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.

      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.
