6 months out and completely lost



Recommended Posts

So here's my issue. I had surgery on 10/24 my weight at surgery was 259 lbs. I have gone thru stricture issues and multiple hospital stays. Now I'm coming up on my 6 month check in and weigh 213. At one point I got down to 208 lbs but since then no movement down just up. I go to the gym most days and try to eat right with the little I do eat. Especially since I still get sick most of the time and have started to experience dumping almost weekly. My drs appt in on the 25th and I'm going into this as a total failure. I'm doing a reset as of tomorrow hoping it helps but at this point I'm just so disappointed in myself and discouraged. I weigh myself 3-4 times a day which is also bad. I just want to get to my GW of 175 but I feel like I will never get there. What am I doing to myself. So depressed.

It's natural to have stalls and for weeks at a time. You should still be tracking food and calories. Look at that and see the change there. I'm 2 1/2 years out and only get an average of 1100 calories per day and 80 grams of Protein. My weight goes up and down from day to day because the amount of Water I drink. Yes u will get there just stay strong. As for dumping, the bad food make this happen so you might want to rethink what you are eating.

Weigh yourself same time same day weekly not daily. If you're dumping you're eating too much sugar. Go back to basics, Protein first 3 meals, w healthy protein based Snacks, no fluids with meals, exercise daily. It will come off... good luck and try not to obsess about the weight. Think about the health benefits and positive gains you're making.

      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.
