Today I had a killer work out, did 50 squats with 50 lbs again. It's getting a tiny bit easier. Saw the plastic surgeon and everything is a go. He said my waist size would probably go down 2 sizes. I'm psyched! Have a good day!

Okay worked out Saturday FINALLY! Was a killer strength training session. My god my abs hurt. I keep on hesitating to cough now cause it hurts. Anyways just about over the bronchitis thank goodness. Ankle is bothering me though. Didn't go Sunday. Tonight I already have my bag packed in the car for the gym so I will definitely go. No step class though like usual. I so miss it. Anyways weighed in Saturday. Gained a pound over the two weeks which isn't bad at all really with new years and everything. But still..gotta start going down again. Oh I won a pilates workout dvd and book in a drawing in my saturdays class. Between thanksgiving and xmas we put in a slip of paper with our name into a jug for every pound we lost..then we had the drawing and I won :eek:

Daddy gratz on the tshirt..thats soo cool..I had a good laugh with the candy machine thing. Someone is on your side for sure :)

Okay had some trouble with this site but it looks like its working again for me.

Okay Monday night just did the circuit training stuff..lots of crunches..and 20 minutes on the bike did about 5 miles i think. I keep on treating these bikes like spin bikes and they so can't take it. LOL

Last night I went to spin class. Can I just say once again I fricken LOVE this class. Ankle was bothering me though a bit. I just wanna exercise without having to think of something hurting..it's annoying

Hi guys..wow they changed the way the site looks..

Anyways went to spin class last night. It's always harder on thursday since I went on tuesday and I'm still sore..lol. Anyways I survived had a great time. Didn't get the crunches in though cause I was running late to class.

Hey Jess30. Don't be too hard on yourself. Really this isn't a race. Your body will change if you stick to exercising overall. Everyone has skipped a few days..or a few weeks even and its okay. If you stay focused on your overall goal your going to get there. Just remember that you can't expect to get there without exercise in your life. Hope you get some gym time in soon. :(

Well, hit the gym last night for my top rep's circuit on lower body. Then, up at 4 am to do the treadmill at home for 1/2 hr before hitting the gym when they opened at 5 am to do my top rep's circuit for upper body and another 50 minutes in "Cardio Cinema" on the treadmill. All told this morning, 5.3 miles and 1200 calories this morning on treadmills alone. I'm almost starting to think I'm getting obsessive about cardio:scared2:

However, after a bad weekend last weekend up north ice fishing, I've managed to get back to the weight I was at last Friday, 299. What a yo-yo week that was.

Keep up the good work everyone. Just remember if you miss a day, don't beat yourself up, just get back to it again. That has always been my biggest problem in the past.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
