How Many Calories One Year Out?



Recommended Posts

@@Alex Brecher thanks! I think I am going to bump up the calories. My weight loss has come to a grinding halt as of late.

@@Indieflickers - I am in the same situation and I just started weighing out the food again, not just eye balling the portions.

I have been eating a bit more Protein and calories and it looks as though the scale is starting to cooperate.

Great job by the way :D

@@jane13 thanks! I find weighing good immensely helpful because it keeps me honest. And I like to be super precise because I'm really anal retentive :)

@@Indieflickers - I had the inexpensive little scale I had grabbed at Walmart for $5 in my early post-op days and I literally JUST went and spent about $20 for a digital one, I am "AR" as well :D

I didn't like not knowing the exact amount.

My daughter was at my house a couple of nights ago and saw the digital scale and a bunch of little 4oz serving cups and snack size ziplock bags and said "Mom, are you REALLY weighing your food out?"

"Yes" - she smiled, is also "AR"

Did upping your calories help? I feel like I've stalled from not eating enough for my workout. I work out 6 days a week, an hour a day, half cardio, half weights.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
