Feeling discouraged

Struggling with the diet, I can't seem to eat enough protein, I don't drink enough liquids, and I don't take my Vitamins like I should. I snack and lot, but never seem to want to eat protein. I'm 3 months out, have lost 65 pounds. Hit a stall, feeling miserable. I need advice.

Stalls are inevitable. Hang in there. To get my liquids and my Protein in I'll drink 1 to 2 premier Protein shakes a day. U can get them at costco and Walmart. Each shake has 30g of protein and its 11oz of liquid. Crystal light has also helped me get in more liquids when I'm just not feeling like plain Water. To keep motivated use one of those apps on your phone that lets you put your before and after pics side by side. That way u can see how far Uve come. 65 lbs is a lot to be proud of!! Keep it up! I know u can do it!!

Are you becoming depressed. Sometimes with depression you feel like you don't have the motivation to do even little things like take your meds or eat. It could be seasonal. If you can't seem to kick it though talk to your doctor.

I have my vitamins on top of my dresser at eye level in the morning.

This is my advice:

Get your Protein in

Get your fluids in

Take all your Vitamins

You know what you are doing wrong. Only you can change it. Best of luck.

What are the best vitamins to take? I had my surgery in Aug 2016. I've not been taking my vitamins because I wasn't sure what to take. I've tried kids gummies and some GNC stuff but couldn't take them. Any suggestions?

You need to see your nutritionist and attend some support groups. It seems like some thing is very wrong.

Shicks, you need after care. With your surgeon's office or your family doctor can order bloodwork that checks for vitamin levels. That bloodwork will show what you are low in and what you need to supplement with.

Talk to a doc!

I think I've been really depressed lately, and it's been affecting my progress. I did manage to talk to my doctor today, they gave me advice on taking the vitamins. Now using a reminder app for my pills. Also made appointment with my therapist for Monday, and Thursday I see my surgeon in KC. Waiting for a call from my psychiatrist for an appointment with him. My dad has had the sleeve, we're going to start going to a support group next month. Thanks for the advice and support, I just needed to reach out.

I have the same issues. I hardly eat at all, drink very little, take in no protein and no vitamins. I do have several medical issues going on but I would definitely keep in contact with your nutritionist. There is also a new yogurt out packed full of protein. Best of Luck.
