Stall or too many calories?

[vsg02022022 1]

Hi guys.

I am exactly 3 months post op from yesterdays date and I have noticed my weight loss has come to a stop.

I am curious as to wether you guys think it’s a stall or am I eating too much? I got covid 2 months post op , before that I was around 600-890 calories a day. After covid my appetite shot up and I’ve now been averaging between 950-1100 calories a day.

if I go under that amount I am hungry and get really snappy. I feel so depressed when I look at other peoples calories 3 months out who average at about 800 and still “ struggle “ to eat. Because I don’t anymore and this surgery was my last option at trying to loose weight and I feel like I’ve failed with this now and like everything I try to help me loose weight nothing will ever work for me.

a typical day for me looks like this

Pre breakfast- Actimel 0% and a Caramel Latte (58 calories) can’t go without my morning latte.

breakfast- varies but lately I’ve been having

2 bacon medallions (79 calories)

2 reduced fat pork sausages (162)

heinz Beans 80G (58 calories)

And spoonful of mushrooms ( don’t count the calories as they are too low to workout)

so Breakfast is quite a big portion in my opinion

lunch- chicken with mushrooms new potatoes and green beans (281 calories)

or a folded flatbread (102 calories)

with roast chicken inside (62 calories)

followed also inside by some lettuce and reduced fat sour cream (35 calories) and a dairy Lee dunker (98 calories)

tea - Chicken breast (126 calories ) with Mediterranean veg (88 calories)

or Haddock with med veg

Or reduced fat beef burger on a romaine lettuce leaf with a slice of RF cheese and lighter than light mayo.

Snacks usually consist of light baby bels, chicken satay sticks , the small packs of fridge raiders or an options hot chocolate (38 calories

)

some days I hit over 100G Protein, carbs I eat between 50G/80G fat is under 40G a day, sugar is always under 20G

would love ur opinions tips and tricks guys.

for reference my programme/consultant never gave me calories to follow was just to always hit my protein goals and my start weight was 21 stone 9 pounds , I am currently 17 stone 12 pounds and 5’5.

How long since you've lost weight? If its only a short period of time its likely to be a stall. If its a long period of time, have you checked in with your team to go over your food intake. The goals previously given for Protein intake may not be applicable now. Are you execising at all?
