Has anyone else stopped losing weight?



Recommended Posts

Mine has even edged up a couple pounds I am trying to step up exercise and keeping my calories to 1000. Not going to stress to much though I have kept 10 lbs off and I expected with the diet change to stall. I am also a bit bloated right now which could be adding as much as 5lbs.

Does anyone know if you become dependent on milk of magnesia? The stuff tastes gross but I'm about to take a swig to relieve things a bit.

I was banded exactly two weeks ago and I'm well and truly entering 'Bandster Hell'!

I've continued to drop weight this week (only 2 pounds) but even that's taken an hour of walking per day and having to be really strict about sticking to a liquid diet. I'm constantly hungry and my tummy growls all day long.

Still, I've bounced back from surgery and have no discomfort whatsoever, so I guess things aren't ALL bad!

I'm either maintaining or losing slowly, but I'm trying to pay a lot of attention to what I'm eating now that I'm onto soft foods. I've also been going to the gym as much as possible, today will make 4 times this week. Working out makes me feel like I'm doing something good for myself, and I can tell I'm getting stronger. Now I can't wait to bring in the weight lifting so I can build muscle to burn even more fat!

WOOHOO!

Oh and the moron receptionist at my surgeon's office scheduled my fill for 6 weeks out even though my doc said 4 is ok. :unsure: But I feel ok going for a couple more weeks, I'm doing ok with portions/food quality and I enjoy taking big gulps - not for long!

      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! 😞
