How do you know when you need to move up your food amount?
Just wondering when will you know to bump up your intake. I've been at 1/2 c. to 3/4 c. for several months now & my weight loss has slowed a lot. Losing between .5 lb to 1 lb a week usually sometimes none. Wondering if I should be bumping my food up to a c. a meal. I do eat like 5-6 times a day tho. I am 9 months post op & just hit 99 lbs lost today. Just curious how some of you knew to bump it up. I'm getting between 1000-1200 calories a day already & 60-75 g of protein a day & 60-80 oz of water. I have to be honest & say I really haven't exercised like I should & I know I need to get on track with that. Moving from 3/4c. up to a cup is gonna be some work making myself eat that much.
I am not as far out as you are, but according to my surgeons book you are doing your calories right. My book says to be up to 1200-1500 at a year post op. Try a yoga beginners DVD, I have been doing it 3x a week and feel stronger. Cardio can be as easy as walking. I need to do more cardio (sigh) Good luck
