Uh!

So i got a new fill on Thursday with fluoroscopy

i got 1 cc but ended up regurgitating water so .25 was taken out.

I was supposed to do two days liquid 2 days soft foods

but have barely been able to drink enough liquids to stay hydrated.

I've had a headache for 2 days now.

I'm calling early tomorrow morning, hoping for a same day appointment for an unfill.

 

I've been re-watching Ruby episodes on Netflix to inspire me to keep at it and not give up,

but in reality its been about 6.5 months since my surgery and i'm 4 pounds down.

Total is 35pounds down since my heaviest, but still, 4 pounds!

 

I exercise, i eat a low cal - low fat semi-organic diet ,

I've been working on my garden over the last few years to grow some of my own fruits, veggies and herbs

and Still BUMPKINS!

 

I'm so discouraged!

I really wanted to be a size 16 by my birthday ( 4-14)

But i'm still hovering at a size 20.

 

I don't know what else i can do.

My Dr. is talking about waiting another 6 months before considering a revision surgery.

I Don't even know if that's something that i want to consider.

I'm so embarrassed

FML.

honestly i watch nothing but calories (not fat, carbs, sugar, sodium, or even exercise). It's all calories in calories out for me and that is what works for me. My surgeon has me on 800 per day. I stick to that about 85% of the time - with some days less some days more. i've lost 115 in 9 months. Have you examined just plain old calories each day? May be worth a discussion with surgeon/nutritionist. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!

I do watch my calories, i use the Lose It app on my phone and nook to keep track of all my foods in ( fats, calories, protein, fat, etc)

I've been around 1350 a day but my general doctor says 1800, my surgeon says 1500, but since my last fill I've been averaging

about 150/day.

Mostly tea, some juice when my blood sugar gets low.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
