Hi everyone! I started 2022 on a weight loss journey. I am 43M and 5'9". I started at about 280 lbs. In March I learned I needed to have surgery on my back and decided to lose weight in preparation. I started on WW and lost about 40lbs before my surgery in May. After the surgery I decided to switch to a plant based diet and weight started to drop even more. In July I ended up messing up my digestion with the abundance of plant foods and ended up eating very little for a few weeks while I recovered. I was taking in less than 1000 calories for a couple weeks. Slowly getting back to my average of 1500 calories which is what I was at before the stomach bloating issues. After July I started to have problems with dry skin, coldness, fatigue, etc. My RHR went from 64 to 54 and my BP dropped to 115/78. I attribute these drastic changes to my huge dietary change from health concious WW to plant based no meat no dairy no oil no sugar ( macros like 80 carb 10 fat 10 protein).
I believe this is due to my prolonged caloric deficit and huge dietary change. How can I help recover my metabolism? I assume I just slowly increase the calories?
