reassurance needed

So i kno tht stalls r.normal, i had a small one at 6 weeks, now at three months i.am.having another one...i cant however beat my.brain :****ep thinking "well u have already lost 114 lbs...maybe ur done" i really.pray im not done, and to clarify i rarely eat more then 800 cals a day, more like 600ish...is tht too low?? And i excersise as much as possible, weather permitting, its been minus 40 here for almost the last month....i need reassurance tht ill.keep loosing n tht this is just temporary :) thanks!! Amanda

You need a minimum of 800.  

Hows your diet?  Keeping it at 40/30/30?

keeping up protein?

drinking water?

otherwise don't worry about it

I dont kmow wht 40/30/30 is.....i typically exceed my protien, and water us good, so a minimum...perhaps ill try to mix up my menu :) thanks!!

If you are tracking your foods (on myfitnesspal or another tracker) ... 40/30/30 means .. 40% protein/ 30% carbs/ 30% fats, totals for your daily food intake.

I used to mix mine up a little bit.. 50/25/25 is usually what I did. 

 

OR, if you are tracking it by numbers, I used to aim for 80-120g protein, 30-60g carbs and 20-50g fats per day

I agree with Dawn, 600cals is too low. At 3months out, I was eating/comsuming 900-1000cals per day

Guess i was scared to up it...ill give it a try :)

I was just back for a checkup at TWO, 4 months out and they want me to be eating 900-1200 calories a day, 80g of protein, 80g of carbs and 40 of fat

I.havent.had any post op follow up...i live 3 hpurs away from tue clinic n everytime i have an appointment the weather is.horrible!! I see them feb 7 :) ill up my prptien thanks

Aww the stall.....it messes with your brain like crazy. I am almost 10 months out, and I have stalled for like 2 months now. I jump between 203 - 200.5. One day I dropped to 199.5 but up the next. I have lost inches, upon inches but the scale doesn't want to move, I can't say its easy, but the best thing to do is get off that darn scale. Put it away, weigh in once a week, and try to remember the number on the scale is not the only success we have. Inches, how you feel, how you think you look. All the joys in life !!!! I am frustrated with the scale, but I refuse to believe that 200.5 lbs is my bottom line, I hear 160lbs calling me !!!! good luck !!!!
