Dr. Wade Barker - hope i am doing the right things only 23 lb since i was banded



Recommended Posts

Am I doing the right things I need some support . I don't see a big difference since I got the band on 4/18. I walk and have cut my portion sizes . All I know is that I get food stuck from time to time and have to wash it down with something . What should I do then? Should I stop eating ? Anyone losing 50 or more lbs have to be doing what is required of them . I just think that I am never going to lose this weight. I am currently at 282 for 305 when I was weighed . It is hard for me to let the carbs completly go. In the past I was only a carb eater. I am 36 years old and just had a son in 2010. I need to get this weight off of me I am so disappointed about it. Please someone talk to me I need encouragement.

Thanks

I was banded 4/4/11. You need to pull away from those carbs, I have not had bread in any form since my per -op liquid diet. I started out at 304 and am now 197, I go to curves 5 days and week and walk or ride 6 days a week. I do count my calories and really push my Protein. You can do it, you may just be a slow loser and there is nothing wrong with that.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
