Winter Challenge?



Recommended Posts

I've got a question for the vets, did you find it was tougher to stay on plan or lose weight in the winter? I'm thinking I'm fighting evolution. I was losing pretty steady and the only stall I've hit was at three weeks, none since so it might just be a stall. With poor weather I can't get out for walks as often and I'm not very dedicated to exercise. What do you think, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I suggest getting a recumbent exercise bike (new or used) and parking it in front of the TV. The TV helps with the monotony and it keeps your metabolism going!

What winter challenge..... :huh: Couldn't help it......a Florida stab........ The stalls are gonna happen and they will take a toll on your desire to continue to exercise... DO NOT GIVE UP......That is the time to make even more effort to get to a gym or bundle up and go outside......do whatever you have to do to keep getting in the exercise. That will break the stall, but more importantly it will solidify your resolve to maintain the change in your lifestyle that must include exercising. ;)

Hi...I am 3.5 years out and I hit a stall at about the same time you are (about 6 months out). It's normal and has nothing to do with the season. You've lost 85 lbs in 5 months! That's incredible. But I just wrote yesterday in my blog the difference between the One Year Sleeve, the Two Year Sleeve and the Three Year Sleeve, so you might want to read it. Bottom line, is that get as much weight off as you can in the first year! http://www.queenofcrop.com/

Good luck and keep at it!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
