Scale frustration



Recommended Posts

Do you ever think there is a point when your body says I'm not going to let any more lbs go? I'm so frosted I want to loose the last 15 lbs and my body won't give it to me.

I have had a few stalls and it is a little frustrating, but I know it will come. I have been having to heal myself and at most times have been unable to eat and sometimes drink.

My body has gone into starvation, I am sure. I just wish it would go out! When I lose, I lose basically a pound a day. Seeing those same numbers every time I get on the scale is discouraging at times.

I bottomed out after seven months. I maintained that weight for a year. Then I contracted a 7-day stomach flu. I found it hard to eat. Lost a pound a day for a week. Then about a month later, I lost my taste for food for a few days. So between these two events, I lost a total of 10 pounds. I decided to maintain this new level and have done so for around 2 months.

When you are at bottom, there is another concern. It is that your body no longer has the protective reserve of fat to rely on should you suddenly get sick and lose weight.

Point taken.....just stinks to do everything right and see no results. I really think my body just won't give anymore up

I am only 4 months out and feel like I am at a plateau. Does this happen often in the journey? I started working out with a personal trainer and the weight really slowed down. I'm freaking out a bit.

      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.
