I'm sorry that your appointment didn't go as well as you planned, but it sounds to me like you're doing well, even if you do need to up your calories, now you know and can adjust accordingly to be as healthy as possible.  I've been a slow loser, have lost 60 pounds since March 17th, but I'm trudging along and feel a lot better than I did when I started this journey so I try not to focus on the number and just keep going.  We just got back from a trip to Disney World and I never once got sore from all that walking (and we walked a TON), plus I was walking faster than most of the people I was with even though I wasn't trying to and felt like I was just walking normally, plus the plane ride was so much more comfortable.  Up your calories and protein and just move forward from today, but don't begrudge yourself your accolades for doing the best you could to this point so far, you didn't know you weren't getting in enough calories and now you can do what you need to do.  

Just remember this, guys lose faster then girls in the first place.  The other thing is that for people who were over 350lbs prior to surgery it comes off faster because they have more to loose.  I'm down 104lbs since surgery now and 134lbs since dec 9th.  I started at 426 though and am 6'4" so it comes off easier.  Just stick to a good diet and exercise and you will do just fine.

ut-oh... I had surgery on March 31st and as of a few weeks ago, I was 103 down. I've felt guilty because in my mind, these last few weeks I've eaten a little more. I guess I really haven't eaten asll that much, being that my calories stay around 800-1000 cals at most. My nut did say that within the next few months I need to up it to 1200, but I took that as: at the end of 3 more months, adjust to 1200. The scale hasn't moved at all this week. Well, I take that back. It went up a pound, which it did at the beginning of last month the day before I lost 6 pounds somehow. This time, it stayed.. Well, it wavers, ya know? One day I'm this, next it is a little less. This whole thing can be frustrating! lol Thanks for sharing your experience!

Sorry to hear the dr's visit didn't go as planned.  I would have been upset too. I have my 6 month check up in a little over a week. I am expecting a good report, just like you were. I hope your labs come back okay. Let us know.

Thanks for sharing that. It can't be easy to be scolded. It's hard to not compare and want to get all this weight off right now. Good luck to you.
