I was sleeved September 2012. I have kept pretty close to my Nut suggestions for daily calories. However, since I do drink occasionally and also have had some "off" days, I have had a few days where I have eaten 2,000 calories. I was curious who else has strayed into the 2,000 area or even beyond. I can't be the only one! :-) For what it's worth, my NUT put me on 1,600 a day as of Jan 2013, up from 1200-1300. I also workout 5 days a week. Anyone else feel guilty at 2,000? Funny in that this would have been a good day in my old days lol

To be straight up with you, even at 7 weeks, I don't think I could take in 2000 calories - unless I ate really calorie dense food. I feel lucky that I really don't ever feel hungry or have cravings - as long as I stay away from things like rice, pasta, and peanut butter. Wishing you the best on your journey.

I am 3 mo out, the most I ate was 1400 that was once, maybe twice. I drink wine on occasion but I allot for that in my calorie count. Honestly I feel so guilty going over 1200 calories....I usually eat 1100 per day. I know my nut will up it when I see her next week for my 3 mo check. I could exercise more too. I am in a cold climate it makes it harder so I try to keep the calorie count around 1000-1100 but once this winter breaks I will be increasing my exercise and calories.....

As long as you are steadily losing, then so be it!

I'm 8 weeks post-op and I think my "worst" day for calories was Super Bowl Sunday. I'm guessing it was around 1500 calories. I had a piece of cake (unlike some sleevers I unfortunately have no problem with bread or sweet stuff).

I usually try to stay around 800 calories..

Kim, you lost 92 lbs in 3 months??? OMG, that is wonderful. You look great!

My worst day so far (I'm only 3 months out) was in in the high 900's I'm to lazy to go look it up right now but I do know I had a run in with a piece if cake that day ......

I'm almost 5 months out. I was formerly very good about entering everything in Myfitnesspal, but I have slacked off for many weeks. However, I still track calories and intake more or less for myself personally.....after being on 20 zillion diets I pretty much know how to track my calories, almost by memory. If not, I look something up.

But anyway...my highest calorie day so far was around 1,200. I think I've done that twice, and both of those times were right before my TOM.

I'm 8 weeks out, and my worst day was 875, just this past week. I'm supposed to be between 400-800 calories. My nut said 800-1000 calories at about 6 months.

I have no issue with bread or sweets, either. And they are both like crack to me!

I'm not that high at 5 months. I may.....may have 1 day a week like that, but my typical is probably still around 600. Sometimes 500, sometimes 800

NO I didnt lose 92 lbs in 3 months...Oh My I wish!!! I am counting since August when I started my Weightloss Journey. I feel like its fair to count it because Weight lost is Weight lost!!! I met with my WL surgeon in August 2012 that is when I decided to change my lifestyle so I am counting the weightloss since then...

And actually bread seems much easier for me than dense Protein. I always heard bread feels like a brick after being sleeved. For me it is the protein.

Yesterday I had 1/3 of Five Guys small hamburger. It was HEAVEN. That little piece of hamburger was the best thing I've had in 8 weeks! And it was very easy for me to get down.

Yes, that was my worst day. I am usually between 600-800 calories. My typical is probably about 700. If I get below 550, I start feeling bad.

Haha, glad you enjoyed that! I LOVE being able to eat a small amount and be fully satisfied with it. I haven't tried a hamburger yet, but I just might

OMG! Did someone say Five Guys hamburger? Had surgery on Monday and I'm so craving that kind of food. My last day of the clear liquid diet was hard because I felt like my body wanted something more. Today I started the all liquid diet and despite the cravings, I'm just glad to be able to eat soup again.

Five Guys.................................................that was my last supper before surgery!
