I'm curious...

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

I'm about 6 months post op and I was curious what others who have had the surgery and are eating regular foods eat? How many calories do you stick to?

I try to stay below 800 calories. The problem is I've been extra hungry lately. I've been having trouble with my food and liquid intake.

I just wanted some inspiration from others who are doing well.

I have way more than 800. More like 1000-1300. Still losing. I eat what I want, just smaller amounts and Protein first.

I had to ask my doc because I was trying to eat around 800/day, but even the smallest meals added up too quickly for me to no time exceed that amount. My doc told me to eat around 1500/day. I exceed that most days, but use my fitness pal and it calculates the extra calories I get from exercise. I had surgery in August (18th) and am down 81 pounds from my highest weight. I am still losing weight and feel better with the extra calories. I was dragging without them. I will say my weight loss has slowed to between 1-2 pounds a week, but I am sort of glad, because my skin is getting saggy and my hair is falling out so bad! I'm hoping that losing slower will help with these things. I have lost over half my hair now.

@@Jen Mac I know, I eat small meals and I reach or exceed my goal so quickly. It gets discouraging because I'll be hungry in the afternoon but already be at like 700 calories.

You have done great! My hair hasn't really been falling out but I am starting to get sagging skin already! I'm not even close to goal and I have bat wings and a stomach flap. I'm worried it's going to get really bad by the time I reach goal! Well, that's what plastic surgery is for I guess.
