I'm sure I was eating more than 400 a day when I was a month out, but I doubt I was at 800 at that point. I know I ate in the 600-800 range most of that first year, but I can't remember when I starte

At about a month after surgery I was probably doing 500 to 600 calories daily. I found that if I did bump my calorie intake up to 800 to 1000 for a couple of days I would have a weight loss spurt, i.e
I just had a zoom appointment with my dietitian and I need to vent. I am taking my vitamins, hitting my 80 grams of protein, getting my 90 ounces of water and my labs are coming back good. I am no longer needing my blood pressure meds and my diabetic medications. I thought this was going to be a good job all is well kind of meeting and go about my day. I was just bumped up to regular foods with no restrictions.
Well that didn't go as planned.
I was instead given a type of menu that looks like trouble to me. There is no way I can eat 800 calories a day right now much less some of the things on this.
800 calories a day just seems pretty high to me??? Anyone else think that a month out when your sleeve is still super restrictive and weight is falling off that 800 calories is a lot?? Am I being a little psycho about this???
My app tells me that I will almost be doubling my intake, right now I am averaging between 400 and 425 a day? I was actually getting more calories in when I was doing just liquids in when I was drinking protein shakes, now I am low on protein I am drinking an extra bone broth for 50 calories instead of the 150 calories in a shake>
Anyway, I will do what they tell me I guess since its worked so far but I am freaking out a bit and I really do not know how I will be able to bump up that much without feeling miserable most of the day
