Strange question, I know



Recommended Posts

:eek: I used to be a figure skater and a cross country track runner, could my body remember that? I have been walking 60 minutes twice a day and not lost any weight. My "apron" has gone down and my legs are more muscular, my pants are starting to fall off, but the scale is not moving. Anyone else with this problem. I don't think the body can remember that far back can it?:help:

The scale doesn't show it sometimes but I've lost a pant size plus a little more. Bra size is FINALLY going down if just a tad.

I need to excercise though.

thanks everyone. I am so worried that my lack of weight loss will adversely affect my surgery. I was so athletic as a youngster, as I said before, figure skating, cross country track, tennis team ROTC color guard etc... I hope that is all it is. I weigh myself on the same scale at work and I work in a hospital so I assume it is correct. I also resist weighing every day since I pass the scale a hundred times a day.

I was told by my trainer that because I was active in my teens and extremely flexable when I was younger I would be able to get that back because Our bodies remember things.

Like we have all heard about the fat cells not going away just shrinking and that they remember being fat. Our Muscles remember doing the active things.

I believe that being active when I was younger helped me a lot - I've always been quite athletic, if not gifted, then certainly competent at most things. If nothing more, I grew up playing sport and gained a love of being active that motivated me to exercise later on in life.

Yes, muscle has memory. Keep doing what you are doing and you'll be there soon.

This made my day.

For years I worked in retail and my legs, butt and back were rock hard.

Then I got a cush job and over the years got flabby.

I hope these muscles remember me back in the day.

      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.
