Switch things up a bit... whether it's your workout routine or your eating habits

I have found that carb cycling has worked wonders (there is a whole topic on here about it if you search)

No weight loss in the last couple weeks. Thanks for the advice Lapbandster, I will switch up my routine. This may be the problem. My body is getting to used to the same routine. I usually spend 45 min on the eliptical then I do my other exercises. Then the next day I usually spend 45 min on the tredmill and my other exercises. I alternate those two routines. Is my body that smart to know that its not really much of a change.

I been thinking of adding an aerobic routine at home.There are plenty on my Comcast Cable On demand. So I will add that to the mix.

I have literally been an exercising machine! Eating right, limiting the carbs because of the PCOS and absolutely no sugar. No beef or Pork because I cant tolerate it anyway.

I hope I get over this slump this week.

i hit my first stall at about 10 months out, it lasted 6 wks and i decided to try a small fill in my band, even tho my portions and things were good already...doc gave me .9cc in my band and i have now dropped 7 lbs in the last 2 wks. Also since you arent able to eat pork or beef, make sure you are getting enough protein..60-80g. good luck.

      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.
