Maintenance is not what I expected.



Recommended Posts

@@MelissaKSea,

Hi! Today is my first day to join this website and forum and you and I are in the same situation! My band was put in 2009 and today after a scope to see if everything is ok in my stomach they tell me as a precaution I should remove my band which has been drained! I now get hungry, my stomach growls for the first time in years and I'm scared in gaining weight back! I'm still 242 lbs today. I don't know what to do? The band was over my bypass in 2002. Once the band is gone I have no other options. Any suggestions? Very depressed! Was down to 178!

I too switched to fitness goals. Not so much the increase muscle type (already at 18% body fat and quite muscular) but things like bettering my times on various race lengths. Completing a marathon. Working towards a handstand in yoga. My new goal is to become a certified personal trainer OR a certified yoga instructor.

I've been walking/jogging every other day. Still losing but it is slowing down which I'm good with. Was trying to stay at 200 but my body isn't cooperating. Already at 195. My goal is to 5k, 10k, then marathons.

Maintenance can be very difficult when you get farther out. I remember at 2 years, if I messed up at some social engagement and had a few Snacks, I would gain 2 or 3 lbs. Then I would stay on track all week long and it would come off. Now it's a lot harder to take anything off if I go off track at all.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
