It depends on my day. I eat lighter on days I don't go to the gym. I avg between 700 - 900, but occasionally I am high or lower. For example, this was a crazy week with doctor's appointments and such. I had 2 days where I was just under 700 and today I was at 926. I think most days I hit around 850. The difference is I was running around like cray today and I started my day with a really vigorous aquafit class. I hit 6mth on the 18th.

I was getting in 500-600 calories everyday for the first 6 months. Right around my 6 month mark, I increased my calories to 850. I lost 5 pounds in the first four days of the increase. It was incredible. I am now doing 2-3 days a week at 850 and 500-600 the rest of the week. It seems so prevent stalling, for me at least.

Count me as someone else who was shocked when I dropped weight after increasing calories. My surgeon also told me that at under 700 calories a day you're as likely to lose muscle as you are fat an that's definitely not good for the long haul so he's advised me to stay above 700 calories on a regular basis.

I usually end up around 800-900 daily and I am 9 months out.

At 6 and 7 months out I was eating 1,000 - 1,200 calories a day.

I'm 8 months and 4 days post-op, and I just hit my goal today ... 150 pounds!

I'm around 700 - 850 calories a day, but lately I've occasionally gone up as much as 900. I'm 7 mths out. I've lost 80ls, but I still have a long way to go so I try to stay in the 800 range. I'm working out 5 - 6 days a week so that may have to do with the increased appetite, but I'm keeping my eye on it.

Forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS! @@VSGAnn2014 !

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
