So im down 90 pounds since march 21 2012. 3 weeks ago i really started working out heavy as in 2 mile jog, 1 mile eliptical, 30 mins weights, 10 min core, half mile swim approx 5 days a week. I eat around 1600 cals a day with 90-100 grams of Protein. I have been between 240 and 244 for like a freaking month and cannot break it. This is my first stall. My nut said up cals 300 or so on workout days. Any suggs or words of encouragement

With all that I would imagine you age gaining muscle Weight while losing fat weight...... That would be Great B)

Though people will tell you 1 pound of muscle vs. 1 pound of fat still equals a pound gaining muscle mass will tend to make you stall a bit or even gain a little bit at first. Muscle is denser and occupies less space.

The more muscle you build, the more fat you burn, which in turn speeds up your metabolism. Which will mean you will need to put in more calories to burn fuel efficiently.

It may seem like you are getting bigger at first but as the fat burns away you will see a leaner you. Give it some time and you will see the more muscles you build the leaner you get. Sometimes the scale lies and it's not really about what it says, it's the entire package.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
