I refuse to get sick just to eat the calories set down by the doctor. I eat what my sleeve will allow me to eat and not a morsel more. I eat Protein first then veggies and I still get in a low fat treat (popcorn,ice pop). I am only 13 weeks out and can only manage about 600-700 calories a day out of the 1100 they want me eating.
I agree don't push it just eat what your sleeve will let you without getting sick and with out eating junk. Don't worry about calories worry about protein.

Be careful not to get into that mindset where you don't want to eat because you're afraid it's too many calories. 1000-1300 isn't too many calories. Especially if you're getting in some type of calorie burning routine.
If it slows down the weight loss, that's ok. This isn't a race... you have taken on a lifestyle change and now you have the rest of your life to get to where you want to be. In fact I always say, don't think of how you'll turn out next month. Instead consider yourself one year from now. It's much more realistic... relax a little bit. Again, this is for life... and since you've taken the steps to be healthier, you just added on a whole lot of years of living!! Enjoy it.
