g Protein and all my Water most days. I know for sure b4 surgery I was eating way more than 700 calories. If you get some words of wisdom please share with me cuz this scale is pissing me off and about to find a new home in the bottom of a dumpster. I wish you all the luck and success on your journey :}

sorry to hear that. hope you're feeling better. My weight had been in a stall for about 2 weeks and it broke today. I weighed myself this morning and the scale said I was down 3 lbs. Your stall will break also...just keep doing everything right and it'll happen.

I am there with you! I've not lost a pound in over two weeks and surgery was 2/18..., but 40 grams if Protein isn't enough... Needs to be 60-90 grams minimum

Do everything "right" is the issue for me, I have no clue what the "right" thing is. The NUT I saw was no help what so ever, she didnt give me any guidelines on how many calories to eat, grams of Protein to get per day. Im assuming these #'s will change the further along I get but I need to know the right now things. Only thing I got when I walked out of her office was Don't drink 30 b4 30 after eating and @ least 64oz liquids a day.

I'm right there with you!! My surgery was Feb.26. A week after surgery I had lost 7lbs. The dr took me off all my bp meds. b/c I had low bp. Then I gained 2lbs, and haven't lost anything since. I think my scales lie!! My clothes feel looser. I know I lost, but the damn stupid scales won't say so!!!

I was on pre-op diet for 2 weeks. I had 2 Protein drinks and a small meal and I lost 10 lbs in those two week. So I have lost a total of 26 lbs but that's it. I'm in a stall. I was sleeved on 2/19/13.

[Mini Me Wanna~Be 56]

I did pre op diet for 17 days b4 surgery they call it lean & green. I was allowed 2~3 Protein drinks/shakes a day and either chicken, turkey or fish/seafood & a green veggie for dinner. I started my journey out at 297 now at 256 now but from surgery day I weighed 255 a week later I weighed 267 (gained 12lbs) and as of today 256. so still 1 lb above surgery weight :{ I understand the whole "stall" thing but the 12lb gain, that im frustrated about.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved 3/4/13. I was on a liquid diet 2weeks prior to my surgery. I was also getting very frustrated because I was following ALL the drs orders, walking & drinking what I was told. After surgery I was still on liquid diet till my 1week check up. I was on the scale every day and the scale DIDN'T move at all for 3 days. I was so devastated. At my 1week check up the dr said, 1) stay off the scale, 2) if you have less body fat to loose it will come off slower than those who have more body fat to loose. 3) keep getting at least 90g of Protein in.

Try increasing your protein, defiantly get your Water in, and continue to exercise (walk unless cleared by you dr). Good luck to all of us!!

I am so worried about some of the nut support I see out here! I have two of the best nuts at my doctors office. So supportive and encouraging. Staff is awesome to!

There are high level req that most if us get. After that it is up to us to make choices based on our new bellies! I will be happy to share any info I have.

60-90 grams of Protein

45-60 grams carbs

25 grams fat

64 oz of fluids Low sugar

I have had some large taste changes and struggle to fit in with the normal folks but last week I finally realized I really don't want too!

Let me know via message if I can share anything!

My pre-op diet was 7 days of sugar free carnation instant Breakfast with 1c of 1% milk, 6 a day. I lost 7lbs on that. I will never drink that again!!!!
