Am i eating enough? Surgery in march of 2013



Recommended Posts

Had surgery march of 2013, lost 68 plds to date. Only eating about 650 calories a day. Mostly Proteins and about 60 grams of Protein daily. Even with that amount of calories I am still hitting stalls. I was just wondering what the calorie intake is of others and the 6 month mark. Hope all is well!!!

I had my surgery in march and have lost 102lbs with no stalls ...I am at 800 calories a day and 60 g of Protein ...every person is different but it is true what they say, you have to eat to lose

I would check with your nutritionist.... lots of people have stalls including myself :( but sometimes you have to increase the calories to lose, its that ol' metabolism thing !!! You have to fuel the body just like fueling a car - - no gas you don't go anywhere !!! So think of your body as a car :)

I was hitting stalls when I was eating very little calories each day, I bumped up to 1200 and am losing steadily again.

So I'm guessing I need to bump up my food!!!

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

      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! 😞
