October Bandsters?

[Mara005 70]

I had surgery on 10/24. I was gradually losing weight since pre-op, however I haven't lost anything in a week. My first appointment since surgery is on Monday. Anyone else experiencing this? You know, the surgery was a lot to do, I just don't want to get worried, I want this to work. I think I am getting in all my Protein now and I have increased my fluids (not all the way but it's better).

I dropped alot the first two weeks, but since then I've barely lost anything. It's super frustrating but I'm trying to focus on daily fitness, my Water intake and protein first, I hope that will help lose it.

Did you gain when you started mushies? Were you working out when you started?

Yes I gained 2 lbs but they told me that was expected and it would take a couple weeks for my body to adjust and they were right.

I was wondering what was happening to me, I gained a couple pounds too on mushies, I'm gonna start working out to get them back off

Same happened to me. I am stuck at 17 lbs lost for a week now. Just got home from a two hour gym session. 664 Calories burned.

It will take about 2 weeks of a stand still. Then you will start losing again. I have lost every day since. I try to eat 1000-1100 calories a day.

Im itching to get to the gym, not allowed until I'm 4 weeks so I have been walking. I too am at a standstill so I am hoping getting to the gym after next week will help kick that in the butt.

Coleeb. I was so Happy to get in the gym. I rotate the Elliptical, Treadmill, Stair climbers, Dumbbell Lifts and various other arm and leg strengthening machines. I always feel great afterwards.

Oh Im jealous LOL, and I love Zumba so Im hoping to start that then eek maybe a spin class

It is normal to not lose while you are eating. Also, if you are taking in 1200 cal a day and not exercising, you may not lose either. Talk to your NUT about calorie intake. I was so focused on that at first and she kepttelling me to quit that because I was eating just to get the Protein and calories in. Once I quit that and only ate when hungry, not head hungry, the weight really started to fall off. I still eat two meals (3 oz protein and 1/2 c veggies/god carb) nd a snack each day for about 500-600 calories and I exercise at least n hour a day. You have to work with you NUT because all of us lose differently. They will help to find what works best for you. I have had one fill, over 10 months out and down 131 pounds.
