Topic: RE: Juicing

Juices, even vegetable juices, are liquid calories that won't keep you satisfied as long as eating whole food.  Just eat those vegetables.  :)

Topic: RE: Juicing

Thanks for your post.  I'm interesting in juicing, partly because I am trying to follow a plant based whole foods diet and I want to get as many nutrients in as possible.  I've been making a green juice that is satisfying, and has about 150 calories - it includes a cucumber, a stalk of celery, about one inch of fresh ginger root, 1 peeled lemon, and 1 small apple.  I'm almost 6 years post op and have put back about 20 lbs - I'm convinced that I can take the weight off with proper nutrition and exercise.  Wish me luck!

Just approach a professional physician for the better help. There are many factors that promote weight gain in women and men. You need to choose right foods and also make few changes in lifestyle. It is never hard to get slim body, but need some patience and dedication.

Like I said, it is obviously working for you... just be careful not to eat too much at one time...

Topic: RE: Daily Calories ??

I'm down another 5 pounds since I left the message. The last time I met with a dietitian I was told to stay at around 600 cal a day. With the rate I am burning cal thats not possible. If I burn 900 and only take in 600 I'm going to starve myself. I'm not eating 1800 every day. That's just the most I've seen. Yesterday I ate 1361 and burned 1137. I go see my dr next month. Hopefully I can get this straight. I have a BMI of 29 so I have nothing to complain about. My normal weight is right around the corner!

If what you are doing is working then stick with it. My only concern is 1800 calories is a lot of calories to eat being you are that far out - quantity wise. If you are eating that much you should be eating like 6 times a day 300 calories. Whether you are burning it off or not, your pouch is only so big and you don't want to overfill it.

Many people here suggest not eating the exercise calories. I would say if you are hungry, eat some of them... if not- it is not necessary.

You are just coming up on 6 months out from surgery. It will start to get harder to lose at some point and you may need to adjust.

I am new to this forum...previously I had a LapBand, which needed to be removed after 20 months due to excessive reflux issues. I lost nearly 100 pounds...and have regained some of the weight to the point of choosing to have the RNY procedure to improve my health. Both my Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension have returned.

I have done all of the prep work necessary, and am scheduled to meet with the surgeon next week. 

Post band, I did experience some thinning of my hair. Most difficult for me was the almost total loss of my eyelashes. I am a poster child for compliance, got my fluids and protein, and vitamins daily. I even have taken Biotin, which I am unsure if that even helped. 

Has anyone else ever lost their eyelashes post op? What has helped with minimizing hair loss post op? And for me, eyelashes post op? 

Any and all insights and information will be appreciated! 

It is not normal to lose your eyelashes. You need to see a dermatologist.
