Oh Michelle - I am pondering plastics too - I am more concerned about the recovery time more than anything...after having hernia repair and having to start all over again I don't want to have to worry with another recovery and the time it takes to get back on track with running and working out. I may just let you be the…

Great! Haven't gained weight yet but I can see how it could happen very easily! My appetite is horrendous and my choices aren't always the best. I am going to check it out! Thanks.

First things first - congrats on hitting your goal!! I am 5'10" and I am around 157+/- . My nut has me on 1800 cals a day because of my activity level. I eat 200-300 cals every 2-3 hours in order to get it in. It scared me to death to eat that much in the beginning but I have maintained my weight eating that amount. Now I…

Normally for my long runs I eat 2 slices of wheat toast with cream cheese and a banana. - and a protein shake after. So I will stick with that and have some pasta the night before i guess.

I have seen both success and failure with the lapband. Often people who get the lapband end up going back for bypass or the sleeve. Have you considered the sleeve? I personally chose RNY because it was permanent and I didn't like the fact that the band can erode through your stomach and slip as well, but ultimately the…

You got this!! Those 2 weeks will pass by quicker than you can imagine - just keep your eye on the prize!!!
-
That's about right - just be careful - at about this point you can eat more and tolerate more so its more important now to make sure you are journaling everything!!

Good question maryannelk - I don't know that I had any real expectations of what it would look or feel like when I was done..Honestly I don't feel any different mentally than I did when I was twice my size...so I guess I just need to set some new goals and keep going - because there are ALOT of things that I want to…

Maybe build some more muscle and…

Coming from a morbidly obese mentality to get to where I am plus being a gastric bypass patient I have to be careful with making poor choices. I am funny about slipping back into bad habits - yes I do have cravings - some I satisfy others I push through. It scares me to even consider the thought of going backwards - so I…

It's called "body combat" - it's an aerobic kickboxing class - 60 minutes non-stop - studies have shown that you can burn up to 700 cals per hour (so they say) - the TaeBo is the closest classification I could find in MFP - it is the most awesome class I have ever taken.
-
I am supposed to get 1800 cals a day according to my nutritionist my TDEE is around 1550. I have a hard time eating 1800 cals much less eating back exercise cals - unless I eat higher fat food - which I don't want to do....maybe I should drink a higher cal protein shake or add another shake in somewhere - I eat every…
