    1500 cal a day, and walk 10,000 steps a day. I lost 30 pounds this way. I was 170 and got to 140. 800 cal a day is crazy and will cause binge eating.

    I went from about 180 to 105 with diet and exercise. I started out eating three poached eggs and three pieces of dry toast. I signed up for a women’s exercise class at the local jc. As soon as I heard they were going to I let the instructor know that I was going to drop the class. She said give it a chance. I thought I was dying just trying to go a mile but I stuck with it. Soon I was addicted to the natural high it gave me. I then decided to cross train for triathlons. I ended up running at least 6 miles a day six to seven days a week. Plus I was doing a 40 to 50 mile bike ride at least three times a week plus a 1 to 2 mile swim. It worked, I know not everyone has the time for that kind of training but it is possible to exercise 1 hour a da 4 to 5 days a week. When I started I was extremely anemic and tried ferrous sulfate and had terrible stomach pains. I switched to ferrous gluconate (so). That made all the difference. I added different things to my diet, mainly salads and vegetables. I cut out red meats and the all meat. I only used oriental rice wine vinegar or fresh lemon on my salads. I eventually gained the weight back I kept the weight off for 13 years. But thanks to you I am trying again width realistic goals. At 76 it’s not going to be easy but I can’t stand myself like this. But you inspire me. With real desire and determination I know I can do it.

    I would definitely stop the early bird cocktails and see if that helps. I have seen several ig friends have to stop those types of things after they upset their stomachs. A few of them had bariatric surgeries in the past as well. I hope you are feeling better! I set out veggies while cooking dinner as well. It helps the whiny kids be less whiny and that is a huge win for me.

    Hey Jen - just before reaching the age of 40, I started (another) weight loss program. I began having major upper GI pain. As it turns out, I had gallstones which created tremendous pressure and pain. I had the gall bladder removed, and that fixed the pain. This is probably not your issue, but just an FYI.

    I had VSG and once my weight loss tapered off I went on a generic semiglutide. It has helped me so much. I felt hungry all the time after the VSG and it has made that pretty much go away.
    800 calories is really low, but I’m going to be honest, if I even ate 1500 I would gain weight. My calorie requirement to maintain my weight is very low.

    I tried Ozempic (same as Semiglutide and Wegovy).... everything tasted like metal, I got bad breath, horrible acid reflux and nauseousness..... I only lost a couple pounds a month and when I came off of it I gained all of it back plus a lot more (and I'm not eating anymore) and the weight gain was all in my stomach..... I then started looking on social media and found its common.... never again. Don't waste your time with it. You look great.

I went to a wellness dr and got a script and pre authorization form and I already feel better. May be the placebo affect but I also hav my peleton and gym in my garage and I joined a gym. Trying to lose this chemo weight! So annoying! They recommend I eat around 900 calories and I’m eating around a thousand a day but def have a decreased appetite!! For sure checking out helix!!!

  • @coverscornersurburbanhomes6235

    I'm glad that you got your stomach stuff figured out. I was actually going to suggest that maybe it was an irritation and/or acid reflux as it sounds just like what I was going through. It is super hard to cook for others when we don't feel like eating. I'm not sure if you've considered following Noom or not. I've been using them since January and love it. I was a LONG time WWer, but I kept saying...how am I supposed to MAINTAIN the weightloss if I don't know how many calories I'm eating on the plan? With Noom, I have learned so much. My starting weight was 219..my daily calorie goal is 1420 and I never feel like I'm starving. I'm down to 196 right now. I hope that you keep heading in the right direction with your stomach and health! Thanks for sharing! ~ Stephanie

    I had RNY gastric bypass surgery and I have NEVER heard of Topamax being used for weight loss. I take Topamax and it’s to prevent seizures. It’s indicated to help with migraines.
    I was put on Topamax when I had an out of the blue, one time seizure in 2015 and I’ve been taking it ever since then. It never helped me lose additional weight, idk where that comes from!

    I had barbaric surgery 10 years ago, and the 800 calories is for the 1st year following surgery, not as far down the line as you are. I typically eat 1500 calories a day because I'm satisfied with that, sometimes go up to 2000, and I've maintained my weight.ive even gone through the stomach issues also .I think you are on the right track using my fitness pal and going to a nutritionist nutritionist. Keep going, stay motivated, and don't give up.

    Hey 👋 Jen. I am so glad your stomach is better. I have suffered with stomach issues since I had my gallbladder removed and that was 28.5 years. It has destroyed my life, I feel sick 24/7 and it has never changed. My doctor is awful and basically ignores me, I have had a couple of doctors over this time and none of them did a thing. I eat like a bird no joke I try to have cereal every morning as I have that big word lol gastro something ( really bad reflux disease). If I have cereal then I won’t feel like eating until dinner and because I feel sick it’s hard to find something to eat that won’t make it worse. I am so glad that things have settled because I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer the way I do. Great video I really enjoyed the conversation and how you are feeling better. Hugs 🤗

Try telling our Medicare members that CMS doesn't feel that weight loss drugs are necessary for Medicare! Yeah! I agree, 800 calories a day?

