Does anyone have trouble losing weight when eating 1,200 calories? I am finding if I eat more than 1,200 I lose more?

Is starvation mode real? does it really happen? My Fitness Pal says I need 2600 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week, yesterday I ate about 1200, is that enough? Someone help me please.

I just dont see any reason not to tell them you had the surgery? The surgery saved my life!!! I was pushing 600, just my opinion on it
-
not sure, thinking of joining myself

during surgery? You will be out, dont expect anything. After surgery you will be sore for a few days, nothing to bad, just rest and take it easy, stay hydrated.
-
why would you not want them to know? They are going to notice the eating change, I say tell the truth
-
Mari, The biggest reason to have the surgery is for YOU!!! No one else, nothing else but YOU!!!!
