I was banded at the end of June I was 198, I don't know what I expected but it has been very slow I'm now 167 I'm a Cyclest I ride between 75 to 125 miles a week I'm Also running, my Dr said that my body is holding on to everything to much exercise and to little calories consumed so I need to slow down on the exercise crazy, one good thing I was shopping my daughter gave a pair of pants to try on from Jcrew and I loved how they fit when I looked they were size 6!!' I asked for a different pair thinking the were missed label but the other ones fit as good is just the scale that is moving very slowly

Not in my book!!! I did slowly gain once, as my body tone/shape changed, but then it all let loose and got me off a plateau like i jumped off a cliff.....

Not such a thing. Just make sure u are taking in enough calories to give your body what it needs to maintain heal and function. If u completely deplete it then it will hold on to whatever u are giving it!

With that amount of exercise you must make sure you are getting a lot of Protein to keep your muscles healthy. You may want to check out livestrong website, lots of info about things like this.

Also, remember that muscle weight more than fat, so if your leg muscles are in awesome shape which likely they are with the cycling, you should look more at your body fat %. Chances are you have low body fat and high muscle.

To me it sounds like you are in awesome shape and should just enjoy a size 6!!! You go girl!

You'll know if you're overtraining. You won't recover, you'll lack energy, not sleep well and you may get depressed too. Maybe your immunity will take a nose dive and you'll pick up annoying colds etc.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
