MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP

I was on 800 cals a days and had stalled. Lifted up to 900 and lost another 4lbs so yes too low calories may make the body panic in preservation mode. All I know is I'm still loosing and not gaining. Slowly but surely. Getting closer to the target one week at a time. Isn't that what it's all about?

I'm so glad you all said something about starvation mode! Definitely helped me to break through my latest plateau.

Hi there I have found that by increasing my calories to about 800 per day and increasing my water' date=' my weight has started to come off quicker. The old story of starvation mode is definitely true....try increasing your calories a bit and see what happens. All the best[/quote']

Ok it's worth a try!! Thanks!!

So I haven't updated in a while but I am still here. It will be 10 weeks tomorrow since I've had my surgery (May 7th). It was tough in the beginning but I think I have hit my stride. I am 69 pounds down and everything is loose including my clothes . I am eating well (even though my body does allow me to eat sugar) but I make the choice not to eat it. Started working out during the week which includes Water aerobics twice a week, the elliptical three times a week, and weight training three times a week. I have started hiking again which I so missed and I walk around my place or the river when I can. I love being this active and I can tell the difference in the way I walk and sit. My goal is to be 100 pounds down by my August 21st post-op appointment. Of course it's a goal and if I don't reach it then I will shortly after. Still not able to cross my legs but I will be there soon.

I hope everyone is doing good. I don't have any pictures yet but hope to have some posted in the next few months.

I thought I was eating enough, but I tracked everything I ate for the past four days, and if I didn't push, I tended to stop at 450 calories. Wow. So, I am really pushing to keep to a meal/snack schedule and faithfully keep a diet journal. Estimating just didn't work.
