Just curious??
well I have found to maintain I have to stay within 1100 to 1200. Doesn't sound like much but sleeve makes it ok. I have a really slow metabolism as confirmed by a test. I think many of us do. Thats why we got fat! Diane

I have probably been eating 1800-2000 and that's why I have to lose 10 lbs again. 
I am starting a regimine today, where I want to eat 1200 calories a day with 50 grams of carbs or less to try to kick this 10 lbs bounce back to the curb. I might even exercise! 
P.S. For reference, because I think it's important, I'm 5'7.5" and today weighed 165.4

I was asking because, I finally printed some of my literature offline from my hospital site and it said for females 12 weeks and out/lifetime post VSG. Daily calories should be 800 to 1000 cals, I just thought that sounded soooo low!!!
Thanks everyone that responded!

Maintenance caloric intake 1300-1500 calories, some days I hit 1700, but that's typically a junk food day where I pretty much have a serving a chips or crackers and cheese as a snack.
If I go below about 1200 calories for a week to 10 days, I lose weight.
