  1. Protein & Excercise

    · chunkychic30 · 05/04/2012 12:42

    Good morning All ,
    I had a few questions I am now 10days post op (yeah) , how much protein should I consume in a day. I was told by doctor 3 cups but that doesnt tell me how much protein I should have. Can you tell me the numbers you were given by your doctors. And also how much excercise is one suppose to do a week out and so on. Monday I started a mile a day is this too little ? If their are any April sleevers you mind sharing your weight loss. Thanks everyone seems like I can never get enough info.

  2. Confused?

    I know some of you mitte have seen my previous post on forums just thought i would rant and rave a little. I am 6 weeks post op and am doing everything as instructed by my doctors. I lost 20lbs first 2 weeks of surgery the last 4 weeks i have been at a complete stall well not stall cause i have managed to gain 6 lbs back wth!!. I have heard about the dreaded 3 week stall but this has been going on for 4 weeks, i contacted the doctors office and they could not explain why i havent lost. i take to protein as i am suppose to , eat protein first keep in mind i am still only getting about 500 calories a day, I excerice daily .The doc said even a weeks worth of food doesnt add to a pound. I really was hoping to have lost 25-30 lbs by now amd i have a BMI of 54 so i have alot more to lose. i lost 73 lbs on my own pre surgery . Has anyone heard of this ? well i am hoping that next week gets better. I only weight weekly , fingers crossed i can get threw this. I am trying to up calories as instructed by doc to 800. I love hearing people success stories just it seems like i am waiting on my own.......

    So tomorrow will be 4 weeks post op, and I am at a big time stall. Haven't lost any weight since around day 12. only weighting once a week but when i do its the same number. I know not to compare to others , however considering I am on the heavy side i thought i mite loose faster. In the first 12 days i lost 20lbs , now gained 2 back ?????? what the hec ??. I get plenty of protein daily and and doing great on mushies. any suggestions , I feel like i lost more when i was doing it on my own (fyi lost 73lbs pre op) Is this just a stall or should i be concerned ?
