Stuck On A Plateau



Recommended Posts

Hi

I have been the same weight for a month now. I was banded in July and was doing fine but the carbs and crap started to sneak back in. I have had 2 fills and I'm finding every time I try to eat healthy foods like salads get stuck and so does a lot of Protein eg red and white meat. It kind of disheartens and demotivates me to eat well. I need a kick in the bum or a mini plan to break the junk food/carb cravings which I think are being made worse by severe pmt. has anyone got any menu plans or tips to help steer me back to better food? The worst is both my partner and I have been so lazy with preparing food that dinner often is late and not very healthy. Help me I don't want to ruin all my hard work. If there are any Australian/Melbourne people I would love some face to face peer support.

I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months now. I don't have any trouble eating anything, but I have noticed the carbs creeping back in. It's the holidys, so I guess that means more temptation. All that aside... I am down 30 pounds (I'm a low BMI patient), but my hair was falling out so bad that people were starting to actually notice!! I have noticed that with my plateua has come some new Hair growth and a serious slow down in the Hair loss. I am just going to ride my plateau out for a while. I actually think t has more to do with my body protesting than it does with what I am eating. Long story short.... Just make sure to journal your food. It keeps you honest and helps you know when the problem is you, the band or your body! Hang in there. You will get there!

      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!!
