Brief background, all my dieting failed, I loved nutrisystem, but just could stay on it past 6 months. Now, I am in a pre-op situation. I was to stop the nutrisystem, and eat regular meals. It took a while, but now I am building my own meals. Never spiced or rubbed s chicken before in my life, until now. I can pass fast food joints, even when I am hungry. Grabbing an apple is second nature, and I push for better fiber count. I actually watch cooking shows for ideas of what I could cook up. Two months, I lost 15 lbs of my starting 394. I haven't felt better. Normally, if I lost 15 lbs, I'd hit a pizza as a "celebration.". No desire for that now, just want to tick off another 2 lbs. My only problem is perhaps not enough vegetables, and need better meal scheduling. So, I feel like I could keep doing this, and maybe won't need surgery. Or am I falling into a trap?

Discuss your situation with the doctor, or the staff dietician. I am a mid 40's male, and I have a limit of 1800 calories, 40% carb, 30% fat and protein. I usually end up at 1300 a day. (More guidelines that just that of course). Your BMR, depending on age size.... Should be a lot more than 1000 calorie. Once you start eating right, you will be more full, like eating protein that take longer to digest. Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app
