I had my surgery on Sept. 30th.  I started at 296 and I'm down to 181 (115 lbs. gone).  How many calories should I be eating a day?  I forgot to ask my nut.

I eat anywhere from 1000 to 1200  calories when I eat the things I am suppose to however I don't always do that.  If I got down to 800 I am starving!!!

I'm between 900 and 1200.  It seems that my calories are lower during the week when I work and higher during the weekends.

At this point, it's really going to vary. My program recommends staying under 800 calories until you are at goal but also says most people are on 1000-1200 by one year out. Since not everyone is at goal by one year out, that's a bit contradictory.

I am at goal and I also train for triathlons. So I am eating about 1200-1400 a day ... and still losing weight! I think I have to up my calories substantially or I'm going to be skin and bones.
