Stopped Losing Weight



Recommended Posts

I have stopped losing weight for the last 5 weeks. I had my surgery in October and have lost 35 lbs. My goal is to lose 70 total. I am having trouble eating a lot of foods - especially chicken and eggs. I had to have some of my last fill taken out. I don't seem to be satisfied after eating 1/2 cup of food and when I eat, I get a pain in the pit of my stomach. I also throw up a lot.

Any suggetions?

Sounds like you're still too tight. I eat a cup of food, if not more, at a time; 1/2 cup isn't a magical amount or anything.

It sounds like you may be too tight if you are throwing up a lot. I agree with reverie in saying 1/2 cup isn't the magical amount. I can eat more then a 1/2 cup some days and sometimes I can just eat a very small amount. It can vary from day to day, but I'm still losing weight. You just have to make better food choices and talk to your doctor about all of it. That's what they are there for.

It is amazing we are almost exactly at the same point. I had my surgery on October 18. I have lost about 25 pounds since my surgery. I know my problem is I'm unable to quit snacking. I was told to bump up the intensity of my exercise with weights and re-examine my eating habits. I did better today. I unfortunately don't have problems with eating - I am tending to eat too much, then expeirence pain. Are you able to eat tuna (some suggest adding low fat mayo, but I just eat it plain - 80 calories for 2 ozs). Other foods are talipia, Beans, low fat cheese, lean brisket, or lentils.

Hey.... I know how you feel... I had my surgery sept. 13 since then I have lost 43 pound and the last month I have not lost anything... but it was because my band was not tight enough and I started eating what I wanted instead of what I was suppose to... So I went thursday got my band adjusted and went grocery shopping and now I am going to do better.... As far as the eggs... I don't do good with them unless they are just boiled eggs... chicken well I just have to cut it up better and chew a lot more... I hope this helps...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
