Nope...

It's good...

If you're doing more exercise, you're burning more calories...

If you're burning more calories, you need to eat more...

You've just gotta make sure that what you're eating is a) not s**t, and B) not calorically more than you're burning...

When you get to this point, it's no longer JUST about calories in vs calories out..

This is where the macros come into it...

It may we worth talking to a professional and getting some information that is specific to your needs...

The last thing you want when you're doing extra exercise is for your body to go into 'starvation mode'...

That s**t sux balls!!!

Good luck...

Let us know how you get on...

I don't like when the 'b' and the ')' get together and create a B)

It makes my post look like a smug little thing...

when my weight loss has slowed way down, I get very hungry right before I loose a good bit. it's kind of weird. but it works. and I second that what matters is that you are eating quality food not junk. my surgery was also in February.

Ok because I thought it was bad since I'm only like a month and two weeks out, and I have met someone who said it was bad

It's not...

At just on six weeks oput, you should still be well and truly under the guidance of your surgeon and/or your nutritionist...

You'd be MUCH better served by getting in touch with them and asking their thoughts...

Please remember this - very few people in here are qualified in this field..

Yes, the knowledge contained by the collective in here is vast and so very useful...

However, nobody here knows YOUR situation like YOUR team...

Generally speaking, the information and advice you can get from here is anecdotal and specific to each individual poster...

Please, before you make ANY changes to your diet (especially at six weeks or so out), consult with your respective professionals...

And if you've no such support, please seek out the name of someone in your area and speak to them...

Please...

I am 6 weeks out as well. My weightloss has stalled....at 32lbs. I am getting frustrated. Working out and eating everything advised. I feel I'm more hungry as well but I am in my calorie and Protein ranges. Feel like I'm doing something wrong??

I did return to work and dropped a pant size......I know I'm losing inches but I want to see POUNDS!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
