I'm hoping to find someone from area

It's been 16 months since my surgery I have lost 23 pounds ONLY can anyone help me

I've been using an app on my blackberry called Body Buddy since My Fitness Pal is not available for my phone now to track my calories I've been eating between 470 to 600 kcal per day when I upped my calories to 700 I gained weight how can I make it up to 1000 kcal? then I will definitely gain weight.

This is my update. Since I had my surgery everyone has been telling me I shouldn't feel hunger like before a sweet lady described it as "go to the Chinese restaurant and eat everything insight" funny I liked it. The sad news is I still felt that way even after my surgery,no matter how big my meal is I still feel hungry.so about 5 weeks ago I was talking to my sister and I told her how I feel, she did her own investigation and came back to me she asked me " are u still taking Mirtazapine as a sleeping aid?" And I said yeah for 7 years now and she said" isn't that when you started gaining weight? Do you know that Mirtazapine makes you hungry all the time and makes you gain weight!" I was Shocked. So I took an appointment with my psychiatrist and asked him if that information is true and he said"Yes it is definitely true in fact in some patient we give them this medicine to help them gain weight" and I said so why did you give it to me? and he said "because I care about your insomnia not your weight". So I asked him to change my medicine and give me something else he gave me Agomelatine which has to effect on weight what so ever. Now I don't have the crazy hungry feeling that I used to have thank god for that. I feel that I just had my surgery 4 weeks ago and my journey has just begone. Now I eat 2-3 ounces of food and I get why people were emphasizing on protein because the meal is very small I should not waste it on carbs so I've been eating more protein. I wanted to ask you how many kcal should I be eating a day? I still get head hunger though,I don't know how to control it but I try to ignore it. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement.

More than a year a go

My doctor here is not helpful at all

I didn't do it in Dubai I didn't in Riyadh

Hi When did u get your sleeve gastrectomy?

Hi everyone nice to meet u do u live in the Middle East?

Hi I've been eating the food from the diet center I told you about before a lady told me to eat the Protein then the salad then the carbs so I ve been doing that also you asked me to go back to my doctor and ask but I was to shy to tell you that I'm really scared to talk to him because he will insult me as usual . I lost 2 pounds is that good? I didn't exercise yet because I don't know how to find time for it the nearest GYM to me is 30-40 min away and I can't go in the morning because the GYM opens from 10 am to 9pm I work from 7am to 4pm so I was thinking to buy a treadmill and walk on it after my son goes to sleep what do you think?

I was hoping to find someone in my area

After my surgery I still feel hungry the feeling of hunger did not go away is that normal?

Ok I will keep that in mind thanks a lot
