Which is fine, but I can. We are all different post op, and even without treats I easily make more than that. I'm not having a go at you, and appreciate that we are all so so different, but I worry that people see the tiny amounts and it causes them no end of pain and worry. Because for many many of us 800 cals isn't anywhere near enough to sustain us and my dietician would be seriously concerned about me if that were the case.

I struggle to eat above 800 Maya. I was told by my dietician to eat between 800 & 1000 cals a day. I'm having my bloods at my follow up tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see if I'm in range or deficient. I, like you try to eat as healthily as possible.
I get annoyed when I see people complaining (not on here) that they aren't losing and asking for tips. Then you see their food diary on MFP, and they eating pies, chips, crisps, sugar etc and clearing 1200 cals a day. Then they get cheesed off when you point out the obvious. I'm keeping my gob shut in future

I understand what you mean Paula!! I
acknowledge that everyone's different and different dieticians advocate different calorie intakes. I know for me personally if I go over 800 caIs my weight loss sIows down and almost stops, especially if I don't get enough protein and 'if carbs start to creep up too much. what I was saying to Sukay re: the tin of beans was that for me I would find that size potion physically far too much to eat comfortably....As I understood it, she wanted comparisons. Was only telling her what my dietician recommended for me.... But saying that.I have never head of 2,OO0 calories as a maintenance figure. . I'm sure a lot depends on how physically active a person is, and also other factors such as the level of malabsorption etc.....

I know you mean well hun. But I am so tired of seeing people asking for support and help and getting 'tough' love or being made to feel bad. We have all struggled with our weight and we need to be able to be honest without judgement. I'm not a fan of the kick 'me when I'm down approach.

I would never ever!! kick someone when they are down! Sukay asked for opinions and that's what she got!! Thought you knew me well enough by now to know that I'm not the sort of person who would do that!!!

I didn't get on with those Greek yogurts either Chrisa. I also thought they tasted really artificial. I buy 100g pots of petit filous now instead

Hi all. Hope you have all had a good weekend. I have - too good. I've been so naughty this weekend. I had parties two night's running. Let my hair down a bit. Had alcohol, pizza and crisps! Not large amounts, but still. Anyway not going to dwell on it. Nice little break from being strict but time to start be very good again as knowing me I've put on - I only have to look at a treat and I put on but I won't weigh till next Thursday. I'm going to do a couple of days on liquid (soups, protein shakes etc) as that always works well for me. Feels like starting fresh when I fall off the wagon so to speak. So won't bother logging menus for a few days but I'm still here. I got told my one of bosses that someone is leaving and I might be able to get a permanent contract as only covering maternity at the moment. The security of that would be amazing, so please keep your fingers crossed for me. Hope you are all good xx
