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



Recommended Posts

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?

not directed to me, but good luck! follow your plan, and you should be successful. i wish i knew from the beginning that stalls are normal...you will have periods of losing then not, maybe even gaining a little. don't let that discourage you! check how your clothes feel, take pictures, hide the scale if it proves to be a burden and just weigh yourself once a week or so. i hop on the scale daily purely out of habit, but since i know my body's rhythm, it doesn't freak me out to see a stall.

I can totally relate. Have been at the same weight for over a month now. I keep asking myself if maybe this is the weight I am meant to be. If so then something miraculous has happened. I am maintaining my weight. Something I have NEVER been able to do in the past. Looking at this as a huge milestone. I am trying to pay close attention to what I am doing so that I can really learn what maintenance looks like. Keeping 120 pounds off is more important to me right now than losing 10 more.

Great job, you have come so far! I am in the same boat, just 4 pounds from my goal and I have been messing around with that 4 pounds since Thanksgiving. I am completely happy with where I am at, but I am also super competitive and when I set a goal, I will meet it if it kills me :-)

      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.
