So frustrated!



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who isn't losing weight? I haven't lost in almost a year! I lost about twenty-five before the surgery and about fifteen after. I have been out a year August 27. I had knee surgery on July 2014 and will have my second knee done on October 29th! I hopefully will be able to finally exercise now! I am using my portable bike now and doing therapy which has helped. Thanks for your feedback!!

You speak nothing about your band, how many fills, has it effected your eating/appetite...

I know for me, I was fat because I could not control my eating....I ate waaaayyy too much. So I had surgery to fix all that, which it did....why else would I go through all this???

I'm old school....I believe less calories, more weight lost......

My surgeon says that exercise accounts for only about 10% of wt loss, the rest is food.< /p>

If we are not in the green zone we are just on a diet -- and we know how well that works! Time to meet with the surgeon to assess for a fill. I am a person who thought at first I wouldn't need a fill (did not have hunger post-surgery for a few weeks) then I've have had seven or more to find my "sweet spot." It's a moving target -- got to work with it.

I have had multiple fills to reach my sweet spot so hopefully this will help you. Make sure you are really measuring all of portions. For me, I found that I overfill my plate unless I use measuring tools.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
