Hoping someone can clear this up for me
slowtogo replied to vicki s's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your body goes into"starvation mode". It's daily needs severely drop- akin to the feast or famine days. The inches vs pounds thing is a part of your body converting fat into muscle-(well sort of- fat goes away and muscle grows from amino acids and protein intake. ) Muscles weigh more than fat-and have less bulk than fat. So you lose inches but don't lose weight as your body grows muscle. Does that sort of explain it? -
I went totally grey. I color now.

Not gettting in all my protein or liquids:(
slowtogo replied to poisonedsweet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Drink an oz every 10 min. Set a clock or a timer. -
It's all over the place for most people. At 5 weeks 400-600 calories is not abnormal. The doctors like you to get at least 65 gms of Protein if you are a woman and it seems like 600-800 calories is where this is doable. At my stage, post surgery, 18 months- my target is 1200. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Still low carb. High meat, veggies, and fruits. I do a fair amount of Soup as I struggle to get my liquids in.

Hey Jimmy! Welcome! I'm a girl however, lurking in the men's room it would appear. .. But seriously. Healthy choices include limited carbs, high protein, non-fried foods. We have many threads here that cover all stages of post surgery. You will like it here.

Dumping? (TMI sorry) I gotta know
slowtogo replied to Pam Peltz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fruits don't make me dump. Only items with processed sugars. So it probably depends on the person. -
Eat the fruit. Then you get both. I eat far more fruit then I used to. Mayo clinic says we need 8-10 serving of fruits and veggies per day. My daughter lives on fruits and proteins primarily and is slim slim slim. I think there is something to it.

Did anything good happen as a over weight person?
slowtogo replied to TinyMamiOf3kids's topic in The Lounge
I found out where some people hearts were. While this was sometimes a painful experience, it was none the less enlightening. -

slowtogo replied to LosingItForMe2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am down around 131 lbs. Sometimes it's 129. I really would like to lose another 10. Those of you below 160- are you having the same struggles as I? -
And the nightmare continues…
slowtogo replied to missmachine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe it's time to go to another dr in another facility and get a second opinion? You should be feeling better by now. (Hugs) my thoughts are with you. -
