Calories at 4 months

How many calories are you all eating at 4 months? I'm aware that every doctor has different recommendations, but just curious! Thanks [emoji4]

I don't focus on calories but my food tracker (I use the free part of Lose It, works great and you can even scan barcodes) does so I see what I eat. I'm only three months out and usually in the 800-900s. I lose ounces pretty much daily. Very slow weight loss but VERY steady. I eat tons of fat apparently. I don't try to but I eat full fat everything and I see my pie chart at the end of each day

I'm not stopping eating fat since I am continuously losing at a steady pace. About 35 lbs down since before pre op diet. But I was a low BMI obese person.

What was your BMI


I was right around 900 calories at 3-4 months post op. I'm now about 1100-1300 at 9.5 months out.

I was probably around 750-800 at that time. Now I'm about 1250 and am 1 year and 4 months out


I hit four months next week and looking back at my food logs I average between 750-850.

I'm just over four months out now, and usually end the day around 1000-1100 calories. I've never received a specific target from my doc or nutritionist, but since I recently increased my protein goals my calories went up a bit as well.
