I was banded at the end of June I was 198, I don't know what I expected but it has been very slow I'm now 167 I'm a Cyclest I ride between 75 to 125 miles a week I'm Also running, my Dr said that my body is holding on to everything to much exercise and to little calories consumed so I need to slow down on the exercise crazy, one good thing I was shopping my daughter gave a pair of pants to try on from Jcrew and I loved how they fit when I looked they were size 6!!' I asked for a different pair thinking the were missed label but the other ones fit as good is just the scale that is moving very slowly

Not in my book!!! I did slowly gain once, as my body tone/shape changed, but then it all let loose and got me off a plateau like i jumped off a cliff.....

Not such a thing. Just make sure u are taking in enough calories to give your body what it needs to maintain heal and function. If u completely deplete it then it will hold on to whatever u are giving it!

With that amount of exercise you must make sure you are getting a lot of Protein to keep your muscles healthy. You may want to check out livestrong website, lots of info about things like this.

Also, remember that muscle weight more than fat, so if your leg muscles are in awesome shape which likely they are with the cycling, you should look more at your body fat %. Chances are you have low body fat and high muscle.

To me it sounds like you are in awesome shape and should just enjoy a size 6!!! You go girl!

You'll know if you're overtraining. You won't recover, you'll lack energy, not sleep well and you may get depressed too. Maybe your immunity will take a nose dive and you'll pick up annoying colds etc.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
