Today is a day I wish I had had, RNY!!!

I haven't seen the scale budge in 1 1/2 week, almost 2.

I am drinking my protien........ISOPURE

Granted I don't get to work out much, but I am on my feet most of the day 4 days a week.

I texted DH and I am busting out the Wii fit tonight.

I only ate meet yesterday off a gyro with some lettuce and Tomato. I had I think 6 mini meatballs and cheese and tomato sause. Took Tika out for a small jog ( its been raining and she won't potty with out a walk on those days)

And that is all I ate yesterday. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong. I have to have a cup of coffee in the AM. I can't eat in the am cause I am so tight. So I have a EAS shake, and wait till lunch to eat anything, sometimes I am still tight I can't eat and it comes back up.

Please any insite would help.

I am right now about 223. I am not changing my ticker. I have been as low as 221. I don't need a fill. I just want to cry~ Plus I have 9cc in my 9cc realize band!

Thanks

Keri

you have done a great job going from 280 to 220's. that is significant. my surgeon told me that some people actually need to be banded and then a year or so later they need gastric bypass. he said it's kind of a two step process for some people to get down to a normal weight. but, keep up the good work.

ps- I usually have coffee in am too. That's ok. I even use % milk & 1 sugar.

If I don't have a cup.......... I don't poo.....:lunch:

SO I need it, not to keep me awake, but to help move things.

Keri,

This thread got a little OFF TOPIC! You were banded a couple of weeks after me. I got stuck for over a month before the scales finally started moving again THIS WEEK! Go over to www.livestrong.com/dailyplate and log every bite you take. Also log your Water intake. You'll be amazed at what you see. Make sure you're eating the right amount...not too much, but also not too little. And, vary your calorie intake up and down every few days...keeps your metabolism confused.

You say you don't get to work out much. You'll have to find a way to incorporate physical activity into your day even if it's not a structured workout. Do the best you can, then don't worry about the rest.

The weight will eventually come off, just not as fast as you'd like. You can do this!

Thanks everyone.... you all have renewed my faith in this system. I know that it takes time!!

this is why I love coming to this forum........I can't ask my non WLS friends, they just don't know.

I am going to start tracking my food again, and make sure I am drinking enough h2O

God Bless all!

Keri

PS keep the tips coming

      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.

      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.
