Hello folks, I am new and so excited to have a way to connect to others going through the same thing as me. I had my consultation with my surgeon on 12/30/16 and didn't get an appointment with my nutritionist until 1/19/17. So far I have had my blood work completed and sent to the surgeon, my gastroenterologist consultation is 3/16/17 and my sleep study appointment is next week. I have yet to set up my psychologist/psychiatric appointment. I feel like the actions of having weight loss surgery are so far away but I know that it will get her before I know it. Q: Do you need both a psychiatric and psychological approval? I have this feeling that I need both but I'm not sure. I am so excited for to next months as I prepare for surgery. I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your journeys! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There is rarely a max limit to consumption. However, the body can only absorb so much.. The rest is wasted The key is to exceed the minimum (60g)..

definitely increase it. You've got the right idea about gaining by starvation mode. We aren't made to live a 1200 calorie diet forever. I've posted that the 1200 calorie diet is for someone who is 4'2" and 80lbs (and that is to maintain). I can probably say almost everyone here isn't that height and weight. Otherwise, you'll be right back to where you started, yo-yo dieting. You lose, you gain a lot. You lose a little, you gain a whole lot more! you have to take risk to go higher in calories, until you really understand the science of why and how it works. But here's a website that, once again, I've shared with others here about people stopping the 1200 calorie diet to eat properly for their body, height/weight/activity level. www.eatmore2weighless.com Check it out and congratulations on your getting married!!! Marriage rocks...at least mine does! Many blessings to you hon!
