Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

I had my surgery June 25

Yesterday I went to see my surgeon because I've been experiencing heartburn for the last week now. He told me that my calories are low I need to eat 1000-1200 calories a day. So he put me back to eating every 2hrs :-(

How are you doing with your eating?

I have noticed when I don't eat enough that my heartburn acts up as well. I am eating about 700-800 calories a day.

That could be it as well , now my problem is how to eat 1000cal as he recommended unless I drink them but that's not healthy either :-(

I'm always amazed at those calories...I find that I don't lose if I eat less than 1200 a day. I can easily get 1000 in per day, then work on the extra

I don't always track my calories but I guess I will. I have been very fortunate in the stall department. I usually just add them in my head but I will start using my fitness pal to do it. I sometimes wonder if I should up my calories but it scares me also.

You have the same surgery date at myself! Interesting that you eat more calories than me and have lost 5 more pounds than myself. Maybe I need to up my calories.....just a little scary though!

Trust me, I feel like a fatty eating so much more than everyone else here...

...until I remember that my journey is my own. What works for ME is what matters (along with my awesome doc's advice!). Good luck!!
