So im down 90 pounds since march 21 2012. 3 weeks ago i really started working out heavy as in 2 mile jog, 1 mile eliptical, 30 mins weights, 10 min core, half mile swim approx 5 days a week. I eat around 1600 cals a day with 90-100 grams of Protein. I have been between 240 and 244 for like a freaking month and cannot break it. This is my first stall. My nut said up cals 300 or so on workout days. Any suggs or words of encouragement

With all that I would imagine you age gaining muscle Weight while losing fat weight...... That would be Great B)

Though people will tell you 1 pound of muscle vs. 1 pound of fat still equals a pound gaining muscle mass will tend to make you stall a bit or even gain a little bit at first. Muscle is denser and occupies less space.

The more muscle you build, the more fat you burn, which in turn speeds up your metabolism. Which will mean you will need to put in more calories to burn fuel efficiently.

It may seem like you are getting bigger at first but as the fat burns away you will see a leaner you. Give it some time and you will see the more muscles you build the leaner you get. Sometimes the scale lies and it's not really about what it says, it's the entire package.

      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.
