Goal Weight

[GG123 5]

I am 9 weeks post op today and I have lost 48 pounds. I would like to lose another 15-20 pounds.

Once I hit my goal weight how do I stop losing? I hit my Protein and Water goal daily however I am only eating about 500-600 calories. My Doctor has told me I should be eating 1000-1200 per day. This seem impossible!

You need to work on increasing calories ASAP or you will permanently mess up your metabolism. I assume you started at a low BMI - it's important to talk to your nutritionist about a diet plan to maintain. I would start to slow down your loss now. To increase calories - add some healthy fats and healthy carbs to your diet.

You'll have to get your calories in with Protein Shakes if you can not physically eat the calories you need

Ensure plus is added calorie and I think has 350 calories so you can add that.
