Okay, so this is my problem. I was on the right course to losing weight and about a year I lost my motivation due to a very bad break up which left me in a state of depression for many months. Afterwards I started school while working which left me no time to go back to the gym. While I haven't gained any of the weight back, I'm determined that I would like to lose about another 39 more lbs. Currently, I weigh about 220. I actually like the way I look. I'm pretty chunky which has given me a whole new confidence boost and way more attention from men then what I was used to. But, I decided that I want to weigh less because I cannot for the life of me ever remember being under that 200 lb mark. Life is definitely better for me now than it was many years ago. Here's the thing: While my eating habits have completely changed since the surgery, and since joining the gym, I CANNOT lose the weight. My usual calories burned at the gym ranges between 500-600. And since noticing no weight loss, I have upped my calories burned to about 750. My question is: Am I am eating enough? With the amount of calories I'm eating, how do I know if i'm eating enough or just simply doing something wrong? Example: Breakfast: 1 egg with cheddar cheese Lunch Tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat Dinner: Caesar salad with croutons, caesar dressing, bacon bits (not a lot) and once in a while with chicken Snacks (not every day) Smart foods White Cheddar Popcorn Honey BBQ chips (I never finish the whole bag in one round) What can I do to confuse my body. It's been 3 weeks but clearly I should've seen a difference. If anyone has any input I'd greatly appreciate it. Shold i go back to 3 shakes a day and a salad? Sigh, wishing I knew....

Sorry to see you're going through such an emotional time. I send all my best your way and hope you have a great recovery... Saying a prayer in your name.
