What am I doing wrong?



Recommended Posts

I got my fifth fill on November 17, and I have been at good restriction(I think). I cannot eat too much and I can only drink Protein Drinks in the morning, then I am fine to eat something around lunch time. My problem is this: I have ate very little since my last fill and I slime everytime I overeat. No problem. I can live with this right now. I usually feel like something is stuck in my throat then everything comes back up. How come I am not loosing any weight? I am exercising and walking daily. I go back to my doctor on December 29th and I know that I an doing what I am supposed to. So, why am I not loosing weight? I weighted today and I had gained two pounds. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I try to drink a lot of Water, but I cannot keep it down either. Am I too tight? Any advise would be appreciated.:cursing:

I was almost the same, not quite as tight as you describe (no pbing but a bit of sliming) but I figured if I wasnt even losing any weight for my discomfort, why live with it? I had some out, could eat huge amounts, regained 4 lb and have worked my way back to the same restriction again which is nowhere NEAR as tight this time.

I put up with it for about a month, there's really little to be gained by being too tight.

      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.
