Feeling lost
on 11/8/09 1:34 pm
If anyone can help me that would be great...I am feeling lost and nervous that i am not on the right track. I had wls 22 days ago and i didnt lose a pound this week. I am nervous im eating too much or not doing something right. I am making sure i am havingenough protein and water. I feel like i shouldnt be drinking as much or eating as much as i can but i have had no symptoms of dumping after eating. I am able to eat two scrambled eggs at a time ( i make it with water so its not as thick). I am able to eat 5-7 low salt crackers at a time. I just feel like i am eating a lot more than wheni was on a liquid diet the first 2 weeks. But i know i am SIGNIFICANTLY eating a lot LESS than i use too. Am i crazy?
I meet with the nutritionist on tues and i will talk to her about that. But i dont want to stretch my pouch or anything like that. I have waited my entire life for this change and i dont want to screw it up early on. I could just be crazy but i just would love some guidance from someone who is farther along in wls than i am to direct me!
Thanks for the guidance and support in advance!
u have to understand that its ok to eat!!!!!. we need food to survive, remeber that u can barely eat. and the food that u eat u absorv like less than half of it. so please don`t stop eating and taking ur vitamins, watter and protein. if you think ur eating to much. messure ur food acoording of what u supose to eat at the stage you are now. and don`t take like 2 hrs to eat. eat what u can 20 mints no more and stop if u feel full, don`t forse ur self to eat. or don`t for uself to not eat... lisen to your body ur gonna learn to do that.
and if u feel that somethings is not right. call ur nutritionist or ur surgeron. they are there to help u out with any concern u may have.
and enjoy ur journey!!!!! is gonna be an awesome ride.
good luck!!!
hugs.

You are perfectly fine :-) just focus on the guidelines and keep working on your eating and what not and you will be fine.
As for the weightloss it will come in time, there will be days/weeks you wont lose and that is perfectly normal.
