h I hear ya! I have only lost 16 pounds since my surgery on December 18th. I am very frustrated. I am working on increasing my Water and Protein to see if this kickstarts things. I had an unrealistic expectation of losing 30 pounds in one week. LOL
I have pinpointed an issue I have at one month out. I eat and drink too fast. I am not sure how to make myself slow down. I am tempted to set a timer on my phone. LOL
I am one month out and get about 400--500 calories a day. I am not losing either. I see my surgeon on Tuesday for my one month follow up. I was never told how many calories to aim for a day. Ii was told to aim for 60 grams of Protein, that is it. Well, that could be 2 Protein shakes and that is only 320 calories.
Thank you all! I was pretty down when I posted this. Your feedback, has helped put things back in perspective for me.
My husband made a great point yesterday. That I thought his surgery was going to be a slam dunk and easy peasy. Well it isn't. It is still going to take time and effort on my part in order to succeed.
Thank you! This really calmed my nerves about this whole thing. I will look at my carbs. I don't think I am ingesting many. I'm on my fitness pal and review my food journal.
I feel like a broken record complaining. So, here goes. I had RNY on 12/18/14. I have only lost 13.2 pounds in three weeks. I get either right close to 60 grams of Protein a day or a little over it. My calories is 400-600. Generally in the low 500s a day for calories.
I am sad and frustrated. I see others (I know we aren't suppose to compare...but it is so hard not to) who have lost 25-30 pounds or more in the same time frame.
Right now I am 5 ft 4 and 212 even....
Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? I am freezing and irritable most of the time.
