Stalls and stress! Advice?



Recommended Posts

So I feel like lately Ive been struggling. I Had a stall for awhile but now the past wk Ivebeen eating worse an I know its slowk ng me down. Today I had 3 graham crackers and then for lunch I had a taco just beef,meat and cheese with half the shell off and then most of a fruit cup. Then I had a chicken leg with 1/2 a slice bread and butter and a few bites of potato. For a snack will be milk but anyway I just started losing again and then I mess it up! I feel over whelmed lately and don't know what to do. Im worried with myself mentally and physically :/Stallone struggling advice? Btw not 3 whole grahams like the 1/2s and I have had 6 cups of liquid but I know I'm lacking Protein a lot lately. Which scares me the most

Stop eating carbs.....period. graham crackers (even one bite), bread, taco shells, and potatoes shouldn't even be on your menu until you are passed goal. The fruit is a better choice but only after you've already gotten in all your Protein. More Protein. More fluids. It's a very simple recipe for success. You will feel full sooner and longer with protein.

If you are having a hard time knowing what the right kinds of food are, seek the help of your nut. If you know what the right choices are but are struggling to make them, seek the help of a therapist or counselor. your surgeon "fixed" your stomach. But you wouldn't be the first person who needs help fixing their head, too. And unfortunately that is the harder of the two.

Slow down, take a breath, and take care of yourself.

Do you have a therapist? Have you attended any support groups?

I find that exercise is a good stress reliever. So is getting a massage.

      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! 😞
