Hi y'all.. This is a VERY long post, so sorry.. and I'm a little leary about asking another question like this since I was offended by a poster in the last question I asked... but anyway, I need to know something. How is it that someone like myself, who is 21 years old, 1 year post-op, and does everything the right way can't lose anymore?? I started at 338 lbs. and now I'm about 195, but I haven't lost in four months. Not even inches. NOTHING! I am down to three meals a day, I have about 80-100 ounces of water per day. I don't eat chips, I don't eat bread, I don't eat any candy or ice cream or anything. Not even sugar-free. I stop drinking water and start drinking again 30 minutes before and after eating. I take small bites and chew, chew, chew. I stop eating after 20 minutes. I have gone from having one protein drink for breakfast and lunch and maybe a small filet of fish for dinner. I sometimes have vegetables but normally stick to protein. I've tried cutting out the protein drinks and having some cottage cheese in the morning, some turkey slices for lunch and chicken or seafood for dinner. What the heck am I doing wrong here?? Nothing in four months! I've heard of trying to "jumpstart" your weight loss by adding in more carbs than normal for a day and then going back to your diet, and I've tried it. I had a few strawberries and pineapple slices a couple of weeks ago, then went back on my diet. A week later I was 5 lbs. heavier! I walk/jog for an hour a day and then do pilates half an hour.. nothing is changing. HELP!!
