Keia 4 Posted July 7, 2010 Today is my third of six classes and I'm going to be up a pound from last month. :thumbup: Each month I swear that I'm going to be down next time. I even started exercising three times a week and logging my calories, and I still gained! OMG, I could just cry. I get so jealous when I see other people on here who lose so much weight pre-op and I can't seem to move the scale five pounds. What a way to start my day.:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stargate713 0 Posted July 7, 2010 that's why you are having lap-band surgery.....if we could do it on our own we wouldn't be here. Just do your best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted July 7, 2010 Are you on a liquid diet or has your doctor told you to eat sensibly? I think most people loose a lot on a really strick 2 week liquid diet. It sounds to me that you have modified your food intake and started exercising. One thing to keep in mind is it's easy to justify "little snacks" after exercising because you just burned off all those calories! It's also easier to make bad choices if you eat out, again becuase you're exercising. I am preband dieting but not on a doctor's liquid diet. Admittedly I live alone. I no longer buy any kind of cracker, cookie, popcorn snack, potatoe chip or chidren's Cereal. Nothing. Why, because I don't eat them wisely. Mindless eating. Also, some foods seem heathier than they are. Three Egg Veggie omlet with cheese: whole eggs(60 cal. each, 5 grams fat) with 2 ounces chedder cheese (200 cal, 18 grams fat) 1/2 cup veggies 50 cal., total 430 cal 33 grams fat. Same omlet made with egg whites no cheese 100 cal. In a week you save 2/3 pound of fat worth of calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
