I'm going crazy!



Recommended Posts

I am 5 months pre - Op and have been sitting at 201 to 203 for 3 weeks now!

I just want to hit 199!

Did anyone else stall as they got close to 199?

I am doing what I know to do.

Fluids are good, Protein is good.

I cycle my calories anywhere from 1200 to 1500.

Gah!

Why couldn't I have stalled at 198? Lol

Am I going to start losing again or will I be stuck for a while?

It's amazing how the scale knows and just mocks us, right? It did that to me too. I stayed off the scale for 3 weeks when that happened to me, and when I got back on it was at 196 or something.

Sometimes going crazy can be a short trip. Just hang around here and ask questions.

Is there anything else you can change up? Exercise, the fats you eat, the number of carbs? You could still be losing inches and not weight as your body adjusts.

Early in the piece I found I was not really what would be classed as 'hungry' [still the case] so cut back what I was eating.

Unfortunately not eating caused my the mind/body to think it was going into diet/starvation mode & weight loss just stalled, until I started eating reasonably & regularly. Only then did weight loss re-commence.

My Doctor said there was no need to count carbs or calories/points etc. Just eat what you liked, until I felt satisfied.

      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.
