Not losing weight

[Sadlers1999 169]

My doctor calculated my resting metabolic rate a few days b4 my surgery' date=' u sit there relaxed and breathe into a tube and a machine records something that tells me how many many calories I burn a day. For better details ck it out on the Internet. About 5 yrs ago I paid to have this done at our local hospital also so it has been around for a while. One more thing, in one year my doc will redo this test to see how my body is burning calories, the more muscle I have the better it will be. Hope this helps[/quote']

Thanks.

I would try to reduce your carbs also. I found that has helped me. I had my surgery a few days before you and lost 14 lbs the first week and then only 2-3 lbs a week until week 4 and now I am down 6 lbs. I have also started doing more that walking now. I am finding when I don't loose many lbs that I am losing inches. I also found lowering my carbs has helped me. Good luck!!

I lost 16 my first month' date=' and then about 10 every month after that until about 7 months out (check my signature - I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to tracking all the info, lol). You are doing absolutely FINE It *will* come off. It *has* too. [/quote']

Two days after my surgery. I'm down 29 pounds but feel bloated because I'm about to start again. I think I might reach my 30 pound goal!!!! I stay around 500 calories per day and I'm about to start back to my gym. My kids keep me busy anyway lol. My BMI was 38ish before surgery

People, we should all know that up to 5 pounds can be due to Fluid retention. Just stick with it and you could be losing inches.
