No Progress

I have not lost any weight in the past two months. What is going on??? The only things that I can eat are Starbucks coffee, mashed

potatoes, cheesecake, and icecream.

Uhhh.. Youre kidding, right?

Starbucks coffee, Mashed Potatoes, Cheesecake and Ice Cream..

Take a look at the list of foods you are eating, and ask yourself if they are 1. food that would be beneficial to a weight loss plan, and 2., food that your doctor approved to eat.

I'm not trying to be rude, or snarky, but maybe you should consider some options that are less carb rich, more Protein rich and have fewer calories, combine that with some exercise and I bet you'll see the scales change really quickly!

Good Luck

Sorry, I agree with Angelica

If you can force those things down - you can also get fat free yogurt, low calorie pudding, low cal Soup and crystal light down.

Anyone who ate mashed potatoes, chesscake, and Icecream would either gain or definitely not lose weight.

If you are eating those foods because you feel like you cannot keep down chicken, ground meat, etc. then maybe your band is too tight. when was your last fill/adjustment?

Have you talked to your Dr. about this?

But I don't think you should be surprised that you have not lost any weight recently. all high fat foods????

Thank you for the reality check. I think I have been playing the poor pitifuls in that I can't eat or "pass" good quality food. The icecream goes down so easily...no pain...but not part of a good diet.

[gordita07 0]

Not at all! I am serious however, once I put the foods that I have been eating in writing and in front of my face...what an idiot. The only thing is that these were the foods that did not hurt going down. chicken, Beef, salads, etc. hurt so bad. Any advice???

[faithmd 14]

So you are not having a go at us?

Absolutely, what an awful diet, and not nutritious for you at all.

If you are following the band rules and chewing, chewing, chewing and taking tiny bites and good food still won't go down, then I suggest you see your doc for a slight unfill.

You have to take care of you.

You are awesome. Thank you!

In the meantime, go back to the mushies phase.

Cottage cheese, Lowfat yogurt, puree some canned chicken breast and make a chicken salad. How about refried (fat free) Beans with a little salsa and greek strained yogurt (like Fage) on them, that's very high in Protein and good for you.

Lump crab meat is moist and very flaky.

Avocados, another good thing.

What do you eat? It does not hurt or cause you to vomit?

[gordita07 0]

Can you elaborate more on the critical rules?

[shortgal 5]

Did this inability to eat good foods start within 2 weeks of a fill? Maybe you need a little taken out?

You should be eating Protein first, veggies second and small amounts of carbs, if you have room.

Protein: start on soft Protein, tuna, soft chicken like rotiserrie style, ground turkey made into a burger or meatloaf. Any soft protein that you like. Then add some soft cooked veggies. And see how those things work.

Mentioned above in a post, is yogurt, look for sugar free, non fat, sugar free puddings etc. How about some oatmeal at b'fast or a scrambled egg?

I agree with everyone else - I suggest you go back to your Dr and ask their opinion, maybe an unfill, or see a dietician.
