If what you are doing is working then stick with it. My only concern is 1800 calories is a lot of calories to eat being you are that far out - quantity wise. If you are eating that much you should be eating like 6 times a day 300 calories. Whether you are burning it off or not, your pouch is only so big and you don't want to overfill it.

Many people here suggest not eating the exercise calories. I would say if you are hungry, eat some of them... if not- it is not necessary.

You are just coming up on 6 months out from surgery. It will start to get harder to lose at some point and you may need to adjust.

I mean how many grams of sugar not carbs can one have?

Just curious.... why would you eat back some of the calories you burned? 

We just got a Ninja Master Prep Professional (QB1004) for under $50 on Amazon. We like it so much we got another for my son's college apartment. It comes with three different containers for different uses, but it is still less expensive than others. It makes great protein shakes, pulverizing ice cubes into slush. 

I think because most of us here watch our sugars so closely, you will struggle to find many who juice on a regular basis. I did try juicing about 2 years ago, and I found it less satisfying and less beneficial than doing a smoothie-based diet. When you blend instead of juice, you still get all the fiber from your food, and you need less of the sugary fruits to make a serving than with juicing, because the flavor profile is greater for the whole fruit/vegetable than when you just extract the juice. Plus you can try all kinds of combos and have fun with it. Preop I was having a smoothie for breakfast and for dinner, and a normal light lunch. It was very maintainable.
