Started Mushies and stopped losing weight! help!



Recommended Posts

Are you keeping a record of what you are eating (writing it down) and recording the calories to know how much you are really eating. I have been keeping under 1000 calories and have lost 10 lbs since the band was installed. It has not been the easiest but I really want this to work. commitment

Sorry if that sound rough, its not meant to be....

No, that's not rough, that's the complete truth! I've been using sparkpeople.com to track my food everyday and I've been getting in an average of about 950 cals per day. Some days I can only get in about 700 and other days it'll be about 1000, it just depends on the day and how I'm feeling.

I use sparkpeople too, its the best calorie counter and you can set your own limits for carbs and Proteins too. also a good way to keep track of what your drinking and exercise.. i like to look over the week and see what days were better, and what food choices work the best.

I just started mushies three days ago, and haven't lost any weight. My dr. was not really clear on the calories I should intake each day during this phase. I've been eating three small meals with approx. 200 calories each. Does this sound right? Please give me any info you have:redface:

THANK YOU!

I have been staying under 1000 calories since the two weeks of liquids at pre-op. I just figured that I wuold loose weight at that limit but I have really been counting carbs and with that I only have to count to about 20-25. Realize-my-success web-site has been doing the calories and the carbs. If you have a realize band, your Dr. numbers, and your bands numbers you can log into Realizemysuccess.com and your Dr as well as his staff can check your progress securely.

      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.
