I've been sleeved one month now and I can eat pretty well. I'm getting 800-1100 calories per day. Sometimes I feel this is a lot!

Please tell me how many calories you eat per day and how long you've been sleeved.

Thanks everyone!

I am not to sure what normal is for everyone but I know I am 11months post op and I get about 900-1100 calories a day in and about 55grams of protein! I have been told I can eat a little more but not really wanting to I seem to do best at 900 !!

I am 4 months out and do best when I eat 1000-1200 on the days I exercise and 750-900 on the days I don't.

I am not supposed to count calories, but I do!

I am 4 weeks out and getting between 450-650 calories a day. Now that I'm adding in some veggies my cals are going down a little, so I think I'm going to add a snack or two in of cheese or something to up my calories and protein a bit.

I'm 4 weeks out myself - and getting between 100-350 calories a day. If I take time out to eat I don't get my fluids in so it it is a vicious cycle and I don't know how to end it! I guess I am just one of the lucky ones who gets to have swelling farther out than normal. Every day I look for a sign of a turn around!!

I am 3 months out and I eat 900 to 1100 calories per day. I try to stay under 1000.

MeMe - I'm in the same boat. But I'm 2 1/2 weeks out. I am only getting about 200 calories a day. When I eat mushies they often feel stuck in my throat and it will take hours for the feeling to go away. Plus, then I can't seem to drink the fluids that I should... How does one get fluids in and calories in, in a situation like this? My energy level is so low at this point that I'd love to be able to get the calorie count up.

I'm 10 days shy of 4 months out. I get 700-800 calories per day, 60 grams of Protein, and I suck down 64 oz. of Fluid. I work out 30-45 minutes 6 days per week.

For the first six weeks I probably was getting around 300-400 calories and maybe 40 grams of protein. Then I started eating around 60 grams of protein and 500 calories. Between 5 and 6 months I started eating maybe 600 calories and maybe 65 -70 grams of protein. Now, post 6 months, I eat between 65-80 grams of protein and maybe 800 calories. Some weekend days I may go above the 80 / 800 mark. I do not want to go over 1000.

I am new here. I am 1 year and 1 month out from getting sleeved. I feel better seeing so many people eating around the 1000-1200 calorie mark. If I eat less than that I feel really dizzy and sick. I was worried I was eating way too much.

At one month I ate about 3-400 calories. Now at 8 months I eat about 1200 and feel like I'm eating too many...but so many of you are successful eating that much even earlier than I did... I am losing very slowly (1-3 pounds a month) eating 1200 a day.... I guess thats just me! I am full eating that much though, and I am thankful for that.

I'm 4 weeks out, and I'm eating between 400 to 600 calories. I usually get between 50 and 60 grams of protein in. I'm still on a mostly liquid diet.

@Slimming Sara - when I was in week 2 and couldn't eat anything, my NUT told me to try to get my fluids in the form of something with some substance like v8 juice (low sugar) if you can handle it. This will give you some more calories and some nutrients as well as Fluid. Good luck with that. I'm sure it will get better.

@MeMeME - how are you feeling other than eating so few calories? I'm sure the swelling will go down very soon now since we're already a month out. I'm saying a prayer for you.

I'm 7 1/2 weeks out and get in between 600-800 calories a day. Weekends I don't do as well and fall to about 500 at the most. My goal is to get 70 grams of protein in and of course the 64 oz of water.

I average about 700 calories a day right now. I'm 4.5 mo out.

Hi there,

I'm 3 months out, and can easily eat 1200 calories per day. I've always been able to eat more than the average bear since the surgery, so I really have to be careful to eat my Protein first so it fills me up
