Scale Obsessed? Food Log Getting You Down?maybe I Should Focus On Nsv's
brendap commented on Hopeful to be full's blog entry in Hopeful to be full's Blog
I was in the same boat you are. I dropped my calories down to 900, eat sugar free jello and pudding for snacks, and walk atleast 3 miles a day. then the pounds started coming back off again. -
today is my 8 week appt with the dr. I only lost 10 pounds this month and that was right after my first fill on Jan 11. Someone said I was exercisng too much for the 1000 calories I was taking in and thats why I wasnt losing weight. So I have cut back on my walks and increased my cals to 1500 and still didnt lose any. Not quite sure what Im doing wrong, but I try to look at the bright side 10 pounds is better than none. So Im anxious to see what this next month is going to do. I have a goal o...

I was banded on Dec 7th. and have lost 30 pounds since surgery day. I really, really REALLY want to hit 40 by Feb 7. Keeping a track of 20 pounds per month. I am busting butt excersizing. Do you think IM doing too much? I walk 3 miles on level 6-7 on the treadmill every weekday. On weekends I hit the hiking trail and increase every hike by 1 or 2 miles. I did an 8 mile hike today in 2 hours 30 min. Only took in 800 calories today with 90 gms of protein, and my scale has not moved. WTHeck...

I did an 8 mile hike today in 2 hours 30 min. No big deal, Im not looking for great times, just the fact that I did the darn thing. Only took in 800 calories today with 90 gms of protein, and my scale has not moved. WTHeck! I know, I know, my husband says my body is transitioning the fat to muscle... Im getting tired of hearing about that. Maybe I should layoff walking so much? Can I have some feedback? December bandsters.. where are you with weightloss and excerisize? My daytime job is at a bank, so I sit at a desk most of the day.What do I need to do differently?

And dont worry Little Roo is watching over yall in kitty heaven. I just put down my 15 year old Retriever, Colby, I may as well been burying my child. Couldnt believe how much I cried. Things will get better, just keep looking toward the summer and that awesome new swimsuit you get to slide into! Have a great day!

Help. What Am I Doing Wrong?
brendap replied to BeautyLarue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first fill on the 12th also. I had to lower my calories to 800 to lose any.The scale hasnt moved much but I can tell that I have lost inches. I am told that my body is losing the fat and gaining the muscle from the excersize, muscle weighs more than fat and thats why no decrease in scale. I walk 3 miles every day with hills and 5 miles on sat and sun. I know how it affects your motivation, so Im right there with ya! maybe try to drop the calories down to 900 and see if that helps. I know if I eat 1000 I cant lose. Good luck! -

mushies= slightly runny mashed potatoes with "i cant believe its butter", oatmeal, protein shakes, scrambled eggs, maybe some tuna salad with light mayo ( not on bread).

Getting Banded Monday, Need Help With Grocery List
brendap replied to WeaponX's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I dont think you are suppose to have protein shakes until like day 5, ck with your doctor. But I found that hot apple cider help me tremendously. you can find it next to the hot cocoa mixes. I used both the regular and the sugar free. Lots of gasx chewables also or mylanta gas. I ate that like m&ms, but it helped with the pain. Good Luck and welcome to the other side! :-) -
went for my first fill today, got 2 ccs. had a lot of fluid around my port. Dr pulled 42 cc's plus some from around my port. that was kind of scary. Hope it doesnt come back.
