Has anyone else stopped losing weight?



Recommended Posts

Mine has even edged up a couple pounds I am trying to step up exercise and keeping my calories to 1000. Not going to stress to much though I have kept 10 lbs off and I expected with the diet change to stall. I am also a bit bloated right now which could be adding as much as 5lbs.

Does anyone know if you become dependent on milk of magnesia? The stuff tastes gross but I'm about to take a swig to relieve things a bit.

I was banded exactly two weeks ago and I'm well and truly entering 'Bandster Hell'!

I've continued to drop weight this week (only 2 pounds) but even that's taken an hour of walking per day and having to be really strict about sticking to a liquid diet. I'm constantly hungry and my tummy growls all day long.

Still, I've bounced back from surgery and have no discomfort whatsoever, so I guess things aren't ALL bad!

I'm either maintaining or losing slowly, but I'm trying to pay a lot of attention to what I'm eating now that I'm onto soft foods. I've also been going to the gym as much as possible, today will make 4 times this week. Working out makes me feel like I'm doing something good for myself, and I can tell I'm getting stronger. Now I can't wait to bring in the weight lifting so I can build muscle to burn even more fat!

WOOHOO!

Oh and the moron receptionist at my surgeon's office scheduled my fill for 6 weeks out even though my doc said 4 is ok. :unsure: But I feel ok going for a couple more weeks, I'm doing ok with portions/food quality and I enjoy taking big gulps - not for long!

      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.
