Start tracking everything - be sure to get all the water and 60 g of protein - limit cals to 1200 and work on the 40/30/30 protein/carb/fat ratios.

Next step - get moving - walk walk walk...

Final step - keep coming to the board - we will help you!

Take care!

Little cool and windy and rainy here in Texas this past week,  Logging in for 35 km for team A!

Thanks for all you do - if you can't get your up to date spreadsheet back - maybe just take the totals from the last time you reported to us and start there?

Good Luck!

Sorry Team A!

We made it to Texas!  I guess I can't count all those km's?  So - for the past 3 wks - 47 km for me!  Not much - but we are settled here now for 6 wks - will be online every week now.

Yep!  May 2/12 with Dr. Hong in Hamilton - step 1 of the Full DS.

 

Hello Team A - I did not abandon you!  4 weeks of vacation and I am back - but I did count my activity while I was gone.  4 wks = 92 km - not much considering some of the other posts - but you can only do so many laps around the cruise ship!

Take care and keep moving!

 

 Okie Dokie - I am on A team and logged 15.5 km this week.

I will be away on vacation for the next 3 weeks, but plan on doing lots of walking on the cruise ship. I will report when I return - Nov 12.

Go A Team!

Brenda - I understand in my brain that I needed to eat more, to get out of starvation - but it is hard to tell my other brain that it is OK to eat what is needed - so afraid of failure. 

I also think that you are not eating enough and it will cause your weighloss to slow.  This happened to me and that is why I had this discussion with the dietician.

I know it makes sense - but it is so hard to wrap my brain around it.

I would suggest upping your cals for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference....

Good Luck!

 I have myfitnesspal on my droid phone and it works great!

At my 3 mth check up - the dietician told me to eat more - to about 900 cal per day.  He didn't give me specifics about carbs/fats.  He suggested cutting some protein at meals - instead of 3 oz protein - make it 2 oz leaving room for carbs and fats.  ALWAYS - make sure it is over 60 g protein. 
I printed out the food diary for him to see and that is when he mentioned to add more vegetables/fruit - more carbs.

I am playing with the carb/fat count to see what works for me - somedays I don't lose and others I drop alot - hard to tell.  I keep tracking and tracking and hopefully I will find a trend.

Good Luck!

Sorry ATeam - only did 10 km this week - nasty cold... but I am adding to my total to catch up!

Whoot Whoot!  Great job Greg!

Thank you all for this reminder.  I agree - I have spent 25 years telling myself how bad and incapable I am.  That is not me - I am a good person and very capable at almost everything.

Even Superman has kryptonite to bring him down.....

Thanks everyone!  I am taking OTC Zantac 150 mg 2x a day, I wouldn't say it isn't helping...but it is still an issue.

Wait to see what the surgeon has to say.  Nice to hear that others have experienced this and it seems like nothing major to worry about.  Thank you for that!
