Going back to the beginning......



Recommended Posts

So......tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post-op and I am gaining weight instead of losing. The first 4 weeks I lost 24lbs and then stalled. I have gained 4lbs in the past week. I am going to start over from the full liquid stage to see if I can lose some of this weight. Not discourged, but a little disappointed. I am doing light exercise 3 x week (treadmill, eliptical), nothing heavy. People are telling me that I look good, but I hate that darn scale!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Have a great day all and keep losing!!

I suggest doing a half hour or whatever you can in aerobic exercise.

You might still be stalling. As you say, go back to the basics to make sure you're not making any poor choices. You might try logging your food with www.myfitnesspal.com. Are you getting your 64+ ounces of Fluid in every day? If not, you should focus on that too. And remember, stalls happen -- don't let them derail your program. Good luck!!!

I am using myfitnesspal. It really does help. This past weekend has not been the best LOL. But I do need to focus on my Water intake. I feel like I can't remember the last time I had close to 64 ounces of water. I am getting my Protein in via Premier Protein. I know it's the water issue. Thanks for responding!

I am just over 6 weeks and I am going through the same feelings you are. I was getting my Protein and calories. I was taking all my Vitamins. My Water intake was not even close to 64 oz. So I called my NUT, and she said I have to do more exercise. So last week I started to walk 30 minutes on the treadmill. By no means like a trackstar. I weighed myself this morning and I finally lost weigt again. Just hang in there, hopefully you will find your nitch.

      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.
