How many calories are you eating a day

How many calories are you eating a day

I've been getting around 500 most days. I don't think It's enough, but my approved foods don't have a ton of calories.

My surgery was 9-3 and I was instructed to eat 900 calories. I'm suppose to stay there until 6 months post op them it can go up to 1200 or near there to maintain. I would check with your doctor though

Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

I get about 400-500... I didn't know if that was the norm. I've also only lost one pound this week.

I think once we're about a month out, we're supposed to be getting around 800. My drs diet is pretty strict. It's all meat and dairy and only carbs from veggies, so It's been hard to get over 600 calories. I'm convinced my body will eventually go into starvation mode and it will hold onto everything I put in my mouth lol...that's what I'm afraid of at least!

Ya. I get 400-500 cals too and I lost 25 lbs since sept 16 my surgery date. But have lost nothing this last week! So freaking upsetting but hopefully my metabolism kicks back in.

Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?
I had my surgery Sept 26. Was doing well until recently. I feel weak and tired. Any one else feeling that

I had surgery Sept 16th, and this last week has been brutal with being tired and having ZERO energy. I have napped almost everyday and my husband is making fun of me. I do not like to sleep, I feel like sleep is a waste of time, so for me to nap is completely irregular.

So, today I stayed awake all day and made sure I took in 70-grams of protein and 64-oz of water, but don't really feel any different.

I have not started exercising though since surgery. I have a terrible back-ache and it hurts to much to exercise. I have never had back problems, so I am unsure what this is all about.

Tomorrow, I am 4-weeks Post op and I don't want to stall, so hopefully this will pass.

I lost one pound this week too

Im glad others are having this problem bc it must be a normal body plateau but its still discouraging.

Anyone started exercising?

Besides plain walking, I started lap swimming.

Anyone started exercising?

I've started jogging...once or twice a week lol. Not a lot of energy :/ I stalled(actually gained some) for almost two wks which was depressing as hell, but suddenly the past three days, I dropped two lbs per day! I didn't change anything and it wasn't that time of the month so idk what's up with that

I think most of us are having this stall thing. Maybe our body needs to catch up with the weight loss. I loathe jogging so power to you!
