At 3 weeks, my recommended calorie limit was 800 a day. 75% lean protein and 25% from vegetables.

I'm 11wks an my nut advised me to get 1000-1100 calories per day. That however is easier said than done. Me personally I am having a real problem :( when I feel hungry I take a few bites and I'm done. Eating more I feel sick or loose it all. I've slowed my eating and eat with a small baby spoon so bites are not too large. The nut advised me that I shouldn't have to worry about calories because my intake is so limited that I'm only getting in about 1/2 and feel as if I am eating all the time :(. Hope things are going more smoothly for you!

For my 1st 6 months, I was limited to about 1/2 cup of food per meal. Almost everything upset Frankensleeve. It would take 30 minutes to finish my 1/2 cup.

I tried to make the best of it, thinking of how much weight I was losing. And I tried to get into the habit of picking the most nutritious food I could get per bite - since I felt like I was eating so little.

Make the most of this time, and when the Honeymoon period is over, all your good eating habits will be so automatic, you won't even have to think about food choices and how much to eat to stay on track.
