    How do you get 1,000 cal a day in? I am lucky if I get 400 a day in.

This is crazy to me! I am 7 months out and can easily eat 1300 + calories if I wanted to. I have track it all or I will eat to much.

That's exactly how I am... If I don't track, I could easily probably reach 1800 calories/day. I have to watch every bite that goes in to my mouth.

me too.....:(

I met with my nutritionist yesterday and she told me to intake between 700 and 900 calories. I have the surgery on December 20 so it may be different for you. She told me eventually I will be working up to 1200 cal. She also told me that yr intake should be 35% protein, 35% Carbs and 30% fats. Hopefully this helps!
