How much are you eating?

Hey there I'm post sleeve as of May 8, 2015 and I'm taking in a max of 500 calories, how are you guys eating? I just started working out 2 weeks ago where I usually burn a minimum of 400 calories. Oh, one more thing I've lost a total of 42lbs since May.

Wow 48 lbs. That is great. I was sleeved may 6 im getting in about 550 calories but that includes my 2 protein shakes a day. My coworkers who have had it done say im not eating enough but I don't feel like I can do more at this time. Im getting really discouraged I am only down 19 lbs since surgery I don't see how I can eat that little and not lose.My nutritionist is on vacation so not sure how much I should be eating at this point.

Sleeved 5/21. Eat about 700 calories and a minimum of 55 or 60 g protein. Trying to get all my protein from food because the protein drinks go right through me and the diarrhea is awful. So I use Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese and beans. There is a new protein vegetable steamer I plan to try today. I use Myfitnesspal to track. Down about 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I've done some research and time and time again I've read and been told to increase my calories to at least 700. So, to those of you who have stalled this should be the key for your break through! Thanks for all the responses I appreciate each of you greatly :)

Please do your measurements ppl! The scale is not the only thing to pay attention to. You will be shocked and really be able to see your progress when you see how many inches you have lost!

I did start measuring myself about 3 weeks ago and have dropped 3 inches

Wow you're doing GREAT!
