trying my hardest..



Recommended Posts

It sounds like you should:

1. Increase your Protein intake (80 grams a day for 7 days is my magic spell to break plateaus).

2. Make sure you're taking your Vitamins and supplements.

3. Drink more Water.

4. Maybe get a fill.

5. Eat crunchy vegetables (whatever you can tolerate).

6. Read.

7. Practice deep breathing.

8. Meditate.

Any combination of these can help a lot.

Most people snack at night you have to find something to do. A fill will not necessarily help your weight loss. Most evening hunger is head hunger and you need to get through that. If you are only hungry at night then you don't need a fill you need to eat more filling Proteins at dinner.

I am happy to hear this too I don't go in for another fill until April and I cannot shake any more weight. I have been walking about 4-5 times per week but I know I need to increase my Protein. That changes today. Thanks!

My hunger is in the evening too. I factor on an evening snack....usually a Greek lite and fit yogurt. I drink lots of Water in the evening so most of the times I don't need the snack

Sandy, do you find that drinking all that Water in the evening interrupts your sleep? Sometimes I'll have a big cup of herb tea, and I getup to pee about 3 times during the night. So annoying.....

Once or twice, I have to get up. Always did before anyway, guess I just thought it was part of getting old????

And, tea is worse than water.

A table spoon of Peanut Butter (or teaspoon if a tablespoon is too much) always does the trick for me or a cheese stick. Both really coat your stomach. If you slowly get it off your spoon you will really get full. I like doing this rather ro drinking a shake or eating yogurt. I feel full and I got the Protein that I need.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
