Topic: What to eat
Hi everyone,
I am wondering what everyone has been eating. I feel like I am in a funk. I know what I should eat but I am so sick of the same thing that I just don't feel like eating at all. I don't want egss, fish, or chicken. I know I need lean protein but I am so sick of my usual. Does anyone have some ideas they could share with me.
Thanks
Stephanie

Topic: RE: 5 month Surgiversary
You're so right 'every one is different' is probably the most useless stand alone comment I see on these boards. With nothing for comparison, there's no practical guidance which is what most people are looking for. The only frequent comment of less value is 'you're not ready for surgery' as though one can tell from the limited info in a single post.
Thanks for sharing your routine. I've found I do best at around 1125 calories, a few hundred under my resting metabolic rate. Its hard to eat that much within my nutritionists plan so I blew that away and started my own diet.
Under 900 calories I head into starvation response. When I was eating 450-600 I gained weight like a compulsive overeater. That blew my mind especially since I could not eat much. I get 100 oz liquids a day and of course all my supplements.
I do 90 min of aerobics (usually bike and eliptical) and half hour weights plus stretching six days a week. On Sundays its lighter but minimum 30 min aerobics/ weight circut training. I always have a calorie deficit since I burn 1200-1500 in exercise. Still, my metabolism and medicationd work against me. I thought wls would improve this but I was so wrong.
Still, no regrets. I've lost 50 in 4 1/2 months. It took around 5 years to loose the first 50 pre wls.

Hi Tiffany!
I so understand you! I get so close to moving down another number than up she goes, over and over
I have only lost 36 post surgery. I knew it would be slow. I have averaged 1.9 pounds per week and you are about the same too. I just had hope it would be fast early out and slow down to 1-2 pounds per week.
If you look at what all here, 30's is the average. Some are more and some less.
Keep the faith! We need to keep coming and supporting each other.

Hi,
I still lurk on this board ocassionally. Tomorrow, I will be 5 months post op and I have only lost 35 lbs. I have been at a stall for the last month or so. I have restriction, I've been exercising, but I keep losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. I knew that the weight loss would be slow, but I didn't think it would be this slow.

Everyone is different, and lose at different rates. With that said, it sure the heck doesn't make it easier when things slow down!
My average caloric intake is 560. My protein is right around 60. My water exceeds the daily suggested by 2 x's at least.
My workouts are generally 5 x's per week, but at the least every other day (while I am mom-sitting). I have been spending 1/2 hour on an elliptical then 1/2 hour on a bike. Or 1/2 hour bike or elliptical THEN about 15 minutes of weights.
If I am crunched for time, I just hit the bike for half hour, with a high resistancy.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Thats fantastic. Good for you.
You've gotta tell me what you're doing cause I'd kill to get to your slowed down rate of wl. What do you eat in a typical day? How much exercise do you get?
My progress remains dissapointing. I've lost about half as much as you have and each pound was like having a wisdom tooth extracted plus I'd regain and get to do it all over again. Right now I'm 11.5 lbs behind schedule if I'm to meet the goal for my six month visit.
Its not for the lack of trying. I'm doing aerobics and weights six days a week, and my choice of a video, usually circuit training on Sundays. 95% of the time I get in all of my protein vits and water and I watch my calories (not too litle or too much ). Still its a struggle.
Please share your secret! (Or bottle it and sell it, lol.)
I've done a little better in the past few weeks. No body fat gain but a two week stall instead along with some plain old water weight. I never expected this to be easy but I did not expect to struggle if I followed the rules.
