Down 140 lbs, can't seem to lose last 15lbs!



Recommended Posts

I'm down 140 lbs, been sitting at 165 for almost a year. I can't seem to lose the last 15 to reach my goal of 150. My two year surgiversary is in February. Any one battle this problem? I've tried calorie restrictions, the 5 day pouch test, liquids diet. I just can't get down! So frustrating! I am happy to how far I've come and most days I still feel 300.i just don't know if this is where my body is most comfortable.

You look awesome. Just keep it up and you will get there. I switched up some of what I was eating to break my stall. I went right at a month before I started losing again

Just a question--- why are those last 15 pounds so important? You wear a size small, are clearly "normal" BMI. I'm sure any health problems are resolved. Why do you need the last 15 vanity pounds? Check out the what defines success thread!

That said, if they are that important to you... Google 5:2 intermittent fasting or look for threads on that here. It's helped a lot of vets lose those last stubborn pounds.

Congrats! You look great! Any advice on how to be successful post op? I have surgery in 2 weeks and I so concerned with not losing all that I need to lose. You show me that it is possible. What things do you wish you knew before?

      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.
