Getting enough calories

[othella2 76]

So I started back working after 6 weeks off. I'm so glad I'm back at work, anyways I am not able to eat much still. My weight loss is at a stall because of it I think. Not sure if that is the cause of my hair coming out also. I'm going to the gym still. But I think I get about 600 to 800 max daily. Any suggestions?? Please help.

Stop going to the gym, especially if you are doing intense workouts, with lowered calorie consumption you will stall more with intense workouts - just some walking in all you need. Stalls are part of the process all during this journey, many times your body will need to take a break, usually inches come off during a true stall. Hair loss is also part of this. Keep Protein levels up, add some fat - avocado, coconut oil, etc. My hair really suffered, looked like crap for a long time but I have lots of new baby hairs, I did but uber expensive Shampoo - Zenegen that has made a huge difference, it lasts a long time used as directed though. Hang in there. Push more liquids and keep protein to 80gr.

Stalls and Hair loss are both very common. I'm surprised they didn't mention this to you in your pre-op classes. The hair loss will stop after a few months and it'll all grow back. The stalls will continue throughout your weight loss phase. Just stick to your plan, and the weight loss will start up again.

Your calorie level is in line with most on this forum. As stated above, stalls and Hair loss are normal and part of the process (especially stalls)

600-800 calories is pretty average. You're getting enough. Stalls and Hair loss are a normal part of the process. Take some Biotin to help with the hair loss.