    Hi Jen, I watched your video yesterday and I cannot believe the advice these people gave you! What era are these people living in, do they not keep up with modern medicine etc.?? As a type 2 diabetic I've used Ozempic and was sick for months, these meds are no joke and should only be used by diabetics (type 2). Yes I lost weight, no duh I was sick and nauseous the WHOLE time. I stopped using and using a low dose of Trulicity now. Low and slow keep doing what you are doing as a fulltime working mom WITH a YT channel. Only thing I would change (but only my 2 cents) is go slow on the energy/powders etc. AND the low calorie stuff/packaged foods etc. Good luck and I enjoy your videos/journey!

    But I’ll tell you from experience. If you decide to go the “Rx” way , mounjaro worked so much better for me than Ozempic…. Side effect wise. Never vomited until I was switched to Ozempic, and that was for insurance purposes. You know how that goes.

    Hey Jen, I, too, have been dealing with chronic iron, anemia and low hemoglobin. I have been doing a ton of iron supplements as well, but more than natural route with using beef liver, which has seem to help. I am a heavy coffee drinker also and probably ingest way more caffeine than I should. I wanted to point this out to you because I know you love your caffeine as well. I was reading, a book the other day on how to fix your iron deficiency, and one of the things that the book said you absolutely should not have is coffee or caffeine in anyway because it actually binds what iron you do have in your body to itself and flushes it out of your body. I was shocked to read that! but I thought I would let you know, as hard as it may be to cut back on the coffee and caffeine. It might help some. Hope this makes sense. I’m voice texting.😂

    I had the gastric bypass back in 2016. I lost over 112 pounds but for my height, I’m still considered overweight. I haven’t had any stomach problems at all unless I over eat. I have low iron also and have had 3 iron infusions in the last 5 years. I have other medical situations that give me so much problems. Even after the infusions, I don’t feel any different and the fatigue hits me several times a day. Yes, I need to exercise more but because of other problems, I can’t do anything strenuous. Would I do it again, probably so, because I felt like a million bucks while I was going to the gym. I would have continued if I had not injured my shoulder doing extreme aerobics in the pool and had to have surgery. I really need to get started back especially on the treadmill. If I’m consistent, I feel so much better. I do have problems absorbing medications that I take and that has been an ongoing problem. Everything you do is one step at a time. Very interesting perspective from your doctor. Thanks for sharing!! Plus, paying for a membership, I’m more likely to go because I hate wasting money!

    I know it seems harsh and excessive, but if iron infusions are recommended then please do it! I spent 16 months experiencing things that I had no idea were tied to iron deficiency: my skin was discolored, my hair was falling out, I had cramps in my feet and legs every time I tried to go to sleep, I couldn't wash my hair without almost passing out. Jen, you are a very smart woman and you know what is best for yourself, but if you are experiencing these things along with excessive blood loss, then consider getting the infusions. Sometimes we don't know what we are missing, and when you start to feel like your old self again, it will all make sense.

That is the only way I can lose weight. the first couple of weeks I was hungry, but then my body adjusted to lower carbs and lower fat. I didn’t eat any of the bars, I saved my calories for fruit and vegetables, I can honestly say that 90% of the time I was not hungry. if I eat 1000 cal a day I gain weight. I also try to walk between a mile and a mile and a half a day. I ate a lot of chicken and some fish. I did not much eat pork or beef. Back on it now trying to get down to 150. My all-time high was 248. last year I started at 230 and went down to 173. On my way now to 150 with 800 cal a day. My blood levels are all fine. I also took a capsule with iron for a while. It was a vegan preparation. It did not hurt my stomach like the regular iron pills do.

    I removed dairy and gluten and eat low carb. Per doctors orders. Basically protein healthy fats veggies nuts seeds and berries. I don’t measure anything and I continually lose weight and never feel hungry. Basically nothing processed.

      I'm making this transition myself. The new "common wisdom" (until something else comes along) is that it's often about _what_ you eat as it is about _how much_ you eat. There is accumulating evidence that highly processed foods can be a big part of the problem. That said, we're all different and one person's solution can be another person's downfall. Glad you've found something that works for you.

    Hey Jen!! I just found out in the last year that I am anemic I actually work in a hospital setting and a couple of the nurses I work with recommended mega food blood builder off Amazon I haven't been consistant but no side effects but one of the nurses she told me that with a month of her taking it she went up to a 14. Maybe something you might want to try. I also had the lap band in 2010. I enjoy your videos thanks for sharing❤😊

    I had WLS and gained my weight back and am working on losing it with WW , walking and water aerobics. My doctor asked if I wanted to try a weight loss medication (not covered by my ins) and we ended up deciding on Contrave. It is lower cost than the injections and has definitely suppressed my appetite. I just feel full so I am not interested in eating ALL the stuff.

