cautiously going forward
Nov 22, 2011
Lost again...finally. I am so tired of not being able to eat anything and not losing weight. I have been trying to get my protein in, it isn't easy. They say to stop when you are full. I feel full all the time. Sometimes my stomach hurts-or - it's a wierd feeling really. It is hard to tell if it is hunger or pain, sometimes it feels better to get some food in, sometimes not. I just want to go back to normal. Is that possible?
I want to lose, of course. I want to lose and be able to eat at least like I am supposed to. I get a - wouldn';t call it a craving for something, but that's as close as I can get to the word - and sometimes i can eat and sometimes it makes me sick. I want to be able to eat without wondering how it is giong to make me feel. I would like to eat a few bites of something and totally enjoy it and not be sick after.
And yes, it is all about me. Whoever says it isn't is wrong.

slow weight loss
Nov 20, 2011
Still can't help wonder why I am losing so slowly-or why I hit a plateau after only one month. It doesn't make sense to me, considering my excessive size. I don't see how a person as large as I can eat so few calories and NOT lose drastically. For about a week I lost nothing. Now I am losing a pound here and there.
I realize that I will lose weight-but in my mind because it has slowed/stopped-I worry about it. I can't help it, I am a worrier.
Why go through this - a total change in life - losing one of my great loves (food) - to not lose. It needs to hurry up and change so I can feel successful again.

two days
Nov 15, 2011
Two days no weight loss. Day before yesterday started throwing things up. How can you throw up what you eat - hardly having eaten anything at all - and not lose weight?

Pain and sleepy.
Nov 13, 2011
today I have a dull pain in my left abdomen. It isn't all that concerning, but I can't help wonder why it is aching. I am also so sleepy all the time now. I slept Friday away and was still able to sleep Friday night. Yesterday I stayed up, but then today after sleeping all night I went back for a nap after I ate some breakfast.
I imagine eventually all will balance out and I will be happier than I have been in some time, but these past few days-week...has been rough.
I wonder if I will ever enjoy food again. I feel right now like all I do is stuff it in because I have to. And I am not even really able to stuff it in. It seems to take so much effort just to get the 60grms of protein in every day. All I can think about is eating a Schlotzky's sandwich or some mexican food. I tried some nachos yesterday-figured protein in refried beans, protein in cheese, and protein in the chips even! It was good at first. But I just don't enjoy eating much any more. I did not know that was what i was doing to myself when I signed up.

poisoned
Nov 10, 2011
Okay, I am not an ignorant person...I do my research. I looked on line and saw that recommendation of 300-350 milligrams of iron. I am sure I saw that.
However, when looking on a site about bariatric vitamins - one that offers all you need in one pill - the dosage of iron was 30 milligrams. So.
I went back to do some more search about iron and found out it is toxic!
I called my doctor-who wasn't available, then poison control. Poison control told me I was okay this once but not to do it again.
Please people. Do not read about this stuff on line (only). Check it out with your physician before you do something crazy like I did. I was so upset and worried that I might have caused myself irreparable harm.

crush pills?
Nov 09, 2011
Last night I found out that I am iron deficient, despite taking supplements. The dietitian only said "take supplements" not how many milligrams. So.
I read up on it, which I probably should have done. Recommended dosage 300-350 milligrams. The supp I had was only 27 milligrams.
I took 12 of the little pills - before eating. Bad idea. I had the worst pain I have had since doing this. I thought I was going to die. I believe the pills caused a blockage and it was awful. I drank some orange juice to try to help them dissolve. About 45 minutes later-the pain subsided and I went to bed without my dinner protein.
But, I am down again! 42 pounds down. Unbelievable...

the doc
Nov 08, 2011
Yesterday at the doc's was great! She was surprised I had lost weight, and then surprised I was back at work after only two weeks out.
I am down another two pounds today. Got constipated yesterday and it was awful. I haven't been one to have that problem before. My chest - or upper tummy area really - felt tight and a little pain but not really pain. It is hard to describe. I took some prune juice and ate some beans because I haven't been getting any fiber - haven't eaten any veggies. It took care of the problem. So, today I am going to start eating more variety. It is difficult because I don't feel hungry, but I am going to do it.
My face is finally starting to look more like me again!!!

and down
Nov 07, 2011
Two more pounds. I see my regular doctor today and she doesn't know that I had the surgery yet. It will be fun to go in there to get weighed today!
Still highly recommend this to anyone who needs to lose weight.

going down.
Nov 06, 2011
Okay....back to down 2 more pounds. I am good as long as it keeps moving. Some say you should not weigh every day, but being as large as I am and having lost weight as many times as I have I know that I should contnue to lose considering I am only eating 900 calories a day (around).
I know - they are sill probably right! I shouldn't weigh but once a week. Lord knows that water weight is always a factor and now my system is working a little differently than it was before. I apperciate all the adice given!

no loss
Nov 05, 2011
Okay. The first day I haven't lost. I can't help but think that I have done something wrong. I ate some braunschweiger yesterday, which I was craving-for those who don't know what it is it is a high protein high fat meat-and I spread it on crackers. I am not supposed to eat the crackers until next week-no pork either, until two weeks from now.
It went down wonderfully. I had no problem with it at all. I ate one portion-no more....I couldn't if I had wanted to.
I imagine that it may be because of it, but it should not keep me from losing from now on. I understand that. I am a rational person. I just hate that I didn't lose.
