ETA: Disregard. I was in the wrong forum.

I don't know what to do. I had the VSG 02/15/2016 and lost fine right after surgery (though slowly). That was okay. I've historically been a slow loser and I'm 56 and was right at 40BMI (SW was 235). Right now I fluctuate between 181 and 177.

For SIX MONTHS. I've been at the same weight range for SIX MONTHS.

I'm moderately active (walking) because of leg injuries.

I drink at least 64 oz. of Water a day and get in my Protein (and basically follow a low-carb diet with around 50 carbs per day).

If I eat over 700-800 calories I gain.

I'm afraid of slowing down my metabolism by eating so few calories. My surgeon's dietitian doesn't seem to care. I feel like I need to shock my system to get it started. I'm afraid to up my calories to see if that does it because I sure as hell don't want to shoot over that 181. I'm so afraid of gaining the weight back at this stage. My goal is 140-150.

What are people six months or more post-op doing? I thought I understood dieting, but I'm at the end of my rope.

Oh, and I have no thyroid (cancer) and take synthroid for the hormone replacement.

Thanks in advance.
