October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!

[rensterness 375]

I have gotten an amazing support system here on Bariatric Pals and figured I would give this a shot as well. Being sleeved in October of last year I've gotten pretty close to some people on here and have received a lot of support. There is currently a Fundraiser being held for a medical devise I am in need of called a WalkAide which the insurance company has denied. This device is a life changer for me. Below is the link to read my brief story. ANY help would be beyond appreciated, every dollar is a step towards my getting the device! Thank you all for all the support you have given me and keep up the amazing work!!!

So, my Nut told me last week to up my calories from 800 to 1,000, focusing on adding Protein and carbs, and adjusting my percentage breakdown to 40 protein, 40 carbs and 20 fat (I was doing 40 protein, 30 carbs and 30 fat).

I've lost a steady three lbs a week since surgery -- until this week -- when I lost FIVE lbs. I'm not getting the whole 1,000 in -- closer to 950. It's been nice to add in more fruits and veggies for the carbs. I'm eating leafy greens now!

Anywho, just wanted to note here that my body responded BIG TIME to the additional healthy calories.

Iowa:

I do an hour of cardio (usually jogging/running intervals on treadmill 3.5 jog per hour/5.5 run per hour, 0 incline) three times a week, and an hour of strength training (mostly body weight -- pushup, pullups, lunges, squats, some free weights) two times a week.

How many calories is everyone eating now? I'm still eating 5-600 calories a day.
