How Many Calories/exercise Are You Getting?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out today and was wondering how many calories and exercise everyone is getting in at this point. Personally I shoot for 600-700 cals and am jogging&walking about 4 times a week (1.5 miles). I do not know if this is normal or not.

I just want everyone to post what they are doing :) also, I would love if everyone left their myfitnesspal info so we can be friends!

I'm not on MFP but, I'm getting about 800 cals per day and walking 3 miles per day 6 days per week. I'm going to start bumping up the exercise though.

Almost 6 months out, and I always shoot for 800 calories (sometimes I miss the shot and hit 900;) ) and I usually burn between 450- 550 calories 5 days/week. I use the elliptical for an hour M-F.

I'm 7 weeks post-op today and eat between 500-650 calories a day. My typical day at the Y consists of an hour of walking (at 3.0mph, with a 1% incline) followed by an hour of Water aerobics. I do that twice a day (8-10 am, and 6-8 pm), Monday-Thursday. Friday I only do the morning. Saturday and Sunday I walk an hour twice a day (no water aerobics classes offered on the weekends). I burn a little under 900 calories a day walking...the water aerobics adds another 600-800 calories, depending on the intensity of the class. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
