Help...I I'mnot losing weight..What have I done wrong?



Recommended Posts

I had the gastric sleeve done June 5, 2013. I seem to be at a stand still and can't seem to lose anymore weight. I have been at the same weight now for a couple months. I know stress can sometimes play into it but... I watch a coworker lose weight so easy but I haven't been able to. I can't hardly eat more than a few bites at a time, I graze most of the time. I have a hard time getting all the Vitamins and supplements in as well as the Water. I do use unflavored Protein powder with yogurt smoothies and Protein Bars. Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Need more info. How many calories, Protein, and Water are you getting in? What does grazing all day mean to you?

Use my fitness pal and track calories, carbs and liquid. Sometimes we think we are not eating very much but when we keep track it shows up different especially if you are grazing. Keep your Protein up also.

I'm in the same pickle. I know I'm spot on with the exercise. I've completed the 5k program and have started training for a half marathon. I have only lost 6 lbs in the last 6 months! I know I've toned up but that's not enough. It's in my good consumption.

I only eat 3 specific times a day and usually not more than 4 or 5 oz. sometimes in the evening I eat 1/2 carb master yogurt from Kroger. I also only eat 800 calories or less a day.

I use myfittnesspal and log every bite I put in my mouth and I walk at least 1 mile a day. Even doing all that I average only about 2 pounds a week.

I think keeping track of what you eat is the key. Grazing and sliders will get you.

I also try to get between 60 and 80g of Protein and keep my carbs under 50g.

I used unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mix it with Water and crystal light.

Hope that helps. Blessings. T

Oh and only drink 30 minutes after you eat. That is key. ????

My surgery was on June 7, 2013 and my weight loss has now slowed down to about a pound a week. Try getting in all your Protein and Water. Watch those carbs especially with grazing and eating Protein Bars. You might also look into the 5:2 diet. A lot of people have had success with jump starting their weight loss with this. You have done terrific with losing 79 pounds!! Hang in there!! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
