Default Question About Calories Per Day

Yesterday, I only ate a total of 619 calories and I felt great. Today's "menu" totals 585 calories.

My question is will I be able to lose weight on that amount of calories at the stage I am now (7 1/2 months out) or will my body think I'm starving it and hold on to the weight? Any help is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It's probably a bit low for where you are at. Try to get up to 800-900 if you can.

Ahhh, I think you are right about the time many experience a long stall. Don't worry, things will start moving again.

keep the calories in the protein/veggie column and PUSH that water!! How much are you working out?

I remember my stalls at this stage...it nearly did me in! YOU CAN DO THIS CHRISTY...you know I believe in you....don't let the stall break you...KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!!!

I agree with doc that seems too low. My nutritionist said between 6-12 months out you should be getting 800-1000 calories minimum to help your body stay fueled. Maybe add a protein shake in there.....

Thanks everyone for the advice. Kathy, your response made me cry! You are so right, this stall has probably been the most mentally challenging since my surgery. I keep panicing and wondering if I have lost that I will lose. I want to lose about 40 more pounds and I am definitely not satisfied where I am.

remember to watch that protein too, there were a few of us that got too much at one point and it started messing with us in stalls!
