Source: Not enough calories?

This is me to the "t"..... Cannot seem to get the weight off. I lose a week .... Stall for three weeks.... The lose a week..... Stall for three. I think it is because I am not getting enough calories as well. I am exercising but maybe need to step up the frequency. I am really frustrated......HELP! Anyone with suggestions? I am a big girl so I should be losing faster.

Has anyone chosen to buy a sleeve or ace wrap to bind your tummy after surgery? I am 3 days post op and I am finding my incisions painful and my belly jiggles a bit.

Amen to that. I am 3days post op....does the incisions sites get less sore? I cant get up or bend without pain right now.

I' m right there with you.

My surgery was on the 15th at approx. 12 pm. Went home at 9 pm on the 16th. I could not get comfortable in bed last night ....arm was hanging off the side and woke up at 5 am with a my arm full of fluid from hanging off the bed lol. This first day hasn't been so bad but trying to get in my protein and fluids. I tried Isopure drink with40 grams of protein but it tastes sooooooo bad. Even with holding my nose. Do not buy this.....I had grape. Hey maybe the other flavor s are better but geezzzz. Jus say in'. I am now trying Nectar cappiciano. It is way better but a little on the sweet side.

I am getting my sleeve tomorrow April 15th. I am a little nervous....but I guess that is to be expected. Wish me luck!

The best of luck to you!

Please tell me that the Optifast diet gets easier! this morning I was throwing up and had a migraine. I was able to rally and get to work but this stuff taste nasty. Anyone have tricks for making the shakes go down better? Does it get easier? My surgery is on the 15th....and I'm nervous ...I won't be able to handle it.

My surgery date is April 15th as well!......ha ha what is up with all the tax day sleeving lol! Good luck all!

Thank you for your comments. It has been a little better today but really cranky cooking for my family and not being able to eat. I will try the syrups and call them to change proteins if I need to. Gosh I can't believe you did Optifast for a year! Did you lose a lot of weight?

Good luck with your surgery. I am having mine on the 15th. I heard.... The brand Unjury is pretty good with unflavored as well as a chicken soup version.
