Recommended Posts

Evening all. I could do with some help. I've reached restriction and I'm struggling to eat sensibly. Most days I have snack a jack rice cakes, salad, hot choc/tea sometimes muller rice. I'm finding a lot of food just won't go down. Am I going to lose weight eating this little? I don't really feel hungry ever, I also don't drink any Water other then in tea. The scale hasn't moved for 3 weeks even though I can see my body changing. It's surprising to see how much my wedding dress has been bought in from fitting to fitting! Final fitting done now. Getting married next week! I really wanted to loose another 10 lbs to put me at 18st but I just can't shift it. I'm 12 weeks banded. Help! Dress photos show 3 weeks ago and yesterday! Xx

I'm no expert, but when I read that you can only get just a few different types of food down, I read this as having a little too much restriction. You should still be able to eat most of your Proteins, like eggs, chicken, Beans, fish. Too few calories can cause people to plateau. I don't know, this was just a thought !

You need Protein darling. Otherwise you are starving yourself. Talk to your doctor. You don't want to be sick so close to the wedding.

Quantity doesn't matter to us, quality does and from the list you've described you should have any of this stuff at this stage of the game anyway. What about your Protein? Rice (carbs), rice cakes (carbs), salad (no nutritional value alone, lettuce leaves) all can swell and or go down too large to pass through. Rapid weight loss won't hurt you, but if you aren't getting the proper nutrition your body will eventually respond in kind. You can expect to feel weak, suffer from hair loss, brittle nails, poor skin quality and the elasticity in your skin will also suffer. Until you can adopt better food choices, you should show diligence in taking your Vitamins and supplements.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
