The no op version. This version is still severe but far more liberal than the one many pre ops are given.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Fat(g) | Carbs(g) | Net C(g) | Prot(g) | KCals |
55.27 | 145.22 | 101.02 | 88.49 | 1264 |
Not a bad day but not as good as I wanted it to be. I was hoping to hold the calories down to 1100 but I had an unplanned piece of bread pudding to the tune of 229 calories. It was a small piece but its a heavy calorie dense desert. No regrets, it was worth every calorie and I'm still well under my maintenance range.
Got the water in. I'm actually over so It may show up on the scale in the morning. Humph. No exercise cause the body refuses to cooperate but I did get a little yard work done. I really hate yard work.
yesterday my carbs were 212/fat/61, protein 76 & 1484 calories (only because i veered from my usual breakfast & ate a slice of bacon pizza from caseys!)
TMI??? I've never seen any other site where we cas so freely discuss our bm's.
My rule of thumb is to avoid eating less than my rmr (resting metabolic rate). This way I have what's required for the body to function. When it comes to weight loss calculators, I've always had to slash those numbers downward.
You may want to try calorie cycling. Instead of holding to a steady plan eat higher cal some days and lower cal other days. This way you accomodate changes in appetite while maintaining your calorie goal.
The link above divides the cycle into a seven day plan (3 at base, 2 high days, 2 low days). You'll achieve the same result splitting it up as you prefer as long as your average is in the right range.
Also, if you eat lower carb you can add "good" fats to get the calories up without spiking insulin levels. For some folks this can slow or halt weight loss. Fat add up fast and something a simple as cream cheese, nuts, or salad oil can easily bring up the calories.
To clarify:
this above being increased insuline production.
