Recommended Posts

Omg I'm so discouraged because I'm not losing weight. Last week I lost 2 pounds this week gained it back. Not cheating or eating crap either.

How many calories are you getting in? I seem to stop losing when I don't get enough.

I'm having the same issue and I'm only 4 weeks out. Gained all the weight I lost last week. On the other hand I'm noticing that I'm still losing inches. So I hope I'm gaining muscle and losing fat. I have decided to also look at my sodium intake to make sure I'm not retaining Water. I get 5-700 cals a day. And 75g of Protein on most days. I am getting in all my fluids too. It is so discouraging though specially so early on!

I think anytime you stay the same or gain slightly it is discouraging. My weight has been creeping down, I have even tried a few "Tricks" like more Protein, more Water, more calories, less salt, less carbs, more movement. :wub: I think the body retaliates by holding on. It needs time to adjust. I have to remember, "When was the last time you lost weight this fast?" :rolleyes: (Emoticons added by my almost 6 year old.)

I had surgery march 4th. I have lost 30 lbs but still do not want to eat. I hardly want to eat at all. I get nauseated even thinking of it. I would rather drink. Anyone else have this problem? I think I would lose more if I would eat

      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.
