Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I haven't been around for awhile but, I need some advice and I know this would be the best place to get it. I am getting VERY disgusted and down hearted and need some advice to pick me up again. I had my open RNY on 2/26/03 and have struggled to date to lose 63 pounds. I really thought when I had this surgery all my years of hard core dieting would be over but, I am finding this to be wrong. I started out at 276 lbs and now am 213. Don't get me wrong, I am ever so thankful for what I have lost because I feel GREAT but, one of the reasons I stopped coming in this forum and am about to stop going to my local support meetings is disappointment in myself due to hearing others with less time out having lost way more weight than I. I belive I am doing everything correct-you guys tell me: I am eating <1000 calories a day, 75-100 gms of protein, <25 fat gms, 40-70 carbs,96 ozs or more water, NO sugar, LOW sodium, I work out @ Curves everyday @ lunch, and walk no less than 1 mile or ride a bike for 1-2 miles in the evening.I have bounced around with eating 3 regular meals to 6 tiny meals about 3 hours apart-switching back and forth trying to break plateaus. Believe me, I have STRUGGLED to lose what I have lost so far and I do NOT consider it to have been easy. Now, I am starting to feel hungry now and again-the first time since the surgery. I did go thru a bought of vomiting every time I had a bowel movement and am wondering if I have done some damage internally. Does anyone have some suggestions? I am about at my wits end with this! ANY help will be appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
