Hey all!

How many calories were you or are you eating at 3 months?

Hey I'm 3 months now and I don't know how to count my calories but I can eat quite a bit and that scares me because some people who are about 9 months in can't eat as much as me. I eat everything too with no discomfort.

I haven't counted mine lately, but mostly under 1000. I certainly could press it above that, and have, but that's an average . The PA at my surgeons office told me to not follow blogs---they would be discouraging and not "my" journey. But I do and I understand the need to see if you are doing things right. Are you losing?

I'm at 3 months as well

I'm at 3 months as well

I eat around 800-1000. I work out daily for about an hour and burn around 600 calories with my workout. I have lost a total of about 47lbs including my two week pre-op diet.

I'm eating around 1000 cals per day give or take 50. I bumped it up to 1200cals for some time when I was 2 months post op, but I switched back to a low-carb diet 2 weeks ago and find that I don't need 1200. Right now I'm satisfied with 1000.

I was told to try to stay under 1000 calories. Im usually between 700-1000. I feel like I'm losing slow though. Surgery was May 31. I've lost like 37# and went down 1 size. Im not complaining, I'm grateful for what I've lost but of course seeing others success can make me feel like I should be doing better.

I have an app that tracks protein and calories so I eat on average 500-600 calories and at least 90 protein. I exercise 2-3 times a week for 30-45 min. My Dr. said don't keep track of the calories just the protein and don't go over 2 oz per meal. Even though I feel I can eat more than that!

You could be eating more than is on your plan to eat. You don't know how ? With a weighing scale? Were you not told to eat no more than set ounces per meal? Just because you can eat as much as a 9m out person doesn't mean you should lol

Wow that's amazing

What is your meal plan like ?

Maybe I should try that. I eat 4 ounce per meal.

No I wasn't told that, I wasn't given a plan, I wasn't told to weigh my food and track calories. And yes doesn't mean that I should BUT I can, as compared to two friends that had the surgery before me.

You do realize everyone is different though right?? Anyway I'm 22lbs away from my goal weight of 120lbs so I'm happy with my progress even with eating and not tracking in 3 months [emoji111]️

You said what you can eat scares you, hence why i mentioned something as you sound concerned. Yes I am fully aware everyone is different, you did not say " I eat what a 9 month out person can eat, and I am fine about that" I am not judging you lol jeese i was trying to help lol. I dont always track either you said " I DONT KNOW HOW" So trying to help i told you how i was not telling you you should weigh your food .. wow lol

I have just seen your comment on the other post calling me a troll, I have never even seen you before. Neither have i had issues on any posts , so your clearly confused. I will not even bother to respond to you if i see you again. pathetic. Bye If i could block you i would but i will probably forget you on the next post.

I was eating about 900-1000 at about 3 months out and now eat around 1100-1300 calories depending on the day.

Please don't feel alone! I am in the same boat as you. Surgery was July 4th and I'm down 38#'s as of today. I know that there is no way I could have lost this much w/o the sleeve...but when I read other peoples posts on here it bums me out a bit.
