Its because you are on liquids girls, probably not getting enough calories in and your body is saying woooaahh now.

It will get moving again xx

That makes me feel better Mazza! How many calories should I aim for a day? Xx

 

[queenofbelfastcity]

Hope so Mazza ... Will still be calorie counted mushy for me

 

[Mazza]

Well that depends! no easy answer really, varies from person to person (height / weight / activity etc) - that magic calorie allowance that is enough to make you lose weight.

It matters more when you are back on food, so maybe ask your provider?

I used to have between 1,000 and 1,200 but I'm 5ft 10 and do a fair bit of exercise xx

 

[Tracey1404]

Hi Mazza - I am same height as you and like to swim which I need to wait 6 weeks to do. How long before you started exercising post surgery. I am walking 15 minutes twice a day at moment, just gentle but am thinking of increasing week 3 onwards. I have a sedentary job so need some form of movement! T xxx

I'm 5ft 7 and have a really active job, I'm on my feet constant for 9 hours a day ! Although I just got a new job yesterday as a trainee nursery nurse which I can't WAIT to start as I've been looking into childcare for the last year! It's just deciding what to eat on mush for me now xxx
