Hi, I'm 50 (female) and 3mnth post-Op. Start weight 330lbs, now 279lbs. I feel like I should be losing more weight. I worry I'm eating to many Cals. My daily cals are from 1000-1200 and my protein is about 120g. I work out 4x week. Any suggestion on food intake and less cals? I'm really good with my proteins, and have cut out some fruits.

Thanks

Why not ask your NUT?

You've lost 51 pounds in 3 months and you're worried it's too slow?? Average it out. That's phenomenal.

You need to be a little more realistic about your weight loss. You're doing great. Although I personally feel that your calories are a little high as early out as you are, it certainly hasn't hindered your loss.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You're doing just fine.

What are your work outs ? Cardio...weight training.......combination of both?

How is your Water intake ?

Maybe drop all fruits if you can stand it.

Sounds like you are getting things done well. Keep after it.

It sounds like you are doing wonderfully!!!

The one thing that my NUT told me was NO carbs from starchy veggies, bread, Pasta, rice, sugar, flour or potatoes. But that doesn't seem to be a problem, as you have lost a significant amount in a short time. 120 gms of Protein sounds high, is that what your NUT has told you? If your NUT recommended less, then that can save calories, you could replace the excess protein choices with non-starchy veggies.

Congratulations on your success!!

• 51 lbs is great. My NUT only wants me to take in 60-80 grams Protein with 64 oz Fluid. Not allowed fruits. Maybe you can try talking to your NUT and they can help but it sounds like you're really doing great. I too worried about being slow compared to others but each of our journeys will be different. Try not to be hard on yourself or to compare.
