How many calories is right!!!



Recommended Posts

How many calories a day is every one eating? I've been eating between 600 to 900 a day but from what I'm reading that's not enough but my weight loss is doin ok i have lost about 25 kgs (55 lbs). I had surgery on 14/02/11. Oh and I had my 1st fill 2 weeks ago and it's helped a lot

i eat between 550 and 900 most days...there are days here and there when i splurge, but when i'm on point, that's the range where i am. i've lost 73 pounds in 6 months, so it's worked for me. i think everyone's body works differently, so if you're losing weight with 600-900 calories, and you're feeling satiated, stick with it!

I give myself a window between 800 -1200 calories a day. This way if I go over (SAY DO TO CAL. IN A SAUCE) I'm not kicking myself for it.

I don't go over 1200. Otherwise I don't worry about it.

Everyone's metabolism is different. After reaching my goal, I can lose 1/2 # /wk by avg. 1500 cals/week. I crave nothing.

I eat 1700 nowadays but started off eating 800-1000. There is no ONE answer; there is no ONE diet for anyone here. You need to test the waters, play with your calories, and find what works for you.

Like everyone has said, it's different for everyone. For me, if I am below 1,000 then I won't lose at all regardless of how much exercise I do. I try to keep my calories between 1,000-1,100

Yeh thanks I guess I will keep doin what I'm doin I'm also at the gym 3 days a week which would help, oh and yes I splurge probably once a week now and it hasn't affected much so it's become a very sustainable diet which is what I was after

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
