To Be Thin 2011 80 Posted September 7, 2011 Hi! You have done great so far! Losing that much weight in short time, Congrats!!! I think if you re-read your post you kind of answered your own question,, you are not exercising. The surgery alone will not make the weight just continue to drop off. I have been the oposite I over exercised and saw very little actual weight loss, so I had to bounce up my calories. I had little wieght loss that month, but wow could I tell in how my clothes fit!... I also had a low weight loss in July, I was not faithful to counting my calories & carbs.... went on vacation, etc... You are doing great honestly, ... just in my opinion you should add the exercise, start slow and work up. I know some people "BS: on here, but I am telling you the honest truth.. I was so heavy when I started walking it was on our treadmill, 15 minutes a day... I kept increasing and increasing. I am now doing 3 miles at around the 52 minute mark. My goal is to start actually jogging, but we will see! I work on it 4-6 times a week and I truly do feel better once I get off the treadmill. On nice days (that arent too hot) I go to this walking path at a park not far from my home. Even if you walk in place during your favorite tv show or the nightly news,,, just suggestions... Maybe you are just in a little stall and then boom you will see that scale really move! Keep the faith,,,& good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syltx3 5 Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks To be Thin 2011, you are so right , i need to start with the exercise, i just dont make the time or just plain make excuses for:) again thank you, for your encouraging words and making feel more at ease. I have racking my brain thinking maybe im eating too many calories ( 600-700) or maybe i should be doing something different, but now i see i have to actually get out there and start with the exercise.

You really are doing well, dont fret over it... I have my calories up around the 900 - 1000 range, but again everyone is different... so what if you go walking a few times a week, it wont hurt!!!! LOL! That scale will move, just keep following your doc advise.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
