MFP food diary calories VSG
I've been using My Fitness Pal to log my food. I have for the last four days been around 1200 calories (not trying just what it has been coming out to).
I'm roughly 9-10 weeks post op VSG. Any idea how many calories you were consuming at this point? Just curious.

i am one day before you and i am around 500-600 calories each day.
I was at 600 calories from about 8 weeks until 5 months. I upped to 800 then, and up to 1000 at 6 month checkup because my surgeon wanted me there. That lasted about 2 weeks and I realized I wasn't losing and went back to 700-800.
I've stalled a little recently, so going back to 600 for a week or so to see if it nudges that scale a little. After that I intend to stay around 800 until maintenance.
ETA: I use the Baritastic app instead of MFP

I was also at 600-800. I just had my 6 month checkup last week and was told again not to go over that level until I'm closer to goal.I know the others in my program don't go over that amount either.
At 9-10 weeks I was at 400-600 calories. I averaged below 800 calories until I reached goal (now I average about 1300 calories).
