Help getting over this hump...



Recommended Posts

I have been gaining and loosing the same 5 to 10 pounds over and over for more then a month now. I have tried increasingly my exercise, eating right, and more Water, but nothing seems to be helping. I have lost around 120 lbs and am thrilled, but am not at my goal. Anyone have some words of wisdom or support? Please.

Are you tracking your food? Mind Sharing a few days worth? It is really hard to lose the last of the weight!

The reason i suggest posting details not just a general statement is because the "devil is in the details". At about 8-9 months out my weight loss slowed way down - and I had alot more to lose (I lost 150 in total). The NUT figured out that I was getting alot of carbs in my protien bars and eating too many of them... they had become a snacky slider for me. Point being even something that is "on program" can interfere with losses. As you get closer to goal, it gets tougher and tougher.

I had to go low carb and high intensity interval training workouts to get the last 30-40 pounds off.

      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.
