I was talking to my trainer the other night (doing boot camp at the moment) and he expressed alarm at what I eat v the training I do. He said my metabolism must be shot for me not to be 40lb underweight. I dont necessarily agree, I think that eating 1800 calories a day or so is quite normal for a lot of women but his point was how much exericse I do and he couldnt figure how I can sustain it on so few calories. Truth is, I still get quite strong cravings for sugar and carbs - and its nothing more than the fact that I really ought to get Fluid out of my band and just eat more decent food in total. I am not managing to meet my calorie and nutrition needs on good health foods and need to resort to slider foods to get them in. So really, w whislt my band is not too tight, its probably too tight for where I'm at. Could you say the same at all? i can definitely say the same...honestly i don't think i even take in 1800 calories...i told my dr. yesterday i have ZERO appetitie...its not bcuz i'm trying to lose more weight...i have no interest in food...i basically force feed myself...bcuz i know i need the fuel to keep exercising...my dr. called me with my lab results...i have severe anemia (spelling)...my Iron is serverly low and my thyroid is a mess...she upp'd my thyroid med from 2500 to 5000...and told me i may lose weight...last night she told me not to lose anymore weight...i like this dr. bcuz she is my band surgeons wife and doesnt blame everything on the band like other doctors i've been too...its not the bands fault...its my own...my husband and i had a serious disscussion on how to balance all this out...i will NOT stop the exercise...i absolutely refuse...i will not get an un-fill...i'm scared to death of that idea...i will take in more calories...to be honest jachnut i dont think i take in over 1200 and i work off between 800-1000...i now see the damage im doing...light-headed...my hair looks like crap...weak...tired...i'm an inspiration to so many...yet im putting my health 2nd and my will to be thin 1st...i don't want to sound ignorant...just honest...i don't want to be fat ever again...i need to take control back again from my weight...and figure out how to take in more calories and stay healthy...i was thinking about getting my calories out of juices...i do not like sweets...and i have not totally cut carbs from my eating habits...i refuse to go all out and eat pure junk...i'm confused right now -
i went out with my sister a week after my surgery...i wore loose and comfortable clothes...i tried on jeans about 10 days after my tuck...big mistake....oooouuuccchhhhh...i did not have a pain pump and the norco was waaaayyyyy 2 strong for me...im getting a thigh lift in janurary....joy!!!!!!!!
-
luckily im not on a diet...i have a lap band...the only thing i cant eat is doughy bread...i choose not to eat pasta rice or potatoes...i'm a big meat eater...i always have been...i eat the same way i did b4 i was banded...just a LOT less...i don't eat anything i dont like...nothing gross or weird...if i looked at being banded as a diet i would fail...just like i did on diets

i've been getting a lot of private messages and have seen some post about how to handle thanksgiving...luckily for me...my mom's cooking is horrible and my interest in food is very minimal....i'm more interested in BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!!!! why ur sitting there watching everyone stuff their faces...just remember the very next day YOU can go buy a pair of pants or a sweater that would not have fit u the year b4...y ur watching everyone eat pie....remember this loss is soooooooooooooo much sweeter then the pie...the statisfaction u'll get from eating a thanksgiving meal will last a few hours...the satisfaction u'll get from taking ur weight off will last 4-ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THAT IN MIND.....

2Flyguys replied to givempills's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you become complacent in your weight loss? I feel like I take breaks from it...i personally feel like i was on a break for a really long time...and my break is over...i don't think treating urself every now and then is a bad thing....but i don't know about taking breaks from exercising this early in the game...i'm over a year out...and still don't take breaks...i'm not saying to make urself misreable...but the time is now...move 4-ward constantly...don't go back and don't stop... -

ur like me...go big or go home...a lot of people don't like that attitude...but we had surgery...its time to do the damn thing...and ur doing it!!!!!! maintenance is going...4 some reason i've gone back to losing again...i've started taking 2 days off at the gym and i notice i lose weight when i do that...when i go 7 days a week i maintain...so i don't get it...lol...as each month passes i'm starting to relax a little more...i don't want to be in a size 4...i want to stay a 6...so i'm going to wait it out till i hit my 18th month and either put on more muscle or some more weight in a healthy way...
