Im Stuck, I Think



Recommended Posts

For the past week my wt has bounced from 258.6 to 256.8 no matter what I do. I want to eat fruit. It seems so counterintuitive not to. I'm "beginning" to doubt the doc....agggh also my fitness pal puts me over the top for fats. Grump. Want blueberries...strawberries apples help!

Seeing nut next month. Can't wait.

Is this pre-op diet? What are you being told to eat?

12/5 was my surgery and I ve been on Protein and veggies only since then. I do get nuts but only because I asked. I get chili, too, again only because I asked. When I reasonably suggested that the sturgeon (sic) give me a ratio of fats/proteins/carbs because he cannot list all the foods I may or may not eat ("you are cleared to eat everything") he refused and says that people who question him and start looking for diet guidance elsewhere are not successful. He did say no liquid with calories, 64 g protein/day. N0 fruit no chewing gum no going back to Ensure. He doesn't like nutritionists, he said he doesn't trust them. I'm down @52 # and the scale don't move. I work out 6 days a week...3 with personal trainer. 4in gym and 2 in pool. Walk the doggie at least once a day....I'm frequently hungry @ 20 minutes after I eat. This ain't normal and I don't like it. And yes, I drink @ 64 oz/day.

Scheduled a nut visit mid march. Sigh

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like a stall. The more you lose the longer the stall and you lost 52 ( good work ). I would go to a nut. I don't think it hurts to get more than one opion. I was told to lose weight I should stay on Protein, no carbs Best wishes.

I don't eat fruit, but I have juice ( no sugar added ) to curb that sweet tooth. I don't have more than 3 0z a day.....when needed and not every day. It's hard to get away from old habits and fruit is a simple joy, it's just one I am willing to give up short term to get to my goal. I miss asian pears and I will have (part of ) one when I get to goal. I have not bit into a fruit since my pre op diet. Best wishes

Six weeks out - Stall lasted 12 days - yesterday got on the scale and dropped 3 pounds; and put on a pair of pants I haven't worn in four years.

So, I vowed to weigh in once a week and take the scale with a grain of salt for a while.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
