I'm very curious to know how many calories per day everyone is consuming. I'm taking in 1200 to 1300 a day and gaining weight and or at a major stall, at 7 months out.

I take in between 900 to 1200 a day. I vary it daily. I'm 8 months out and that happened to me. I started exercising more and finally broke the stall!

I'm about 5 months and try to stay 900-1000, but sometimes a little less, sometimes more. I try to never go over 1200, but I have a couple of times. I don't think I lose any faster eating 600-800.

I believe exercise does make a difference. I also am hearing things about sleeve patients and our basal metabolic rates. I was recently told that if I want to boost my weight loss I need to take in a lot more protein. I think somewhere around 160 a day. I was also told I could check my BMR at every appointment with my surgeon or NUT. It has a lot to do with muscle loss. I just posted a question regarding protein and BMR today. So far I have been averaging 600-700 calories a day. I have lost 70 lbs overall and 60+ of that total is after surgery(2/5/13). I honestly have not had much time to dedicate to exercise because I work 2 jobs. I am planning to change that as soon as possible though. I think my weight loss has been great and I am happy with it but i will investigate any chance I have to safely boost the weight loss even more. Good luck to you!

I am also about 8 months out and am stalling, but I do notice that I am loosing inches here and there and working out helps .... remember muscle weighs more ..... I do however need to get back to counting calories been really lazy this last month working on the road ..

My NUT told me to stop counting calories but I feel like I'm eating around 600-900 cals now. She told me to measure my food. She recommends I eat 1/2-3/4 cup of food per meal, 3 times a day. I also get to eat 2 snacks a day and that can only be about 1/4 cup of food twice a day. It's been hard especially with the head hunger but I've been sticking to her plan and I've lost about 6 pounds this past week.

My nut advised to trick your body do it doesn't famine so eat 600 one day then 1100 the next.
