    Caloric Deficit

    So it seems to be losing weight isn't the same after you've had bypass. Of course not right away! I'm a little more than a year post op and haven't lost weight since I don't even know when. I often think the surgery was a failure as far as weight loss goes, it DID reverse the type 2 diabetes I had! THANK GOD. However, before surgery I could do a caloric deficit and lose weight, count or watch carbs and generally lose weight. I have no clue what to do now. Am I eating too much am I eating too little?? WE DONT KNOW. In general in your opinion what is the ideal amount of calories for weight loss being a bariatric patient?

    MACROS?!

    HELP!!! I am a little over a year post op. I am just now hearing about macros. From what I read, 1g of protein is 4 calories 1g of carbs is 4 calories and 1g of fat is 9 calories. Is it accurate that I should be eating 180 grams of protein a day?! What about carbs!? 75g of carbs! This is if I eat 1200 calories a day 60% of that being protein 25% being carbs and 15% being fat. PLEASE HELP ME. I am sooo confused. What the heck do I need to be eating! I am female, 30 years old, 5'6" and 205-210lbs (ish). Macros thoroughly confuse me!!

    MACROS?!

    Okay! That's not my requirement that's just what I've read and for regular people who haven't had surgery which is why I've gotten so confused. I'm not doing this, the office I had surgery through doesn't really do follow up they said try to get 60g of protein and 96oz of water. So I don't have a program I'm following anymore. I'm just trying to come up with one and I had read about macros. thank you for the info
