Hi guys.
I am exactly 3 months post op from yesterdays date and I have noticed my weight loss has come to a stop.
I am curious as to wether you guys think it’s a stall or am I eating too much? I got covid 2 months post op , before that I was around 600-890 calories a day. After covid my appetite shot up and I’ve now been averaging between 950-1100 calories a day.
if I go under that amount I am hungry and get really snappy. I feel so depressed when I look at other peoples calories 3 months out who average at about 800 and still “ struggle “ to eat. Because I don’t anymore and this surgery was my last option at trying to loose weight and I feel like I’ve failed with this now and like everything I try to help me loose weight nothing will ever work for me.
a typical day for me looks like this
Pre breakfast- Actimel 0% and a Caramel Latte (58 calories) can’t go without my morning latte.
breakfast- varies but lately I’ve been having
2 bacon medallions (79 calories)
2 reduced fat pork sausages (162)
heinz beans 80G (58 calories)
And spoonful of mushrooms ( don’t count the calories as they are too low to workout)
so breakfast is quite a big portion in my opinion
lunch- chicken with mushrooms new potatoes and green beans (281 calories)
or a folded flatbread (102 calories)
with roast chicken inside (62 calories)
followed also inside by some lettuce and reduced fat sour cream (35 calories) and a dairy Lee dunker (98 calories)
tea - Chicken breast (126 calories ) with Mediterranean veg (88 calories)
or Haddock with med veg
Or reduced fat beef burger on a romaine lettuce leaf with a slice of RF cheese and lighter than light Mayo.
snacks usually consist of light baby bels, chicken satay sticks , the small packs of fridge raiders or an options hot chocolate (38 calories
)
some days I hit over 100G protein, carbs I eat between 50G/80G fat is under 40G a day, sugar is always under 20G
would love ur opinions tips and tricks guys.
for reference my programme/consultant never gave me calories to follow was just to always hit my protein goals and my start weight was 21 stone 9 pounds , I am currently 17 stone 12 pounds and 5’5.
