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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
