Need to increase calorie intake?!



Recommended Posts

Small rant warning

Ugh I've been stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake because I know it's too low even though I don't fell hungry throughout the day. I don't want my body to stay in starvation mode which is why I feel like in not losing weight. It's hard to increase my calories. Any suggestions for good foods that will help me increase my calorie intake to keep thos weight moving?

This is an odd post. How many calories are you eating? you give very little information to go on.

Second, starvation mode as most people know it is a complete myth. Chances are you need to cycle your calories a bit, meaning one day you need to eat more of your calories from carbohydrates than usual and see where that gets you.

miangr

per your profile - i see B) you were sleeved June18th ;)

your starting weight was 312

you have successfully lost 41 lbs!!!!

bringing you to the magic # of 271!!!!! WooHoo WooHoo!!!! party dance party dance :lol:

Protein bars are yummy, they can have alot of calories, and carbs too :angry:

on an occassion, having one is terrifice - terrific taste ;)

some/many (me) OP try and stay away from Protein Bars cuz they are so good, (kindof like candy bar?? :huh: )very addicting

some people do adjust their calories when a stall hits - to shake things up a bit

"assuming" I need to increase.................

hmmmmm - i "assume" LOL you know what happens when you "assume" something??? :o

You make an assssss out of you and me :lol:

you are only 7 weeks PO

discuss with your NUT your situation/concerns

she is the only one that OFFICIALLY should direct you to your calorie intake

many/most times - you just have to "ride" out a stall

some people might change this or that about their daily routine, and the stall breaks

but whose to say if these changes helped break the stall

or the stall was gonna break on its own

coincidentally the same time changes were made???? :wacko:

you are doing great with your weight loss

41 lbs!!!! :o OMG!!!!

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
