Not hungry and not losing



Recommended Posts

1st 2 1/2 weeks post op I lost 26lbs! Crazy right!? Got my 1st fill of 2.4 cc on 11/1. I don't eat more the 4 to 6 ozs at a time. I don't get hungry between meals. I'm eating a fraction of my pre-band diet but I haven't lost a pound in weeks. I have added more carbs with yogurt and cottage cheese, is this the reason for no lose? I thought I would have more weight lose initially. Is this my 1st plateau 4 weeks out? :faint:

I would keep a food diary and work out how many calories you are actually consuming. If you're having enough maybe you need to add exercise. If you are following the rules and you're not putting on weight I wouldn't worry. Sometimes the body is stubborn and tries to hold onto the weight but it has to let go sometime!

Good luck!!

I haven't had a fill yet, but I would wonder about the carbs. My doctor says you should eat Protein first and then eat vegies and fruits, and that you should always watch your carbs. A lot of his patients try to stick to the sugar busters diet and they are quite successful. I'm also trying to follow these suggestions. Hope you get back of track. Good luck!

I initially had a big loss too and then stalled for a few weeks. Once I started increasing Protein I was full longer so I didn't have a need so much for carbs. And the big thing for me was started an exercise program- that really got my weight loss going again. Are you exercising? I think our bodies also have to adjust for a while when we drop weight all of the sudden so fast, so it tries to hold on to calories for a bit. But is all evened out for me after a few weeks and I started to see the pounds drop again.

      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.
