April 2007 Banders - Plateaus



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 1 year ago on 4 /18/ 07 started out at 263 and currently 205.. has been a slow journey was hoping to be 199 before my 1 year anniversary but that is not gonna happen unleds I chop a arm off LOL

Question what is everyone eating? I am currently training for a marathon but had set back when I haD shoulder surgery a month ago but I got back to the gym even tho I have limited use still of my arm. I do high intensity training and that has helped me past my stalls.I hope to get back to gym 2 to 3 hours for training but what baffles me is one would think with the amount of exercise i do and a radical change in my diet I would have lost more than 47 pounds in a year, would love to hear from people who lost real fast how much protien u get a day .. and calories carbs

thanks

Lisa

WOW congrats! and my question.... how many sizes have you dropped? My guess is that you are one compact dynamo packed with muscle....

Since you are training for a marathon you will need more calories than I do....

I am mainly trying to cut the junk out.. which has been my biggest downfall as of late (and for months really)

I was doing sooo well but haven't lost more than a pound a month for 4 months.

Soooo, I'm here to kick start myself back into losing mode!!

I've pulled out my little plate, one cup bowl and small fork.

NOOOOOOOO grazing

NOOOOOOOO ice cream or comfort food

More Protein

More bites and chewing

Anyone intresting in a lap band support group where we can chat about it? I go to the chat room here but it is not the same mostly about newbies and fill questions. U can IM me at butterfly_lisa2001 Yahoo, I think daily checking in is the key to sucess during a platues.

Hello,

I'm not on a plateau right now. I have been in thpast. Right now I am steadily losing but at a slower pace than I would really like to. My last 2 visits to the Doctors has resulted in me not getting a fill. He likes how I'm losing and thinks I'm at a comfortable spot. However this next monday when I go in I don't think it's going to be so good. I've been eating like I need to store up for the winter.

The last plateau I had mad me want to pull my hair out. I kept thinking, why did I put myself through surgery and everything else just to stay at one weight. If I remember correctly it lasted about five weeks before I started losing again. And it just wasn't the weight that was coming off, it was also the inches. I think I was more excited about that. My clothes fit so much better.

The biggest thing I learned through that was to just wait. It will end and I will be back to losing again. I need to give my body time to figure out what is going on and let it adjust.

Hang in there, it will all work out.

      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?

      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.
