too many calories, but not too much food

[cookiebun 9]

I am about 5 weeks post op and I am still stalled. I am following my dr and NUT program of what to eat at this point.

I am finding that my calories are going higher than I want (about 1000 or so). I eat fish and chicken most night. I have cottage cheese every day since it is the most settled food in my belly. I also have milk every night. I know my calories are high because of my dairy, but I can't give up my dairy. I actually crave dairy like some people crave sweets.

Does anybody have any suggestions to help break my stall?

Also I have been trying to walk every day. I had complications after surgery so I am not up to going to the gym yet, but I go to the mall and walk for at least a half hour almost every day.

Getting frustrated...

Maybe go to almond milk. Every low in calories compared and much better for you.

Im still pre op but have been on here awhile and this seems to be a common thing having a stall 4 to 5 weeks out do some searching for those threads but it will happen your body is still adjusting, just follow doctors and NUT. ..good luck

Just keep going. Stalls are normal. And they do pass. Just keep with what they recommend and get a little more exercise to shake things up. Your body is a wonderful machine that always adjusts to preserve itself and right now we have all put it into a tailspin. So stalls are just your body readjusting and it will get used to the current situation and eventually get comfortable enough again to let go of the fat.

Can't give up dairy or won't give up dairy?

As long as it's lowfat dairy!

I do a few swaps to low fat where I won't miss it like yogurt, sour cream, and cottage cheese. Cheese however has to have some fat, nonfat tastes like rubber!

It is reduced fat milk and 1% cottage cheese.

I suppose I WONT give up my dairy. I was told it is good for us to get the Protein and the Calcium, so for me the dairy seems like a win win... I LOVE it and I want it to love me too!
