FREAKING FRUSTRATED



Recommended Posts

So I'm 5 months post.. at 32lbs lost.. 20 of those occured during the 2 week pre diet and 2 week post diet.. and 10 dropped last month.. so for 3 months I lost 2 lbs.. and now these past 3 weeks again.. I've lost nothing.. I"m at 6cc on a large band.. I feel that I can't eat very much.. especially in the am.. I eat often.. rarely eat carbs.. and work out approx 5 times a week. Should I get another fill?? I feel that this process should be going a bit better for me... with the amount of effort I put it.. or is it normal to stay the same a bit and then drop?? I do NOT want to fill to the point that I'm ill or always hungry! But I'm ready to hit that 50lb mark at to keep going!! I really thought I'd be there by now :(

The question to ask yourself is: Can you go at least 4 hours on a cup of food without hunger? If no, then you might need a fill. If yes, you likely don't need one.

At any rate, you should have a talk with your doctor and let him help you decide whether you need a fill or not.

As far as losing, do you track your calories? If not, I would. It's the easiest way to be certain you're not accidentally eating too little or too much.

Best wishes.

Chill out! I only lost 12 lbs the first 4 months. 2-4 week plateaus happen to all of us.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
