Calories and workouts



Recommended Posts

I do 30 minute weight training (21 day fix) about 3 days a week and alternate with light jogging for the other 3, and usually yoga or Pilates on the 7th day. I track with my fitness pal and get about 1000-1200 cals a day with 90g Protein minimum. Is this too many calories? I am 4 months out from surgery and it seems like a lot to me.

I don't think so with the amount you're excersising. Are you still losing?

I am losing, but it's slowed since I started working out more often a month ago. I have always lost about 2lbs a week and every 10lbs it slows for a few lbs and then picks up again for the next 6-8, rinse, repeat. I guess it just sounds like a lot compared to the past 3 months of 600-800 cals. Unfortunately, I had my surgery in Puerto Vallarta, so there isn't a lot of post op support.

You are eating, exercising, losing, and plateauing just the same I am. I think you are right on track. About every ten pounds, I get dead stuck at same weight for about a week or maybe two, then I'll drop another 6 or 8 pounds fairly quickly. I'm probably about 1100-1300 cals per day and I am eating a bit of carbs now, mostly fruit but I take a two ounce treat a couple times a week. I walk there to five rounds of golf each week and lift light weights. As long as it keeps going down. I am down 50 lbs since June 11 sleeve.

I think your fine. It will definitely be slower the closer you get to goal.

I am about the same with calories and exercise and stall out about every 6lbs. I try to keep trucking on. I know I need to reduce carbs and definitely think that could help

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
