Not Enough Calories

Hi everyone :)

I got my first fill Sept 10 2013 and I get full with small amounts , I went to the Dr. today and was told I'm not eating enough calories , even though I'm eating 2-3 meals and 2 snacks.

I don't want to go over my calorie intake I've set for myself, I also don't want to feel extremely full , it doesn't feel good at all.

Does anyone else have this problem?

How many calories are you eating and how much does your doctor say you should be consuming?

I'm having the same issue. I'm eating about 800 calories a day but my doc wants me at 1200. I'm full and don't want to over do it.

I agree with Hazel. Just an idea if you eat sf ff instant pudding you can put in a scoop of protein powder.

I'm curious....was it your doctor who said you are not eating enough calories, or someone else?

Hi all thanks for responding.

My Calorie goal is 1200 , I eat like 800-900 calories a day , I get full fast since my fill.

But yesterday I was told that's not enough and when I'm not hungry I should still eat to meet a certain amount of calories .

It's so weird to me...

I struggle with this too. :wacko:

Sorry for the late response, it was my Dr. Who stated my calorie intake was to low.

Does he suggest maybe "drinking" some calories via Protein shakes/shots? Maybe that would work for you? Maybe check with a nutrition store and look for high(er) cal options....or just speak with your nutritionist for suggestions. I've never had a doctor tell me I need to eat more, but I've read it a lot on here. Best wishes :)

I had gotten down to 900 cal, and my weight loss was stalled. My doctor suggested I increased to 1200 cal, and my weight-loss took off again.
