imsoglad56 402 Posted January 19, 2015 It's great to see at least some people have nuts and surgeons that don't believe in starving their patients after surgery! Kindle, I agree! And it seems to be working pretty well. Just over 4 months and I've lost 83 pounds and my husband has lost 80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigloser2014 144 Posted January 29, 2015 I am 38 weeks post surgery. I think that I eat more calories and carbs than most posting here. I track everything on MFP and track an average of 1000-1100 calories a day, 100 to 120 gms of carb & same amount of Protein. I also do intense strength training and cardio 5 times a week with 350 to 600 calories burnt according to my Polar watch. Can't be too much wrong with that since I have lost a 100 lbs so far! Just not as quickly. I have lost about 10 lbs per month and for the last 3-4 months, it's been 5-7 lbs per month. I am happy though! One thing I notice: When I was working out a lot and not eating enough calories and carbs, I stalled and felt bad overall. Now, I feel great and full of energy. On the flip side, I also know that if I am to stop exercising like I do, I will have to reduce my calorie and carb intake. For now, I think I have got how this works for me!
