No weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm STARVING!!! I eat mostly low carb not every single day but most days. No weight loss, no restriction, ticks me off because I want a CHICK FIL A sandwich and fries so freaking bad!! I'm beyond ready for this weight to start falling off before I totally fall off the wagon. Its 6:30am and I'm hungry! Okay sorry rant over coffee with my Protein Shake for Breakfast like a good girl ????

Well, I think the key here is you said you are eating 'mostly' low carb...'most' days. I find for me, the more carbs I have..the more I want...really want. I am allowed 30 net carbs a day, but if I still to 20, I find I don't want bread and Pasta and sweets. I even went to a Christmas celebration yesterday and passed up a whole table of sweets.

How many net carbs are you eating in a day? And as far as chick filA craving..get a 4 count chicken nugget to satisfy your craving..it would be 4 net carbs and around 135 calories. The beginning of this journey can be so hard, but we are all in this thing together. We got this!! ((HUGS))

I haven't counted my carbs honestly. I think I should but I am a pro at low carb until my willpower gives out and that's why I got the band.

I have to be careful that I don't wash the Protein down too quickly. So I don't drink 30 minutes before or after I eat. This morning I've had a big glass of Water, two cups of coffee and now (after waiting 30 minutes ) I'm nibbling on a Quest Protein Bar. This help me.

If I have my Protein shake in my coffee I sip until noon and then I'm good. If I drink it fast it makes me feel overly full and miserable

I am the same..I've done low carb plans on and off for years, but I need the accountability of tracking what I eat..every single bit is measured and weighed..you may be getting more carbs than you think..and even less Protein than you think.

I totally feel your pain. I went to the doctor yesterday and had only lost 3 pounds the last 4 weeks. I was so disappointed. Got my first fill yesterday also and still have no restriction. I am trying to hang in there.

@@weneebug ugh I'm sorry but I understand. I think I've lost 3 in the last month myself. It stinks but I'm sure once we get to the green we will be good. I just hope it comes sooner than later LOL

@banded_beauty How much have you lost all together? I see you had surgery a day after I did. Don't get me wrong...I am happy with any weight loss but was hoping it would go faster. I have lost 24 lbs to date (including post op).

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
