I Can't Shake this Weight!!

I am going through some serious depression right now. No matter what I do, I can't get this weight down. I had my surgery on June 28th and my first fill on August 5th. I have a 14cc band (the biggest band) but was only given 4.5cc's.

 

I work out three times a week (high impact aerobics), I measure what I eat and keep up with my calories by using this calorie counter website. I haven't lost a pound, infact I am were I am right after my 10 day fast. I don't know what to do at this moment; I spoke to my nutritionist about the problems which I stated in my last post but nothing is working.

 

My next fill is the first week in September and hopefully my doc will give me half of the total intake of the fill (7cc's)...Maybe I can lose the weight.:wub:

What a frustration, I am sorry. But keep the faith and keep in contact with your nutritionist. I hope the next fill really does what you need. Try to not get discouraged, although it is understandable. Remember, this is just a short phase on the long journey . . .**hugs**

Are you eating enough calories? I talked to the nutritionist yesterday who told me that if I work out more than twice a week high impact (45 minutes of cardio or more) I should have a small 150-200 cal snack like a protein bar or cottage cheese and fruit. A lot of people responded the same thing to my blog the other day -- 1000-1200 cals/day or your body will be in starvation mode.

Hugs! It will get better. It will because we will make it get better!

Sandra is right. I spoke with my nutritionist yesterday and she confirmed. I haven't lost anything for almost 2 weeks! She said that your body needs calories for your metabolism to function. I upped my calories yesterday and am looking forward to the pounds going down!

Don't get discouraged! Keep doing all the right things and it will pay off!!!!!
