Just curious to see on average how many calories are you guys consuming daily? How far out are you? I am 3.5 months out and get about 850 calories.

For the first six months I stayed under 800 calories. For 6 months until goal, I stayed under 1100 calories. So it sounds like pretty similar to what you are doing.

I am six months out and average 1100 calories a day.

2.5 mths out and avg 800 a day.

Great question! You read my mind. For the past 4 months I have not really kept a strict record. But I believe I started at 400 calories right after surgery and I think I'm up to 1000-1200 on more days than not now. Crazy, but it looks like that might be too many calories for me to loose even 1 lb a week. Exercise is sporadic, not consistent, so that may be an issue as well. I feel like I'm at a point where I really have to reevaluate the calories as well as the Protein in order to continue the rate of weight loss I had before. I didn't want to have to track everything, but it looks like I will be more successful if I do now.

At 11 months i had hit goal and my doctor actually thought i looked sickly and wanted me to gain about 10 lbs....i eat about 2200 calories a day and have managed to gain 10 lbs in the last 3 months...dialing back to around 2000 now

I'm just at 5.5 months and still average 800 per day. Also, my pouch hasn't seemed to change to accommodate any more than 1/2 c of food at a meal. One bite too many and I'm foaming. Hence, I eat one bite short of it.

I am 1.5 years out and eat 12-1500. Maintains my 165 weight. I am 5 foot 8.

I'm 2 months post op, and up until 3 days ago I was between 5-600. I went from 700, to 800, to 900 the past 3 days and am up .8 pounds. It's def because I'm eating 3 Quest bars as Meal Replacements instead of real food . They're so yummy, but today I'm back to real food and will only use a Quest bar in case of emergency.

I am right at 12 weeks out and averaging about 650 calories a day.

Almost a year out and I have just started hitting between 8-900 calories a day.

In the early weeks, the amount of calories usually correlates with how far out you are.

1-3 Weeks: 200-300

4 Weeks: 400-500

6-8 Weeks: 600-800

I was at about 800-900 until about 6 months. Then I stalled out, and went up to 1000. That did the trick. At 2+ years out, I maintain on 1200-1300 and seem to gain anything over that (Boo!) When I need to lose a few pounds, I go back down to 800 and that works.

I'm 8-900 most days at 9 weeks out. Some days I go up to 1100. No idea how you all keep your calories so low!

My biggest fear is that I will screw up my metabolism and have to maintain at 1000 calories or lower when I am done losing weight.

I was on 5-600 from months 2-5. I stalled for a week so increased to between 8-900. Started losing regularly again. I'm just over 6 months and keep under 1000 a day.
