Told To Stop Jogging



Recommended Posts

I was told to stop jogging, that it was causing me to stop my weight loss. I was told they would tell me when I could jog, I could walk only and not too fast. I was o disheartened and do not want to go back to True Results office. I let her know that I felt great and saw a difference in my clothes and my muscle tone and was still told to stop. Their studies indicate this is a shock o my system and cursing my body to hold onto calories. I had stopped going for a year and went back and never heard this before. Is this true.

She is the only one I see to give me my fills and critiques my slow weight loss. She isn't very helpful in this area and says that is what the latest research says. I guess I could lie about my exercising. I have lost about 80 lbs in 2 years and dropped from size 24 to 14. I am happy with my progress but she says it should be more and tht I can only eat a 1/2 cup serving for each meal and limit my walking to 5 days a week, I was at 7 days a week and jogging. I also think this is not right. Seems kind of personal but don't want to read into it. The other woman I saw said no high impact exercise for the same reason and dropped me to 5 days a week. So this is the culture there.

I agree, that makes zero sense.

Basic math- if you're burning more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. Jogging may build leg muscle but it also burns a lot of calories. It could cause a temporary plateau on the scale due to building muscle but as you pointed out, even then you're still losing inches.

I'm curious who told you that? A doctor? Nurse? Whoever it was either totally clueless or seems to be under the illusion temporary plateaus due to exercise is a bad thing. Either way, I'd talk to someone that isn't completely lacking common sense.

You're very smart to question it. Best wishes to you.

These are PA's. all new staff. No one sees dr again, only for 1 year follow up. So those are the only two folks I see. Honestly makes me not want to go back.

Perhaps you could find a different doctor near you to take over your care? Honestly, I wouldn't want to go somewhere I never saw a doctor only PA's. The crap information you're getting from them is a perfect example why.

It is coming off slowly, as I was filled too much and caused a dilated esophagus. I had to have Fluid let out and slowly replaced, currently at 6.5 cc and at my sweet spot. I see the difference in my clothes, I was so happy to be able to get into large and x large clothes, as that was not an option before. I stopped focusing on the scale, but this office doesn't measure me so they don't even know the inches I've lost. I feel good, I have energy I hadn't felt in years. I have to tell myself I didn't get here over night and am so much happier with he progress I have made. Without the surgery I would still be a size 24. With PCOS nothing worked except for the surgery, I wish the dr' s office shared my joy but they don't. I will seek a new office soon to stay on track. Thanks for the supportive words.

God, its truly scary what idiots are in charge of some programs. This is probably the biggest load of rubbish I've read on here in seven years - and there's been some whoppers. Stop exercising to lose more weight? I dont think so!

I would ignore that advice - and lie about it if needs be.

i was just going thru some post and came across yours and the replies. My office has actually told me to get more cardio type exercise. As one post said.......burn more than you take in??????simple math. I have lost 70+or- a pound or 2. I havent really exercised at all. I have loose skin now that i dont think I would have had if I had started working out earlier. Muscle burns off fat. Muscle is also smaller in area. Yea it may not look on the scale like a loss. I f your office cant understand that they need a few more classes in nutrition and excersise . Also most of the Lap Band procedures are followed for ever.Thats part of the package. I assume you had surgery here in US since you go to an office for f/u. You should see a doctor atleast a few times' PA's are okay sometimes maybe better, they will spend more time with you. How often do you get fills?? Does a doctor do that for you?. I have also had the esophageal spams just latelyas a matter of fact. It finnally stopped after a few hours. Not something you want to happen BELIEVE ME!!! So I say jog....walk ...run. What ever makes you feel good.

I never see the dr, I was going once a month. Then stopped for a period due to heavy travel and when I went back there was a whole new staff. The two PA's are all one sees for fills or follow ups. They both advise this and when I question it they say it is based on the latest research and that it sounds counter productive but it is totally sane. I don't buy it.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
