I'm not eating very many calories per day b/c I'm not hungry most of the time. I am trying to get in my 60 grams of protein by drinking these shakes that have 30 grams per shake . each shake is 160 calories. If I drink 2 per day that is still only a bit over 300 calories. In addition to that, I usually eat maybe 1 or 2 pieces of very thinly sliced deli ham and a piece of thin deli sliced cheese which may throw in another 200 calories. I was told I need to eat way more and that this may be the reason I'm losing slowly. But I don't want to force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.Advice?

I am generally not very hungry either, but I learned that if I let that dictate my diet I would not be successful. I didn't eat enough, I stalled. I ate more, I lost and I mean lost fast. So it's up to you. I had this surgery to lose weight and I want to be successful, and I am sure you do to. Do yourself a favor and put yourself on an eating schedule. It is going to be tough and time consuming until you create a new habitual eating pattern for yourself. But, it will be worth it in how you feel and in the numbers you see on the scale. Let's do this!

I need to decrease my calories to lose. I have been maintaining and I need to get back down to 700-900 calories a day. I normally work out 5 days a week and will burn anywhere from 200-300 calories a day. I start back focusing and cleaning my diet up tomorrow.
