I'm 3 months post-op, just short of 50 pounds down. I've always loved exercise, but I've really ramped it up as I've lost weight and felt better. Currently I'm spinning 4x a week, lifting 2x a week, and hitting 10k steps a day without much effort (I stay at home with two young boys and a puppy, so I'm always moving.)

My dietician has me at 1000 calories a day, but I'm HUNGRY. It's legit hunger too, not head hunger. The exercise is better than antidepressant I've ever taken, plus I'm feeling super strong and energized, so I really don't want to cut back. But I'm also eating more calories than I "should" be at this point, so I sort of feel like I'm at a loss.

I'm planning to call my dietician tomorrow but was just curious of anyone has dealt with something similar?

Does your dietician know your exercise routine? If not, they may want to tweak it a bit given your activity.

At 3 months I was doing some sort of cardio 4-5 times a week, and lifting 1-2 times a week as well. That’s when I actually started to LIKE exercise!
