Vets! Looking for advice I am 11 months out



Recommended Posts

I know I have read on here that surgery can change your metabolism , and there's people out there that can gain weight anything over 1200 calories , I am partially terrified I may have slowed down my metabolism and then another part of me , thinks I need to be more strict,

I am 11 months out, and currently average 1100-1400 calories per day, Protein 80 most days - should I be at 100gram of protein?

Exercise: to be honest - just restarted now after six months lull that I have time - old job I easily walked 10,000 in a 12 shift , and up to 17000, so I simply didn't have the time with a two hour commute daily, but I have switched jobs and now I can work it into my day , I have started excel using for the past 2.5-3 weeks.

I am 5ft 6 and currently weight 142-145 and have been holding this weight since February - NUT goal is 135 , so yes I have a normal body mass index,

I also have read that if you don't lose any weight in 3 months your considered in maintenance, Has anyone come managed to lose more after a large lull? I am satisfied where I am at, I just panic about this 10-15 lb regain at year two , so hence I really want to get goal. And to have the regain be at where I am,

I am hoping exercising will help, I am currently. Doing couch two 5 k twice back to back every second day, on the ground or I do a full 5km on treadmill using the app 2.5 times till 5km is up. and I go to the gym when I can - usually once or twice a week - it will be more next month , once my life stabilizes a bit better

My treadmill says I burn approx 350 calories

Vitamins - I have to admit , I forget probably more days than I take them, I aim to take the following multi, Biotin , b complex, Mecca, silica,

Health: polycyclic ovary syndrome ,

Advice, concerns, lecture? I am open to any and all advice , - kick my butt I won't be offended.

I am 7 years out and I gain weight very easily.

I had a resting metobolic test taken at a bariatric surgeon's office done twice.

You can't have exercised for 48 hours before and you go straight out of bed without eating or drinking. You get hooked up to a machine with your nose closed with a close pin like thing. Then you breathe in and out of your mouth for 20 min or so that's hooked up to a computer. It spits out how many calories you burn per day resting, without exercise. Mine is 1200 calories.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
