Frustrated :( No weight loss....



Recommended Posts

My sugery date was 11/26 so just a little over 3 weeks out and its been a week and a half and I am losing I actually gain a pound then lose it...

Its so frustrating :( I am not seeing any movement, isn't too soon to be at a stand still.

Im doing mostly liquids and introducing some soft foods daily little by little. I have at least 60g o Protein each day as a bare minimum and on good days Im doing about 80g.

I am walking everyday 1 mile in 30 minutes which is sometimes hard but I push myself and I sweat and my heart rate goes up.

What am I doing wrong :(

Keep in mind your body is in a complete shock right now, it has entered starvation mode and is holding onto everything. Trust me this will pass and you will start losing. Everyone is different so be patient with your new body.

You don't need to weigh yourself everyday either if you have been. Your body is confused right now about why you have bee eating practically nothing! I've learned to take it one day at a time. Be happy that you made this decision and that your on your way to a happier healthier you!!

In a couple months you will read this same post from a new post opter and will chuckle to yourself.

Trust me we have all been there and we have all come out the other side! Don't get discouraged you did not put the weight on in a month and it will take your body time to adjust. You will have many stalls during this process, but they are only temporary and I have really noticed that when I stall on the scales I am still losing inches. Keep your chin up!

I am with you feeling it is coming off slowly. its hard when I went in my surgeon said I would lose 100 pounds in 4 months and I just don't think that's possible. I wish he wouldn't have said that to me. I am losing like 2 pounds a week.

Nikki its ok to eat low fat saltines just make sure you are not eating a lot of salt because that will make you hold on to the.fluid

      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.
