are the numbers to high?

Sunny, Thats about where I am at and somedays I don't get that high. I have been pretty stable for a while. I hope I'm not eating too much. I'm not gaining but I'm not losing either. Karin

Those numbers sound a bit like mine for yesterday...I seem to be getting in on average 1200-1300 cal a day. I bet that's why I'm not loosing anymore. I seem to be maintaining around 148-150 lbs. I just want to be loosing again so I'm trying to reduce my caloric intake. I have my 9 month visit on 5/4 so I'm going to check with my surgeon to see if my caloric intake is ok. These are my totals from fitday yesterday... calories - 1363 fat - 72g carbs - 93g (too many!) protein - 99g Today is a bit better...by the time I get home I will be at...(not including dinner) calories - 896 fat - 39g carbs - 48g protein - 88g Kristy

Not at all. My nutrtionist said to never fall below 1200 calories a day and stay within 1200-1400 calories a day. For fat grams, she said to stay below 50 (and in my opinion that is pretty hard to do, although I try my hardest to do it), Carbs, well....I don't count them, and she didn't say anything about that....and protein....I think that is probably a little low, she says to be at least 70 g. a day, it won't hurt you if you fall below it and are above 50 every once in a while, but she recommends staying around 70 or above. I try to get in at least 85 a day, sometimes I am quite a bit below it, other days I can hit 120, depends if I eat a protein bar or not. Although, I've stopped losing again, and I'm doing what they tell me, and I'm starting to wonder if I should cut back on everything! I've been so frustrated!!! Judy 359/256/262/165-185? -97

I wondered how you were doing. I was looking ofr our 8/16 post every week and it was no there. I was starting to get worried bout you. My surgeon says not be be getting 1200-1400 until you want to maintain. Unless your output is extremely high. I will have tto refernce what we should be gettting at this stage for his program I try to stay under 1000 a day. I know for sure he wants, no more than 25 grms fat, 100 carbs and at least 80 protein and the fat and carbs are after you get your daily protein and at least 64 oz water. thats where I always fall short. I am not a big drinker. maria
