Frustrated at weight loss!!



Recommended Posts

Hiya evberyone, hope you are doing well. I ahve been doing great so far and lost a lot of weight since the op but I have come to a standstill and don't know what to do. The problem is that I feel I have pretty good restriction and I would be nervous of having another fill incase I became too tight, is this just my body trying to catch up??

Any suggestions appreciated

Happy new year!!

I'm in the same boat but I don't have much restriction. I have been combatting it by going for long walks every day. I really want to get more off so I am going to push for an earlier fill if I can.

Bella seems to be doing a great job. I think what they say about hitting a plateau is to change things. Exercise more or journal what you are eating to make sure extra calories aren't slipping in and increase the Water you drink. One of my friends told me to change the foods I was eating and that seemed to help.

I know that I get into ruts with my menu sometimes because I think of eating as a requirement, not something that I enjoy anymore, so I just try to make it as easy as possible. For instance, I buy a box of Cereal. I portion it out into plastic cups with covers and throw them in my bag for work. I will eat one of them each day at work. So, though convenient, I get into these ruts of eating the same things each day.

Good luck getting past your plateau.

Yep what Sue said :D

You need to change up your diet just abit. Make sure you are eating solid Protein first. I quit doing this for awhile and quit losing as well.

Change around your exercize routine to shake your body up :woot: I got to almost 50# loss and stalled there for 2 weeks. Once I re-checked my food habits I started losing again.

I have found with me, if I up (yes, I said UP) my calories a bit, then cut them again, my body is "shocked" and the weight loss starts again.

I am also at a standstill and i am about ready to scream

I am almost 7 months out and I hit the 75lb lost at 6 months and i have not lost anything for almost a month. (I have actually gained)

My dietian from my office said my body was in starvation mode because I was only getting in 500-600 cal per day she said I have to up it to 1000- 1200 per day and itr will take around 2 weeks for my body to start losing again

It better come off fast

I forse myself to eat I think I may be a bit to tight so I made up my mind if I do not start losing gain by the end of this month I am going in to see my surgan again to see what is wrong with me. (besides being fat)

Good luck I know exactly how you feel

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
