Need to increase calorie intake?!



Recommended Posts

Small rant warning

Ugh I've been stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake because I know it's too low even though I don't fell hungry throughout the day. I don't want my body to stay in starvation mode which is why I feel like in not losing weight. It's hard to increase my calories. Any suggestions for good foods that will help me increase my calorie intake to keep thos weight moving?

This is an odd post. How many calories are you eating? you give very little information to go on.

Second, starvation mode as most people know it is a complete myth. Chances are you need to cycle your calories a bit, meaning one day you need to eat more of your calories from carbohydrates than usual and see where that gets you.

miangr

per your profile - i see B) you were sleeved June18th ;)

your starting weight was 312

you have successfully lost 41 lbs!!!!

bringing you to the magic # of 271!!!!! WooHoo WooHoo!!!! party dance party dance :lol:

Protein bars are yummy, they can have alot of calories, and carbs too :angry:

on an occassion, having one is terrifice - terrific taste ;)

some/many (me) OP try and stay away from Protein Bars cuz they are so good, (kindof like candy bar?? :huh: )very addicting

some people do adjust their calories when a stall hits - to shake things up a bit

"assuming" I need to increase.................

hmmmmm - i "assume" LOL you know what happens when you "assume" something??? :o

You make an assssss out of you and me :lol:

you are only 7 weeks PO

discuss with your NUT your situation/concerns

she is the only one that OFFICIALLY should direct you to your calorie intake

many/most times - you just have to "ride" out a stall

some people might change this or that about their daily routine, and the stall breaks

but whose to say if these changes helped break the stall

or the stall was gonna break on its own

coincidentally the same time changes were made???? :wacko:

you are doing great with your weight loss

41 lbs!!!! :o OMG!!!!

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
