Will be week 3 post op tomorrow. Last Thursday I started the gym again.I really get it in the whole 45 minutes.I also started boot camp which is resistance training yesterday. Since last week I haven't Lossed. I am only eating between 300 and 400 Cal's a day.i am even gaining. Not alot a pound here and there. Should i be up to a certain daily cal? Am I in starvation mode? Help! Getting frustrated . I am very lo carbs. .just chicken yogurt cottage cheese eggs. What should i do?I also drink about 100oz a day.following rules to the t.

300-400 is way low!!

wow flab u less!! Im not an expert, but 300-400 calories doesn't seem like enough!! I would be falling over at that number. Are you loosing inches? I have noticed I haven't had these huge weight loss that some are experiencing, but my clothes are bigger and I have went from a size 20 to a size 16. I had my surgery on the 19th and I can still tell there are times that, for what ever reason, I'm retaining Water....my wedding ring is usually very loose and there are times when it is hard to get off. So some could be that.

I would suggest you eat a little more.....(not for sure about the starvation mode). But also It seems like you are trying to stick to a high protein/low carb diet which is what I am doing with good results, but my numbers are more like 800calories/60 protein/30 carbs I have lost about 26 pounds in 4 weeks. but we all are different.

But although yogurt and cottage cheese are good for you, they do have carbs.

Keep up the good work!! You are going to wake up one day and see that you have lost several pounds over night and wonder how that could have happened!! The body is a mysterious thing. Im proud of you for working to establish your routine that includes good eating habits and exercise. Thats half the battle.

Thanks waiting. We got banded the same day! Ok upping Cal's.

Your body is in starvation mode, that's not even half the calories a day you should be eating. I'd up the calories to 900-1000 a day and go heavy on the Protein.

I'm in agreement your body is in starvation mode you need lots of more calories especially from protein.

My nutrcian said that those Cal's were ok. Wait another week and see if i am still gaining. So I have decided to push my Cal's up. Thanks all. I will keep u posted!
