Calorie confusion



Recommended Posts

Oh I am so ready to drop too fast! :)

It really teaches you humility this whole process. You realize how little you control' date=' other than your actions. What your body chooses to do is not withinyour control.[/quote']

It is SO unpredictable!

Over the last 5 weeks here is my weight loss:

4 pounds

4 pounds

3 pounds

5 pounds

0 pounds

The month before I only lost a TOTAL of 9 pounds.

You just never know.

Well, yesterday I had carbs at 22% and Protein and 43% and no losses. Actually gained a pound. And I walked a mile! Oh well, gotta be calm and let it happen on it's own.

See what happens when you get your Protein up to 50% for a few days?

How do they do a metabolism test?

Glad they are being proactive and looking to see if there is an underlying problem that needs to be addressed! Good luck!

With me,I I've had my thyroid rested ans also. Was asked to breathe into a snorkel-like mask. They can then tell you for resting metabolic rate (BMr)

Thanks gamergirl. I didn't know. I have had hypothyroid for almost 20 years, so that gives me a slower metabolism. But at my 3 month checkup they found my meds were now too high so they lowered it. Makes me scared that will make my metabolism even slower now :-(

They lowered my thyroid meds too at my one month check up. I think I just accept with the thyroid, me being 47, etc., that I will just lose slow. As long as I lose, I guess I'll take it. :) what can you do, eh?

You are SO right! I'm 53 and I think it's harder for us the older we get. I am on an 8 day stall are you and your husband still on your stall?

Well after 11 days of being stalled, I finally lost half a measly pound. I try it not to think of the fact that in the last 6weeks I've only lost 4 lbs. My poor husband is still stalled.

But we really are doing everything by the book so it has to work. It will just work on its time, not my time apparently :P

You have a great attitude! Yes, it WILL work eventually. As long as you're working the plan, it definitely will.

      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.

      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.
