How many calories?

I'm just wondering how many calories people are currently getting in each day. Marie

I stay around 900-1000 calories a day and about 80-90 grams of protein. I spoke with my surgeon today at my 6 month checkup and told him what I was eating and he said that is great for right now and that I may be eating up to 1200/ day soon and to NEVER go over 1500. I felt good to know that what I was doing was good. Just needed my surgeons OK on that. Hope that helps. Hugs, Tabby

Hi Marie... I'm eating around 70-800 calories per day and getting in around 70g of protein. Just saw my surgeon a couple days ago and he was pleased with this info. Hope that helps. Susan

I'm glad to know that. I was reading the WLS graduate forum and they're talking about 1500 calories, so I was kind of worried. I'm getting in about 800 calories, 70 g of protein, but I've got to really work to get that in. Don't know how I could get much more in right now. Marie

My nut said 1000-1200 calories at this point. I told her I was eating more like 1200-1500 and she said that as long as I was okay with it she was okay. I do exercise at least 6 hours a week (5 hours cardio and 1 hour weights). I haven't come across any stalls yet (*knock wood*) so I guess I'll just keep it this way.

I've increased my calorie intake slightly this past month. I am currently eating between 800-1000 calories a day depending. I shoot for 80g of protein - thats my #1 goal.
