I can see a nutritionist at the Bariatric clinic. They put me on 1200 calories per day and I struggle to meet that now as it is.
Up until I quit smoking, I have never experienced this sort of problem before. And I'm frustrated because I don't have answers to what's wrong with me.
Joods, did you drop some initial weight when started the 1200kcal plan, and then plateau? Or have to simply not lost any weight since starting all of this? 1000kcals is really low. I would never recommend that to anyone long term. Are you exercising? Has anyone tested your thyroid function?
No weight dropped. The reason for the 1200 cal plan was because it was a requirement from the bariatric clinic, in order for me to get the surgery. Insurance insisted it be that way. I took two classes and a month later took a fall and injured my hip. I'm still not over that and I threw my back out two Fridays ago. I haven't been back to get the rest of the classes because of all of the problems I've been having lately. Needless to say, exercise is out for obvious reasons. Also - I had all the recommended blood tests - glucose, thyroid (TSH and T4), lipid panels, etc. Everything is normal with the exception of my cholesterol which is a bit high.
I should note that my resting HR hovers around 100-105. I know this isn't normal, right? No one seems to have any answers with that and my BP is normal.
