Topic: Just FYI. WE CAN GAIN WEIGHT.

Okay, just want you guys to know, I had a little reality check. I wentto France on business for seven days and I gained seven pounds. Yes I ate my way to "weigh" the extra seven pounds. Im actually glad I gained it, becaus now I realize I am in control of my choices, and if we choose wrong.. it catches up fast! Just my 2 cents... Jamie

Topic: PS update

Well hello ladies - I just wanted to see a new post

Today is my 1st day 100% compression free ... we will see how long I last. I am fine out of the leg compression & fine without the sports bra (traded in for a much smaller regular bra) ... but I feel SO uncomfortable without my arm compressions! I am bringing them to work "Just in Case" I can't make it the whole day. It will be 7 weeks tomorrow that I had all my surgeries. I will be updating my pictures this evening ~ everything looks REALLY good! Sue 318/160

Topic: RE: how many calories/day

Have you had a followup with your surgeon? I just had my one year and I also am losing at a slow rate. Only 6 lbs in the last 6 months. They are concerned that I am not eating enough based on my activity level (never thought I would EVER be told that!). I also have PCOS which is a factor because my body wants to hang onto the weight. Anyway I am to log all my food for 2 weeks and send it to my dr. They will give it to the dietician for her to look at. So they will determine from that if I need more calories or activity. I usually get about 1200-1300 a day right now. So my point being maybe you should check with your surgeon and the dietician that they work with. That is really the only way you are going to get the right answer. Good luck! Dawn

Topic: RE: how many calories/day

I have been wondering about the same thing. I have slow down the weight loss to almost nothing then boom lately I've dropped a few lbs. It was a nice suprise but I eat WAY too much these days I feel. I eat too much junk. I was considering going to weigh****chers to see if that would help me keep a more focused outlook on my weight. I have lost 171lbs so I can't really complain if I don't lose anymore but I sure would love to get to 130lbs and thats stil over 30lbs left to lose. 30lbs seem so much easier to get off then the 200lbs I was looking at in the beginning. I did visit Beths link and I will try going by that for awhile.
