Eventually, I just accepted that's what my body would do...and I made sure to keep a pair of pants on hand a size smaller than I was wearing. I learned my lesson after three months of waking up one day to find all of my pants falling off and having nothing to wear to work. A nice problem to have, but it lost its charm after a while.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541063560610380587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492790587701187452.post-89460089637417401652007-05-11T08:52:00.000-07:002007-05-11T08:52:00.000-07:00I really believe this 100%.

Post-op, I couldn't wait to get back to it. <BR/><BR/>I will say that I have a theory about post-op and working out: We can only eat so much to fuel our bodies and if we workout hard (which I have tendancy to do) our bodies stay in starvation mode longer than others might. Eventually the weight comes off, because I see big drops all of a sudden, but I seem I suffer more plateaus than most. <BR/><BR/>Great information.

Get started early! <BR/><BR/>I am feeling so super-charged by my workouts now with my trainer, I can't even describe how much I love it!<BR/><A HREF="http://www.iamunrecognizable.com" REL="nofollow">Dagny</A>Dagnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928337092304061390noreply@blogger.com
