I have a different situation (I think) About 15 years ago I had bariatric surgery (Ruen-Y) I lost 125 lbs and kept it off but I still weight 212lbs and have had heart problems for sometime. I have 5 stints and have small vessel disease so the Dr says lose weight and exercise. Its really hard for me to get in 1200 calories but up to this time it has been "ugly food" all the chips and ice cream carbs. I take several medications...oh also I am a type II diabetic. and before someone gets mean, I know I have abused my body but I need to lose weight I am 59 years old.
For the last 2 months I have been doing a food journal, eating good stuff, NO SALT. veggies, fruits (I hate fruit), No chips, No ice cream, just good stuff, 1 slice of 100% whole grain bread a day, practically NO meat (I can't eat it after the surgery) One of my meds does not allow my heart rate to go over 90. I am riding a bike for 9 miles a day and 2 days a week an hour of water aerobics. In that 2 months I have lost "0" pounds, I am totally discouraged and usually have one day a week that I cry because I am getting no where fast. I need some advice, help, something to tell me what I am doing wrong.
I feel DEFEATED !!!!! My husband who rides with me and is my strongest supporter says its just muscle mass and lots of I look beautiful and great and all that stuff.. That is the ONLY thing that keeps me going out and doing it again....He believes in me
