Topic: RE: Plateau Buster: Cycle your calories & fitness program...
Finally! 196.2 this morning so now that my body is willing to let a couple of lbs go, I am going to try to kick it into high gear... We walked 8km yesterday and I was so tired by the time we got back home - this isn't a really long walk for us so I don't know why I was so tired... strange...
I still don't know if the calorie cycling worked for me since my loss seemed to follow the same pattern as I have been lately, but at least it gave me a few extra calories when I wanted them - I have been having some really 'hungry days' for the last 4 or 5 days where it seems all I want to do is eat! It's so frustrating - I think it's because my tom is around the corner - I sure hope that is the problem so it can soon GO AWAY!!! :S
Now, c'mon 195!!! lol Ok, so if you're following in my trail, Coreena, it's OK to drop a pound now!! lol

That's great! You will love it :) Make sure you take your binder with you so you can read it over if you get foggy on what you're supposed to be doing - the nurses don't seem to be all that familiar with what you should be doing/eating/drinking after wls & will sometimes bring you stuff you shouldn't have, so if you know what you should & shouldn't be swallowing you will feel more confident and at ease (btw, I'm not saying the nurses are bad, but I don't think they get a lot of training in wls). Make sure you get up and get the blood circulating asap and don't be afraid to ask for pain meds or whatever when/if you need them :)
I don't know how long I was in recovery either - too many drugs!! lol It wasn't as bad as I had myself prepared for though - for having a major surgery & having 85% of my stomach removed, I felt great!!
Good luck & let us know if there is anything you need!

Hey All,
Well Tuesday is the big day for my surgery.Gotta admit I am a little bit nervous but excited.I do have a reaction to anasthetic so I am nervous about that. looking forward to this surgery though.
I know the exact time of my surgery Tues.
The whole procedure lasts about 1 hour does it ? How long were you in recovery for ?

Hey, it's always good to see a new number! I'm same here with the 199-198. Maybe it's a level that the body halts to make some adjustments before we kick it into nexty gear!
I'm trying to remember back 3yrs ago, and what hubby and I recall is it took forever to get from 204 to 199, and then it too forever again to get down to 190. But once I got there, it flew and next I knew I was at 180. So what I am guessing is that 25lbs is a real challenge but when we get over that hump we're good again for a while. And I notice there is a big big big difference with that 25lbs and our sizes!!
....but who knows??? LOL

I'm down to 197.8 finally, but I still haven't really lost anything since the first of the month - I've been up & down & up & down - I'm off my game somehow & need to find my way back!! :S
