Just wanting a idea of how many calories everyone is getting daily.  I'm focusing so hard on my protein, that I think I may be getting to few calories...

 Had my sleeve on 6/6.  I've been using the Nutrition Tracker on this site since 6/12, and according to that, I'm averaging 688 cal/day.

Some seem to struggle to get up to the 6-800 calorie range that many docs recommend for their programs; I'm struggling to keep it down around 1000 at 6 wks (but no problem on protein  - 90-100gm/day typically. YMMV

1st support group/seminar - 8/03 (has it been that long?)

  Food: 991kcal (Fat: 39.36g, Protein: 114.37g, Carbs: 44.81g)
Those are my current averages.

But at your time out, I was between 600-800 calories a day.

I'm right at 800 per day +/- 20.....rarely deviate from that.
Are you tracking your protein, calories, carbs, etc daily?
It really helps and only takes a few minutes a day with My Fitness Pal or
other trackers. If you're a tech type, I think there is a free phone app.

Okay, I am about to be sleeved and I have been wondering about this too.

In the past, if i ate under 1000 calories a day I would feel sick and light headed. Does the surgery change this somehow? I think I would be weak and ill on anything under 1000 calories a day. Will I feel that way after my surgery if I can only eat such a small amount?

Thanks!
On my way!!!!!!
