Calories In?



Recommended Posts

Hello! How many calories do you take in a day? When you're in a weight loss slump do add more calories or less? My NUT confuses me. I've been stuck at the same weight for about two weeks now. I'm three months post op, down 65 lbs and I'm "supposed" to get 800 calories a day. Thanks for your input.

yeah, mine confuses me too sometimes as well..mine gave me a goal of between 800-1000 cal per day, so I set MFP to 800....most days I meet it, some days I dont, some days I go over....on a day I workout, I usually eat something healthy that has more calories, like adding canned pineapple or something as a snack...

A stall can happen for a number of reasons, and sometimes you just have to wait it out unfortunately....

When your in a true stall for over 3 weeks or about, switch things up! Make sure your not drinking with meals, 30 minutes before, or 30 minutes after. Eat Protein first and some veggies. Drink lots of Water to stay hydrated and to keep things moving along. Eat more a few days, and then eat less. Keep your body guessing. Don't worry, you are going to lose the weight, your body is adjusting in inches right now. This is a good time to measure yourself and also, feel the difference in your cloths. :)

I am over 7 months out and only about 3 lbs. from my doctor's goal for me. he said I could now increase my intake 1o 1,000-1,100 per day, but I still cannot get in over 900 and most days can't even get in 800! I concentreate more on carbs than calories since I know I will not be going over my calories.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
