Eating more

[eyhornmom 36]

I'm a little over 6 weeks out from surgery. I've been doing pretty well lately. My average daily calories are 600-700. Today I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with work, so I'm stressed, and I'm starving. I don't know if i'm reverting back to my old stress eating habit, or I'm just getting hungrier. Today I'm at 800 calories, and I haven't had dinner yet. I have eaten healthy food; eggs with cheese, Protein chips, turkey and cheese, Protein Bar, and 2 slices of cheese. Is it normal to start reading more calories now?

I just went to my 6 week check up today and I have been averaging 1,000 calories a day. I have been dropping more weight than when I was only eating 500-600 per day. My surgeon said 1,000 calories was perfect! I get hungry (not like pre-surgery when I was diabetic and my blood sugar dropped all the time). I think it's normal!

I am also about 6 weeks out and was right around 800 and stalled. I bumped up to 1000 and lost 3 pounds in 4 days.
