Help! Is This Too Little, Right Amount Or Too Many Calories?!?

Hey guys, hope all my fellow sleevers are doing great! I have a question though... This is week 5 for me and my dietitian wants to bump my calories to 1000-1300. I've been eating between 500-600 calories for the last couple of weeks and anything over 800 seems like a lot to me. I've been getting in enough protein with the amount of calories I eat now and I'm worried if I bump them up too much that it will either slow down my weight loss or end it completely. I seem to be over obsessive with food and my scale so maybe I'm looking into this too much... Please let me know how many calories you're getting in daily and how far out you are; any advice would help. Thanks and many blessings! :)

    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 calo

    My surgeon said dont count calories, just worry about the Protein and dont eat too many carbs. They follow the 70/70 rule. 70 of protein and not more than 70 of carbs. I ate about 400-600 calories

See you're being told to eat more, and I'm 3months out eating 1000-1200 and exercising avg of about 500 cal a day, and my nut today told me to cut back to 600-800, 1000 at most. It all seems so variable!

thanks everyone for the replies and encouraging words.

sleeve of steel, when did you have your surgery?

I had mine about 7 months ago- 8-9-11
