Sheesh, no wonder you're hungry! Yogurt, shakes, protein bars & some peanuts? I'd be hungry too without the workouts added in. I'd ditch them & go for dense protein instead. The shakes, bars etc I use them as extra, or to bump up my protein goals, not in place of.
I'd suggest that b4 your workout at the gym, eat dense protein, not bars or a shake, it'll leave you feeling fuller longer & you'll be able to power your way thru your workouts & do the same thing after your workout, it'll help with the grazing.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

I have gained slightly, I think it is because I introduced more carbs as well....I am having a hard time cutting the grazing.....

One of the vets told me to drink something before eating. Sometimes we are thirsty and our bodies tricks us to think we are hungry. I always make myself a cup of coffee or something while cooking.
Thank you for the nice response appreciate it!

You're response is on point I am only 4 weeks post op but I've had long conversations with my surgeon about my desire to exercise. At this point I'm only cleared to walk but before surgery I started weight training and hope to return to it very soon. My surgeon strongly recommends strength training and cardio 2-3x/ week.
I agree and strongly believe that WLS Is a tool we have been given and we have to put in work to see and maintain long term success.
are you gaining from it?

Hello All,
I had been more sick since 4th of July since I had RNY 5 1/2 years ago. I went to my Primary Care Physician this morning. He diagnosed me with Lyme Disease. I will be on antibiotics for 3 weeks. He said it seems we caught it early which is a good thing.
The reason I am posting this is to see if anyone post op has had to deal with this. If so, any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
One interesting thing is as a result of appetite I have lost 5 pounds....still how I have felt is not at all worth it!

I exercise 5-7 times a week for a minimum of 90 minutes. Gym sessions are split between cardio and weights. Issue I am facing is hunger. I am hungry and it is leading me to graze. I am trying to nip in the bud now. my normal day looks as follows.
7 am -Breakfast - Quest Bar
10 am -Morning snack - Danon light and fit yogurt & 25 peanuts
12 pm - Lunch - Protein rich usually under 350 calories.
2 pm - Afternoon Snack - Cheese stick.
5:30 pm - protein bar or shake
6 to 7:30 - Gym
8 pm - I graze while I am getting supper ready.
I am really hungry from Gym time until I get home and then it seems I start and am not able to stop. I take in 1200 - 1500 calories per day. Bodybuilder/trainer friend tells me I should be at or around 1900 calories per day. I am resisting.
Anything stick out that I could do different?
stupid question is the salomon hydration vest is it heavy. I know I am going to be having some very long runs ahead of me and since my race is trail i like to do run the trails as much as I can but it is the water issue. My trainer also would like to see me loops once in awhile so I can get use to running the same route over and over again during a run since my 50k is is running the same trail 4 times. She wants me mentally be ready for it. She said it will be hard to stay focus. We feel it will be the third loop that will be the one to give me problems. Get though that and the 4th time will be get through this and you are done. Happy training.
