Hi Everyone:
I'm a little over 1.5 years post op and I've lost 200lbs. Expectedly, my weight loss has slowed but I'm not done yet! I want to lose another 75/100lbs.
I have contacted my dietitian and she encourages me to eat about 70 grams of protein, 45 grams of carbs, 30 grams of fat. She also says I should only eat three times a day. Luckily, if I'm eating the right things, dense protein, I can only eat about 4 oz. I get hungry between meals and typically have a premiere protein.
I do intense workouts about 5 times a week. Sometimes that's for the mental benefits more than the physical.
I'm not losing at all. With only about 1000 calories but intense workouts I was concerned I was creating too large of a deficit and my body was holding on to it. She said that since I have excess weight my body would not create a deficit because it would use my body fat.
I'm looking for advice from those that are also about 1.5 years out. How are you losing? What are your macros? Your activity? What's working?
Thanks for your help!
