Accountability - What did you eat, Monday 6/4?

I am still loosing weight.. in fact I have only lost 2 pounds over the last 6 weeks.. you would figure I would be loosing weight... I want to loose another 8 pounds to get to 125.

No I dont just exercise on one day.. that is my monday plan..

Tuesday I do 40 of elliptical and 1 hour of step.. my short day

Wed i do pilates, step and work with my trainer..

Thrus. I do step, elliptical and strenght training again.

Fri I do step, pilates and work out with trainer..

Yes I do work.. I have 4 kids I am just dedicated to getting my life on track.

I have tried to move my calories up.. but realized they have slacked off again.. so i need to push them up again.. I am on of those ppl who dont get hungry. I eat by a clock.. I dont like feeling full and have a hard time getting all my fluids and meals in during the day.. I take a long time to eat and have a very picky tummy.. I am not complaining.. i think its great cause I will strunggle less than others cause my pouch keeps me in line..

I am just asking... this.. should I eat more to compensate for my exercise.. is it wise.. the whole calorie in thing calorie out thing.. I dont want to stop loosing either.. ive noticed ppl with wls seem to loose differently and need less calories later on.. so does that mean I shouldnt eat the amount the little calculator says because of our wls difference or is it the same for us.. all grad type questions I would love to learn the answer to.. i am trying to learn to change as my body needs me too.

My nut is not knowledgable with wls ppl and is very young.. I dont trust much of what she says.. i have had to correct her numerous times when she tells me to eat something that is not part of our pouch rules... IE Sugar... so I come here for answers hoping so one may know what I should do to stay healthy, strong and on track

That is unfortunate that you do not have access to a knowledgable nutritionist! It seems pretty silly for the WLS program NOT to have that type of solid resource. You made an interesting statement about "getting my life on track."  by using this excessive exercise and perseverating about how you can't get enough nutrition in to balance it.  You mention you work and have 4 kids, AND go to the gym for 3 hours all 5 days a week? Is that really what you mean by getting your life on track, that is the extent of living is pushing your body for hours at a time? When do you make supper for your kids? When do you go over their homework, how many hours a week do you work? What about a husaband ( I noticed you didn't mention one, but I am not assuming either way, just asking), what about going grocery shopping, cleaning the house, gardening, hobbies, sports with the kids?  It is great you can see the benefit of the surgery changing that you dont get hungry and dont tolerate feeling full (remember when we couldn't GET full?).  So you ask the question again about eating more to compensate for exercise. It is clear in that you choose to continue to exercise for these unrealistic sessions and find sugar free calorie-dense high protein supplements that closely approximate the calorie expenditure, or reduce the workouts to a level that you can more easily accomodate with your current intake and reduce your stress about it. Another question I had was you list your surgeon's goal for you as 150 and your goal as 135, but now you say you want to be 125. I saw your pic and your body looks pretty great, so again, is this realistic for you too? We say we want to lose wt to help us to be happy, and it does help, but if we are not realistic we are getting set up for more problems.  I also commend you for working to try to be in tune to your body's needs, when we are fat we totally tune out our body signals and this is a great skill to practice.
