Folks, I'm Stuck.
1200 calories seems very high for someone 5 months post-op, I'd suggest keeping it to the 800 side of the range. Your carbs also seem high.

Well I just got back from the surgeons office. It had been six weeks since I've seen them, and I had lost almost 5 pounds so they didn't know what I was talking about. My stall has been the past three weeks, that loss came before then. When I told them I was pretty sure I was going to have to stick to 800 cal to lose from what I have seen on this board, they looked at me like I was crazy and said that that is too low and that my metabolism will slow down. It's unfortunate that there is so much differing opinion on this that it is hard to know where to turn. One thing I do agree on is I need more protein. They want 80-100. Carbs are a bit high because I haven't been giving the protein my full attention. And I should get a little more activity too.
