Can't eat much but no weight loss...

alice · July 5, 2005

I have lost 19lbs since January (surgery).

I been the same weight for three months.

I can't eat much. Breakfast- 3/4c oatmeal lunch 8 chicken nuggets from chic fillet dinner 3 oz steak and salad... I do like to have ice cream and eat a couple per day, but my overall calorie intake is not too much.

My band gets tight sometimes too.

My problem is I think I need to eat more. How can I work out and eat just a little?

Do you think I need a fill or what?

It does not sound like you're eating too little to me. 8 chicken nuggets? WOW...

Are you logging your food into www.fitday.com to see exactly how many calories and where your Protein vs carbs lie?? It might be a good thing to try it just to see. You may be like me and ANY carbs/refined sugars/starches you eat stick with you. If I'm sticking with proteins/veggies, I do well with weight loss, if I add the refined sugars/starches (chips, ice cream, etc) I lose NOTHING.

Chick-fil-a nuggets are very small, and actually really just breast meat, not preformed whatever like the regular nuggets at most places. 8 of them would probably equal 3 regular size nuggets, so that isn't too bad. But the caramel frappes, and the soft serve is not good for the diet. Maybe limit yourself to one caramel frappe a week and one soft serve cone a week instead of every day. I like drinking fruit 2 0....it tastes great, gets that good Water in, and is slightly sweet.
