Gastric Bypass - NEW LOSS after Maintaining 1.5 Years Part 1

2.5 years out. maintained for over 1.5 years. and now a new steady loss!

i'd rarely get to 1200 cals a day, but included it as the extreme amount i'd take in to maintain. i'd usually eat 800-1000 cals (which is already low, but my body takes that low amount to maintain). i'm well aware that my current caloric intake (mainly around 550 cals) is extremely low for most people. but, i get up to 80g of protein a day and lots of "good" veggie carbs. i still eat more now than right after surgery though. every body and its functioning is different. and, if you watch my 2nd video, you'll see that i'm concerned about the low amount of calories it takes my body to lose weight.

please watch part 2!

Are you still taking all your vitamins,iron and calcium citrate everyday? I ask because i dont get hungry and i dont eat right sometimes. i worry about it though.Take care of yourself. are you going to Vegas?

yep! multiple times a day daily! i get in around 80g of protein and 100oz of water as well, plus healthy veggies.

unfortunately, i can't make it to vegas. i wish i were going though!

sometimes i think we get stuck on what we haven't accomplished (like goals that involve arbitrary numbers) and don't realize what we actually have accomplished. =)

I know I already said this on twitter, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! (and your hair looks so pretty in this vid!)

Oh, what was the low result?? Mind sharing?

[meltingmamamelted]

I believe it - I do. (I've gained 20-30 lbs just in the last year.)

every body is different and it seems like people just don't get it. guidelines aren't for everyone, they're for the average person. i'm not average. & neither are you. i get in at least 100oz of water a day, not including other fluids, at least 80g of protein, all my vitamins & minerals. i think i'm healthy. i maintain at around 850 cals. not normal. after over 1.5 yrs, i know the numbers & have played around w/them & know what works for my body. i'm not hungry or deprived. thanks for the info!

If you're taking all your vitamins and calcium citrate, getting in all your protein, drinking enough, etc., and when you get your bloodwork done, things look good - I wouldn't worry too awfully much. I have an extremely low BMR. EXTREMELY. Prior to WLS, on an 1100 calorie a day diet, with 6 days a week strong exercise, I lost 1/2 lb in 6 weeks. 1/2 lb! I've lost slowly after my VSG, too (in relation to others). My cals for loss? Bout 850 to 950 a day, or I stall.  Yep. Me too.

@meltingmamamelted i am 5'9" and i GAINED 5 lbs on 1400 cals/day. actually, i gained 5 lbs on 1250 cals/day.

so now i am up 5 lbs and my body is used to the extra calories and i have to figure out how i am going to cut back to 1000 cals/day.

my bmr was just tested twice -- the second time was to verify the awfully low result from the first test.
