Can't Eat

OMG! Doctor wants me to eat more!!! Really!?!? I am 8 months out. I past my doctors goal by 5 lbs. I know I shouldn't complain but I had the surgery to lose the weight not try to gain it back. I just can't seem to eat enough though. I am suppose to eat 1200 calories but I am lucky to get in 800. Just the smell of food make me feel sick. Anyone got out there been told to gain some back?

I wouldnt worry. If you are at your goal then be happy. Why does your doctor want you to put on 5 pounds? And that can be done with water.

I am only 5 weeks postop but I just don't enjoy eating anymore. Nothing appeals to me....I eat cuz I have to. I guess that is the way it should be. My NUT says to say under 40g carbs to continue losing. She isn't recommending increasing it at all right now.

I think you should enjoy it and just realize that this is your time to be the person you want to be. No longer is food a dictator in ur life, relish in this time all u can:)
