Hi. Nice to see a nerd thread that's somewhat active. I'm Christine, just turned 65, in Canada, and a life long nerd. My son (24) and I follow what he calls the five fandoms: Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter and LOTR (the latter more his than mine). Our mother/son activity is going to Comic Cons. He cosplays…

Female, surgery age 57, now 61 RNY Dec 15, 2016 HW 274 (at programme orientation March 2016) Surgery Weight 239 Lowest Weight 137 Loss of 137 lbs Regain of 42lbs since Jan 2019 Current Weight 176 Loss of 3.6 lbs this week. Back to basics!! Weighing, measuring and tracking.

I agree that 800 cal seems low for how far out you are. I'm 3 yrs post op next month and I eat in the 1200 to 1300 range most days, 1500ish on gym days. I eat 90gto 100g of protein per day from food. Because you're eating such a low amount it's possible your body is holding on to everything because your not feeding it…

Hi, I'm in sw Ontario and had RNY Dec 15, 2016. I had no issues with the pre op Optifast diet if that's what you're talking about. Honestly, it's a suck it up moment. It's something we need to do in order to have the safest possible surgery. There will be many more suck it up moments along the way. You have to focus on why…

Hi. Just bought my Inspire HR last night and figuring things out. Installed the app on phone and tablet. Dumb question, but where do I find my username? I set everything up with my gmail.

Our programme is part of our provincial healthcare. After Dr. referral we attend a group orientation and it's our choice if we choose to proceed. We have a series of appointments with nurse, dietitian and social worker and are introduced to our new dietary requirements and lifestyle. We're expected to follow their…

The programme here stresses that we must change our choices and lifestyle in order to have the best chance of success with our new tool. We have multiple appointments with a nurse, dietician and social worker to help us make these changes. Inability to make the necessary changes can mean a delay in getting approval for…

Depends on your clinic. I had a 5 month gap from last trio until meeting the surgeon because of the cpap stuff. But then it moved very quickly. I was offered a surgery date for 2 weeks later but opted for 4 weeks to give work more notice. I was through Guelph.

Hi, I'm Christine, 58 yr old female. Had RNY in Guelph Canada on Dec 15 2016, so 3 months post op this week. Height 5'1 Highest weight 274.8 lbs Surgery weight 239 lbs Current weight (yesterday) 201 lbs Goal weight 150ish lbs Was 22 to 26 pants 2x to 3x top Now 16 petite pants and large top

Hi. I had RNY Dec 15 2016. Just started solid foods and doing well so far.

Hi, I'm 2 weeks post surgery. I'm in Ontario Canada and began in the Bariatric programme in March of this year and had my surgery December 15. I used to think surgery was taking the easy way out but, even before I began the programme, had realized it was probably the most difficult route. Do what's best for you and good…

Hi, I'm Christine and I had gastric bypass on Dec 15/16

My husband is diabetic and he gets 135g of carbs per day on instructions from his diabetes educator (nurse specialist) and dietician. He meets that target most days.

My 17 yr old son cosplays 3 Doctors (7, War and 12). We went to 5 cons last year. Our first one this year is in June. My goal is to lose enough weight to cosplay with him. He suggested Ace or Missy.

If it makes you more comfortable while you're competing (i'm thinking spandex biking shorts), go for it.

I just realized I would have to go waaaay back in my food diary to see when I last ate pasta so, thanks for the dinner suggestion. I will be having whole grain spaghetti with extra garlicy sauce for dinner tonight. I do find the whole grain pasta to be more filling therefore I can feel full on a normal sized portion as…

I have a friend who was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 20 some years ago. Until then, I had never heard of gluten. Just glad there are more gluten free products available to her now.

Your calories are pretty low some days. Also some of the things you are eating are packaged foods (Nature Valley bars) which will tend to have higher fat, sugar and carbs. That could be why you're reaching your macros targets well before your calorie target.

Instead of going to a plus size clothing store, you need to go to a specialty lingerie store. Plus size clothing stores do not carry the full range of cup sizes (rarely anything above a DDD cup) although they may carry larger band sizes. They have sold you the wrong size bra.

For a minute I thought it was the name of a new Hawaiian Muppet character.

Good for you. There's nothing wrong with continuing to eat and drink the things you like just eating and drinking less of them. I have done those very strict deprivation diets and found I could fall off them and go full blown binge and eat full meals consisting solely of Cadbury's dairy milk. This time around if I really…

When did it click? 93 days ago and 273 lbs.

This^^ I wandered into one thread the other day and felt like I had stumbled into a cult. All that was missing was the Company song and chants.

My target is 1400 cal/day and I'm usually pretty close to it. I eat 3 meals and at least 2-3 snacks a day and I'm comfortable with it and not feeling deprived at all. I prepare all my meals from scratch and use very little in the way of packaged foods because of a serious food sensitivity so I eat mostly nutrient dense…

I've been considering the Fitbit One over the Flex but have never heard of Amiigo before.

I'm doing 50c 20p 30f and it's working well for me.

OK I was a coach too. Sold and used Herbalife for a long time. When I finally ran out of product (was my own best customer) and could no longer afford to buy it, I still lost weight. A healthy eating plan and exercise is part of what you are encouraged to do. Without the products, but still eating according to the plan you…

I had a friend who used to put some pickle juice in the empty mayo jar instead of scraping the jar then give it a really good shake. Only problem is trying to measure or figure out cals. but it tasted ok

I'm quite sure you didn't gain all of your weight in 13 weeks so you should not expect to lose it in that amount of time. As everyone has already said, your expectations of losing 5lbs per week are unrealistic. A healthy weight loss is a maximum of 2 lbs per week. You may have some weeks where it's a bit more and some a…

I was 192 when I got married almost 25 yrs ago and haven't been under 200 since. That will be the real biggie for me.