    I have tried all the diets...finally decided to try the calorie deficit method. My range is 641 calories to lose 2 pounds a week and 1141 calories to lose 1 pound a week. I have been doing this for a while now and have only lost 3 pounds. If I go over 1141 calories, I gain weight. I get so discouraged doing this. When I say I have been doing this for a while now I mean a few months. I just want to lose 20 pounds and don't think I will ever get there. I feel your pain...at least you are losing...congratulations on your loss so far!!

Thyroid disorder which means I have to take Levothyroxine on an empty stomach with only water for at least one hour but I cannot do that it will inflame my ulcers.

    Wow 800 only calories, that’s hard. Have you tried going gluten free? Forgive if I’m mistaken but don’t you take thyroid medication? Some people with thyroid issues (hypothyroidism) are gluten in tolerant and going gluten free helps lose weight helps with fluid retention etc ( I have Hashimotos hypothyroidism and I am gluten intolerant) if I eat gluten I gain 3 to 6lbs and takes me at least week to reset my digestive system again. 🤪 I also take iron supplements, try taking with magnesium supplement it helps!!

    The problem with exercising an hour a day is that you can never stop. It will help with weight loss and maintaining that loss until you slow down or quit. If you quit, the lbs start coming back. I had major abdominal surgery and was unable to exercise for months. All my hard (HARD) work to lose weight was wasted as the lbs came back quickly.

    When I saw the title for this video, my first thought was, "Did you punch him in the face?" Because that's insane. I'm a little bitter about calorie restriction, though, after many years of struggling to lose and keep off weight. It truly seems like, at least for some of us, the only way to keep weight off is to never stop dieting. And that feels terrible to me. So I'm not dieting right now despite being a size that society deems unacceptable (even though my blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. are all fine). Anyway, I wish you all the best on your health journey--you are awesome!

    There's a lot of health experts that think that the less you eat, the less your body will burn, so you end up in the same place.
    Have you tried IF? I've been reading/listening to Jason Fung, Mindy Pelz, etc.
    I have metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance AND I'm in perimenopause, so losing weight has become almost impossible with calorie reduction. I keep cutting calories more and make no progress. I feel you girl.
    I'm trying IF and low carb (but not Keto and not every day.) We'll see.

    • @lreking8929
      @lreking8929 Год назад

      Two years ago, I lost 54 pounds in 90 days by eating one small meal a day. I did this to prove to my PCP that I could, and he was suitably impressed. But it was no way to live. I felt like an ascetic (see "The Hunger Artist" by Franz Kafka), so I decided to let my body be my guide. Well, thanks, body! I've gained most of it back. My body and "I" obviously have different ideas about my ideal weight. Anyone remember the old "set-point" concept?

    Hey, Jen, sorry you have been experiencing stomach issue and iron deficiency. My best friend had gastric bypass 15 years ago and she started having issues of iron deficiency. She went back to her gastric doctor and he said new surgery patients were automatically put on B12 shots once a month after surgery. She is feeling much better now. Wegovy is what they put my nephew's wife on and she ended up going to the E.R. recently due to nausea/vomiting and dehydration. She has lost 20 lbs. so far and is still taking it. My brother is on Ozempic and has lost 50 lbs. He had mild nausea and diarrhea for the first month. He is fine now. I am Type2Diabetic like my brother is and need to lose 100 lbs. I am debating whether or not to take Ozempic. It is very expensive and is not covered by most insurance. Hope all turns out well for you. I enjoy your videos. Get well soon!

    I had bariatric surgery 8 years ago. I've gained 50 lbs of my 130 lb weight loss back. I was wondering if you still have any stomach restriction left from the surgery. I still have some but I'm having a hard time losing weight. I think I've lost 12 lbs in 3 months! It's so hard. I try to eat 1200-1500 calories a day. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm not eating enough calories. Then other days I wonder if I'm eating too much. It's such a guessing game.

    • @Jen-Chapin

  • @mereblue

    I had stomach problems for 3 years. The doctor did an endoscopy which was normal and multiple doctors said it was GERD. But it turned out to be gallstones. Every time I ate oily foods (even healthy foods like salmon in small quantities) I’d be in pain. An ultrasound finally gave me the diagnosis. Maybe that’s something to consider.

    The hubs had to go to a dietician for a chronic condition and she put him on the Fasting Mimicking diet. It was 800 cal a day for 5 days at a time; 45% carb 45% fat 10% protein. Insane. It's supposed to reduce inflammation and boost immune function plus weight loss. She told him to only do it every other week until maintenance weight and then just once a month after that. I did it with him and we did several rounds for about 6 months. By the end of each 5 days we were starving and the next week we made poor food choices. We didn't lose much weight. Some but not significant.
    The next dietician told us that was too restrictive and not productive and to stop. It's hard to know which provider is giving you the best advice. We are just meal planning and tracking calories, etc. He's down 65# and I'm down 40# since August. Slowly coming off but his labs and MRIs have never been better since his dx.
    Anyways, are you sure your dr. didn't say 1800 calories? 😂 cuz' that makes more sense. 800 is not sustainable for long and we had no energy to do anything.
