How on earth have I gained 4.5 lbs this week?!?! I wanna cry.

Are you getting enough calories and Protein? I had the same problem. I ate better and lost almost 2 lbs in one day

I have just noticed the more Protein I take in the more weight I loose. So sick of protein.

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 288 GW: 150

I'm getting between 80 and 85 grams per day. Is that close to yours?

I've hit a major stall. Is 900-1000 calories with a fairly balanced pie of Protein, carbs and fat (should probably have more protein than carb but it's not exactly the same). Not exercising every day due to weather. Any suggestions?

Hi All!

As I feel very "one with the Borg" in this group, I would like to tap in to the collective wisdom. Has anyone developed extremely dry scalp? I'm using the same Shampoo though have now added Selsin Blue to try and counteract the scalp issue but its taking forever to right itself. Any suggestions??

Thanks!!

Whelp, I am 10 1/2 weeks out. Had a kidney stone on the right, then had a stricture and was hospitalized for 4 days for dehydration/ malnutrition, during which they did the EGD and dilation, then got a kidney stone on the left! Hasn't been an easy run for me but I have a F/U with my new surgeon who took care of me in the hospital today. It's my b-day today so hopefully she'll tell me something good!!!

Happy Birthday!

May I please have a moment to rant?! Today is not a good day at all...I drove over 1000 miles in 24hrs' date=' had a rough start with lack of sleep, a cranky toddler & a busy work day...was weighed this morning weighed 249...doing a double bootcamp because I missed yesterday, my team lost the relay so we had to do 1 min plank & then had to weigh in at bootcamp & they have me at 256...my instructor couldn't understand why I was so upset! I'm so pissed at the results & I'm just not happy...thanks for letting me vent

Go by the scale you use most often. All scales are different. Sorry your day hasn't been good. Hope tomorrow is better!

Holy dumping' date=' Batman!!! The past 2 days I have just felt terrible! Everything I eat sends me immediately to the bathroom and I "go" but still feel like I could vomit... I'm wondering if I didn't catch a bit of a stomach bug and combine that with a newly sensitive tummy... :/ here's to hoping work goes alright![/quote']

Hope you feel better soon!

Okay, I am not technically challenged on other things, but the MFP is giving me a quite a challenge. When I go to friends the only options I get are to add friends via email, Facebook contacts or phone contacts. What am I doing wrong? I see nowhere to add your usernames?

Click Find Friends. Look at the list box presented. In the upper right side you can see where you can add by username.

I have a hard time understanding how to add people on my fitness pal. Any help is appreciated.

How is Skinny Cow? I have heard several other forum members mention it . Is that the one that comes in tiny wedges? and do they have different flavors ? any recommendations ?

Thanks

My favorite is the Swiss. The Tomato is a bit much. I haven't tried the others. It is really good with crackers and a bit of turkey!

What kind of Calcium supplements are you taking? I can't seem to find one I like or can tolerate well.

I'm taking the calcium citrate and Skinny Cow cheese. ;o)

My surgery was on June 18th' date=' was down 16.5 lbs after 9 days, this week I had by six week visit and I'm not losing weight like I should be according to the dr. It's depressing to think I went through all this rigimoroll and I'm not losing any faster than being on a regular diet. I'm going to try and follow everything my dr says to the letter and see if that makes a difference. I think I've been suffering from bad head hunger, and have snacked. I know, shame on me![/quote']

This is a life long adjustment for us. May I suggest using Myfitnesspal.com? It keeps me honest and aware.

Anyone have days you just don't feel right? All afternoon I've just felt off. First I thought I felt hypoglycemic so I ate. Didn't help. Just feel like my head is foggy and disconnected. And of course I got mandated to work an extra shift after mine at work' date=' so I've got about 12 1/4 hours to go.[/quote']

AWWW! I hope you feel better soon! I have those days too!

I was hot natured preop and am now chllly postop. My coworkers are very thankful for that. LOL!

So does anyone know anything about fitbit or a polor watch? Maybe a suggestion on something else that tracks your calories ect?

I use MyFitnesspal for calorie / Protein tracking and Runkeeper for my exercise route tracking. You can also add an exercise to MPF and it changes your left over expendable calories accordingly. I'm very satisfied.

*DROOL*

I certainly not sweating like I used too which is very nice. Lol. Summer isn't so oppressive. But being really cold can be a sign of Iron deficiency. Have you had your blood checked?

I'm always somewhat anemic and am tested two to three times a year. It is a lifetime thing but never like it is now. Before, my feet would get cold but that's about it. Fortunately I just had a hot flash / personal summer moment so I'm warm again. LOL!

Rhyz

Has anyone noticed they aren't as hot natured post op? I used to be the one nobody would ask if it was hot because I was ALWAYS hot. Now my cold... my nose gets cold... my fingers get cold.. I'm sooo not used to this!

Just got home from my 2nd post op appointment I'm down 57lbs from the very beginning... Now weighing in at 218lbs. 18 more pounds and then ill be the hundreds oh my gosh I don't remember the last one I weighed this its been a few years... Holla so excited !!! One more week then back to work Monday... I was enjoying my summer recover vacation but gotta make that money back

AWESOME GIRL!!!!!
