STALLED 1-1/2 YEARS OUT, DEPRESSING CONVERSATION WITH SURGEON -- HELP!

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I have a picture I took of the bulletin board at my surgeon's office that has tips for keeping our metabolism revved. I'll see if I can find it. In the meantime, off the top of my head: exercise, getting enough sleep, fidgeting, eating frequent small meals, staying hydrated will all help.

It's a frustrating situation indeed.

I have basically noticed myself stopping weight loss at 1 year out and tried increasing my calorie intake to 1100-1200; it helped me a lose a few more lbs but now I'm stuck again and haven't moved in two months. I've tried going back to 800 or so, doesn't do a darn thing. I tried cutting any carbs I could (I usually try to keep under 30g a day) but it made me dizzy and unable to exercise at gym. Unsure what else to do, work out 4 times a week myself and don't eat more than 1200 calories, my body has gotten insanely comfortable at this weight.

I stay away from counting calories and focus on counting macros. I stalled last month so this month I upped my Protein and lost same weight in a week that I lost in the entire month of April.
