Almost 1 Year Out And Ive Lost Too Much Weight



Recommended Posts

Your BMI is still on the higher end of the healthy weight range, so I wonder if some of your concern is due to perceiving yourself differently - unless, of course, you've dropped lots of weight since you last updated your signature. Like others said, try to up your calories through liquids. Weight training is also good for putting on some healthy weight AND improving your strength, since it sounds like strength is a concern for you.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!

ok i try not to disagree with people since we are supposed to be supportive to one another, but i have to say this... please DO NOT START BAD HABITS NOW!

You obviously had the surgery because you were overweight which mean early on in your life you picked up a bad habit. eatting ice cream everyday is not gonna be a good habit to pick back up. You are young and so im sure right now you have a higher metabolism than most, and because you are active at work its probably keeping it that way, but with age your metabolism will slow.. trust me, and if you pick up these habits now you will most likely wind up gaining weight that you did mean to later on.

my suggestion to you is start hitting the gym and doing strenght training, weights, bells, circuit training, obviously you don't need to really do a lot of cardio, but this way you can pack on a healthy weight because of muscle gain instead of fat weight from high sugar content. take in a good amount of Protein to help build and recover muscle before and after training.. most of the guys i know that wanna pack on muscle to gain weight injest between 60-120 grams of Protein a day depending on your activity level.

I just really wanna caution you on eatting fatty, sugary foods to gain weight, because its not the type of weight you want to put on.

good luck to you tho.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
