Stall at 8 months WTH

[dominyks_mom 54]

I am 8 months and was only getting 100 to 300 calories a day. My PA almost put me on a feeding tube! You definitely need to increase your caloric intake. My NUT told me at least 900 to 1000 calories a day. It should help you. Try eating nuts throughout the day. That's what has helped me. I still can't eat very much. But the nuts definitely help up the calories.

I am ten months out and eat about 1200 calories a day--/ I have been at 151-154 for a few months. I think you def need more calories?? I am no expert though- I have not been doing Protein first so I need to change that for sure

I'm 5 months out and eating 1200-1300 calories per day. It is important to get up to a healthy level of food and nutrition. Otherwise the body clings to every bit of fat for your survival, and lowers your metabolism too. You so don't want that. More food (especially Protein and vegetables), more Water (try for 100 oz), more exercise.

Exercise is my nemesis...Every morning I get up and say "I'm gonna do one of my workouts today" and here I sit at 1pm in the afternoon going "where did my morning go?" lol

I eat about 600 calories a day 100 g of Protein 30g of carbs max

Those numbers don't add up. So 130g x 4 calories per gram is 520 calories, leaving 80 calories worth of fat so you don't have more than 10g of fat per day? (Fat has 9 calories per gram).

Please clarify.

Yeah I dunno about the whole "up your calories" thing. I mean it's worth an experimental try if you are truly honest with the data.

But I didn't get over 600 calories per day till maybe a year out and reached goal at that level. And I ran about 10-15 miles per week and did 4-6 hours of yoga class.

If starvation mode was true for everyone then starving people wouldn't keep losing weight (spoiler alert, they do).

There is no one size fits all rule, so like I said, it's worth an experiment, but I think you can definitely keep losing weight at 600 calories.

My advice is keep sticking with the program your doctor gave you (you trusted the doc enough to let them cut you open so trust them) and you will eventually break the stall. Just keep on keeping on.

I do Grilled chicken breast and Protein Shakes " premiere" and typically I will do either a veggie or almonds with my chicken. I do chicken for lunch and dinner and I do a Protein Shake for Breakfast and a snack. - I get 60gr of Protein from two shakes without the added scoop of syntax that I add and blend. which adds 23gr per shake so that's - 106gr total not including chicken. 10 carbs from the premiere, 0 from syntax. 6g of fat from the premiere. 4 oz of grilled chicken is around 22gr of protein 1 carb and 4gr of fat. so that twice a day totals at 44 protein 8 fat and 2 carbs. EXT....

I didn't think people could process/use more than 30gms of protein in one go. You may want to space that protein out over the course of the day a bit better.

I'm at 6 months and I've been around 600 cal the whole time with 60+ go of Protein. My surgeon and nut say 1000 cal is way too much at this point.

My surgeon and nutritionist want me to stay between 600 and 800 calories. 60+ grams protein for my first year.

Start carb cycling and use HIIT cardio, watch the fat fly off.......

I'm now over 6 months out and eating 1500-1600 calories per day and still losing. I do 35 mins a day of circuit training DVD (I'm on day 47 of Jillian Michaels' 90-Day Body Revolution). Great muscle definition and energy. More food, more Water, more exercise is my advice.

[painter88 101]

I eat 1300-1500 calories per day and I lose in average 1-2 Lbs. per week. I am happy with the results. I'm also working out twice per week for one hour each.
