Does anyone ever fail completely ?



Recommended Posts

I haven't lost weight in almost 3 weeks. I'm barely 4 in a half weeks out and I'm getting afraid that what I lost will be all that ill loose. It's hard to see the future of something finally working when you've tried over and over . Is there any time where ppl just don't lose at all? I'm not eating terrible either and just started at the gym.

How much have you lost so far? Everybody is different and your body needs to adjust. Make sure you are eating enough Protein, around 80-90 grams,try and keep your carbs under 50 ( I do under 30) and make sure you get min of 64 oz of Water. This happened to me as we'll. I am just a slow loser 41 lbs since March 1st. 220 start and 179 now. Your starting weight, height, age and metabolism all play a part. Just hang in there and relax and it will start coming off again.

You dropped 34 lbs the 1st couple of weeks? That's huge!! Keep on track and the scale will move again soon. Body needs time to catch up!

I know that it is frustrating when you hit a stall, especially if you have diet so much, like must of us have. You feel like.."here it goes again", but your body will adjust, make sure you are following your doctor's instructions, get in your Protein and Water and the scale will move again! You are doing great!!! :D

      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.
