It shows I should eat around 1200 cals a day to lose 2 lbs a week...well, that has not been happening on the weight loss side, though I do eat about that much! Unfortunately our bodies sometimes do not care about these formulas ;)Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003187612927546935.post-32542936463873293542010-01-22T06:55:35.803-08:002010-01-22T06:55:35.803-08:00My doctor's office substitute nutritionist sho...My doctor's office substitute nutritionist showed me this before surgery. It showed to loss two pounds a week I had to eat around 1600 calories. <br /><br />When I said this to the current nutritionist she freaked out. She said that didn't apply to after surgery since your pouch was so small. 1200 calories was the max and that I would loss 1lb a week with that. She even called the NP in to stress that I should eat that much. <br /><br />However, they couldn't answer my question on how the size of my pouch changed how my body uses calories. My metabolism didn't just get cut in half just because my pouch is small. I think the science is right and I am glad that some people have found success with it! My doctor's office still shriek when I talk about it, but I am losing more than the other patients I have seen.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274989438466842161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003187612927546935.post-6137152975857298722010-01-22T06:18:35.185-08:002010-01-22T06:18:35.185-08:00You can just enter in your goal weight in the BMR ...You can just enter in your goal weight in the BMR calculations to see what to do to maintain that when you get there. I like to do that to see what I'll need to be doing at that point.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330362430647878821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003187612927546935.post-50912304248280327582010-01-22T05:48:01.867-08:002010-01-22T05:48:01.867-08:00Ok I know what I did wrong.

I did it again following your instructions and it tells me that I should be eating 2148 calories per day.. and to lower that by 500 to lose weight.. but holy cow, that's still 1600 calories.. can I even get that much food down?? lol I don't know? It seems like a lot to me. <br /><br />Thanks so much for posting this. When I want to adjust things in future I will head back and use your links again. xxTHE DASH!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658679261310931377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003187612927546935.post-6287023113551075712010-01-22T05:33:35.709-08:002010-01-22T05:33:35.709-08:00Oh, you're an angel!!

And yes.., I am actually five foot five lol (and a half.. wonder if I've shrunk?) but I say five foot five for easier purposes. Clever you. I'm going to go and try it again. I obviously mucked it up good and proper (firstly by using the BMI I know of now which is 30.1 lol!!) Thanks xxxTHE DASH!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658679261310931377noreply@blogger.com
