Frustrated!



Recommended Posts

:cursing:Okay, my weight loss seems to have come to a screeching halt! I was losing an average of 10-15 lbs per month and now since January, I have barely lost 20 poinds. I will confess I was not exercising at all until I noticed the "stoppage". Now I tone and ride a recumbent bike on a regular basis. I am nowhere near my goal as I still have 150 pounds to lose (lost 75 to date). I have even started increasing my Protein intake to 3 IDS vials a day. I have set a new goal to have lost 100 pounds by the end of May, but it doesn't look like that it is going to happen. My hubby has said once I lose 100 lbs, I can get a corvette, so you see my anticipation!!!!

I don't eat alot still...usually 1-2 small meals a day, plus the protein. Am I just at a lull??

Also, living here in Texas, of course we have some really HOT days. I have noticed recently that I am more "restricted" on hot days now. Has anyone else noticed the same? I sure hope it stays this way, so maybe it will help jump start my weight loss again!!!!

I have had several fills and don't feel the need for one at the moment. I have good restriction, but just frustrated on the scale!!!

Any suggestions??

Is this how much food you have been eating all along. My bet is you are not eating ENOUGH. I know that when I was losing that I had to keep my calories around 1000 calories or the weight would just stop dropping. Post a day or two worth of food and we will see what we can do for you. THis is a great group of people who love to help out. Plus, join us on the exercise challenge group. Now that you are working out you can hang out with a very good motivational group.

      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.
