Had surgery Nov 26th and I'm averaging around 850 calories a day now. Is this normal or am I eating too many? Rarely reaching my Protein goals, but trying very hard to eat healthy.

I was sleeved on 11/25 and had a doctor's appt today. Both the PA and the dietician said my target should be about 800. It seems like you're about right.

I was sleeved 11/27. My calories average about 800/day. Sometimes a little more if I've worked out hard and sometimes a little less. My NUT said to try to stay under 800/day.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback.

In my two months I'm down from 275 to 229. Very pleased with my weight loss so far, and I'm excited to be working out again!

I am 7 weeks out and find it hard to stay full but Im eating between 700 and 800 calories. A few times I have gone over but not many. I am down 37.5 lbs and pretty happy with that but darn! I see you are 2 months out and down 46 lbs! That's awesome!!! I probably need to exercise more.

I will say I am pretty good at getting my Protein each and every day. I hit 60 minimum but more than likely over 80 or 90. I eat at least one Protein Bar daily to get 20 in and then eat a lot of grilled chicken to get more. Ask your nut about the Protein Bar and see if you can have that to get in more Protein. They are high calorie but they give me LOTS of energy, have low sugar and the carbs aren't too bad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
