Sometimes I go a little higher it depends. She did say if you exercise you could up it some.

I am on 800 as well. My nutritionist had an emergency so I have to go for my six month checkup still and then I will find out more.

Mine said 800 how about you? I go to see her in a month so maybe that will change.

You've lost more than most of us. I think you're doing well.
I'm 6.3 lbs behind where I want to be but its due to metabolism issues and I am catching. My surgeon thinks I'm doing well especially since wl is harder for me than most. I've got the gym down because it was already habit since my teens. The difference is instead or enjoying it, I'm working out for calorie burn to maintain the right deficit.
Thats why this is a diet for me. If I do not balance my intake, excercise and rmr for the right deficit level I start gaining even on low calories.
I think we're similar in this fear of screwing things up. Just going off the deep end and giving in to food desires. Sure I can do something else besides eat and I do. Still, temptation remains all around me and unlike in the past, even at 285 lbs, I can't seem to tune it out. Why is this happpening now?

Your nuts perspective is common but in my reality it is a diet. I'm doing everything one does on a diet. The difference is this diet is forever.
I'm good with the forever part. It is an accepted part of wls. The issue I have right now is totally unexpected bottomless pit syndrome. Like I want to eat anything and everything just because I can't and shouldn't. Never have I experinced anything like it before.

I am always tempted with foods from my past. But I will keep it real. I use to eat subs all the time wrong kind of food. But once in a while maybe once a month or even two or three if I am craving it I will eat it otherwise I will not think of anything else. Instead of getting a medium or large I get myself a kids value meal and thats enough to get the craving out of me. A lot of the times I seriously don't even finish the food. My nutritionist told me I am not on a diet any longer its now life changes and changes I need to go ahead and make myself. I use to have cravings for chocolate and many sweets as well. I dont touch chocolate anymore or soda and I seriously have made the changes to the sweets as well. I think I have one sweet a month weather it may be sherbert or a muffin. Otherwise I am eating the best I can possibly be eating. Sometimes I feel I lack protein but I started drinking shakes again to make sure I am getting in the protein I seriously need if I feel I am lacking in that. I have 54 pounds more to go to get to my goal weight and only 30 more to get to my surgeons goal weight. I know I can do it and I will succeed in all I choose to do. I am looking forward to the rest of my journey I know I have come a long way especially knowing I have lost 77 pounds and many inches already.

I am obsessing! It's horrible....I feel like my whole life is focused around weight loss. I have been slacking lately. I need to get back in the gym. I am disappointed in myself. I know I have done great in 7 months but somehow feel like I should be down more weight by now.
