Hi, I had surgery on the 21st of January so I'm almost 3 weeks out and I'm worried my calories are too high. I am on puréed foods now and I am getting about 800-900 cals a day. I have been at the same weight for almost a week. All together I have lost almost 40lbs so far, 26 of those were Pre op.

Just wondering how many calories people were getting at this stage?

You'll be right Beth. The calories / amount off food drops through the floor when you start eating 'real' food.

40lbs in 3 weeks - nice work!!

I also had surgery on the 21st. At the full liquid stage I was told my calorie goal was 600-800 and now I am on puréed my goal is 1000. It is very hard to get my Water and my calories in. I start soft food in Tuesday.

I was also sleeved on the 21st. I have never been over 800cal in 1 day but come very close everyday. I am sticking to 6-800cal, 80+ Protein and less than 30g carbs a day. I don't monitor anything else but those 3. I walk about 45min a day and as of today am down 30lbs since surgery.

I plan to start lifting weights in another 2 weeks and will probably up my calories to around 1000-1200 but can easily see myself burning 600cal a day at the gym

If you want to keep your calorie intake at 900 I would walk 20mins every day... make sure your getting your protein, plenty of Water and keep those carbs under 40g IMO.

Don't be worried just yet. I've gone through the same thing about 3 times in the past 6 weeks since surgery. My weight will drop constantly for a few days and then for 4 - 6 days I'll stay at the same weight. I think my body is going through a process of adjustment. It's not use to being on such a low calorie diet.

I am the 21st too and have been on a stall now for a week! It's very frustrating!!

It seems like everyone post about a stall at week 3. Wait it out. I bet you are losing inches

Well I might take my measurements again tonorrow, I think I'm having to much juice not enough water after looking back at what I've been consuming
