Cardio is good for your heart & lungs' date=' but building your muscles is good for your metabolism and staves off the sagging extra skin bc it fills it with muscle. It's also good for your bones.

My surgeon said something interesting to me last month when I told him that I was having a hard time getting in my Calcium. He said right now it isn't a big deal bc I have my excess weight stressing my bones and keeping them strong, but as the weight comes off the calcium is especially important unless I stress my bones through resistance training.

Despite being morbidly obese, I was very active, just not consistently. :)

Thanks Eclipse for the info. Good to know cuz I'm having a hard time with my calcium as well. I think mostly because I am not suppose to take it with my Multivitamin.< /p>

Ok to all of us who are "upping calories" to get out of stalls... We really have to remember how we got here. I don't know how many days your suppose to keep up the higher calorie intake but I'm sure it's no more than a few days??? That should work through the stall. Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks Ashelaine! Interesting, I would have thought our bodies would need more than one day.

If your working out, you have to increase your calories because your using more energy. But first and foremost make sure you eat your Protein first. And do not go back to the unhealthy foods that got you here. Try not to graze but if your hungry always do protein or healthy snaks like fruit, yogurt etc...

Stalls happen to us all...I miss the days when a stall was a week or even a month. I am now 17 months out and I was in a stall for 3 months the last time. Just stick with it. You might want to consider upping your calorie intake so that your body knows its not starving. Good luck...you will get there!

You are so right, when I upped my calories I noticed I started loosing. This is definitely the key especially when your working out

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
