4months post op at a standstill super confused. Feeling like a failure

[Stinab64 4]

My Nut has had to tell me twice now to up my calories because I am not losing! I was doing 300 - 500 ... and then 600-800 and still no loss. Now I am to max out at 1100 and hopefully I'll see the scales move. At my weight....it should be moving WITHOUT exercise... so I have to get it moving and then kick my butt in exercise...which I hate... so that's going to be difficult.

So...for anyone who says we have "taken the easy way out"..... they can just.... hmmmmmmmmmmm

Nurse rosemary,

You are not eating enough Protein. And exercising too much. Need to increase caloric intake. And maybe change doctors! You should be treated with respect. What you have gone through is a trauma to your body, and you need support. A stall is quite common, just introduce new foods and it will help get you going again. Let me know how you are doing. Good luck.

I am 4 months out and was going thru the same thing. I talked to my diatician and increased my calories to 1000-1100 because I wasnt eatting enough. I was constantly hungry and found myself snacking a lot. I started working out 5 days a week and my body was in starvation mode. Now I use my fitness pal and track every single thing that goes into my mouth and all of my activities. I have only one protien shake a day by primer protien bc its 30g of protien a day and only 1g of sugar. I love all their flavors. Usually I have it for Breakfast with a greek yogurt. I also plan every single meal and snack for the day and put it in my fitness pal the day before. If its not in my lunch box or recorded in my fitness pal it doesn't touch my lips. Someone told me this and it has really been my montra and what keeps me so on track and dedicated to the daily planning: If you fail to plan you plan to fail. And since I have been living by this the last few weeks the scale has been finally moving.
