1000 Calories



Recommended Posts

I just joined my fitness pal this week and it looks like I fm averaging 900 to 1000 calories a day at three months out. Is this normal? I noticed other sleevers set a goal of 700 to 800 a day... What is your calorie goal?

personally I think that that is perfect. I actually ate 1200-1400 a day after 3 months for weight loss. I maintain at about 1800-2000

LOL I just asked a similar question in MFP. I'm at 900 calories, the NUT suggests 1000+. I moved up to 1000 for a few days but it freaked me out! LOL. I am losing nicely and don't find myself too hungry (i have random days where I feel ravenous) so in sticking at 900 for now. I also exercise 4-5 times a week and burn between 400-500 calories with each of those workouts. There's no way I'd be able to do them eating 500-700 calories a day. I always "bank" my calories from exercise even though MFP tries to give them to you to use.

I see my NUT and NP in a week so I'll ask then.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
