Hi all! I'm new here so firstly hello Secondly, I had gastric sleeve surgery on October 24th 2016. I am currently 79kgs and hoping I can get to my goal weight of 65kgs through healthy eating, exercise and utilising the sleeve. I was just wondering, for people who are almost 1 year PO, how much are you eating calorie wise and how much can you eat? I am so trying my hardest to eat no more than 1200cals per day, but sometimes I think I can eat more :/ After researching online, all of the WLS forums seem to stick by 1100 calories MAXIMUM for WLS patients trying to lose weight. I just need some help here ... this seems like such a small amount? Considering we're meant to eat such high protein foods! A little bit of background, I'm 163cms and have lost 53kgs since my surgery. I try and exercise atleast 2 times a week and the only food I struggle with is chicken! Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

Thank you for your response I definitely eat more than 500 calories lol I am eating 1200 calories a day, maybe sometimes 1300. I am trying to exercise 3 times a week, for 45 minutes to 1 hour a day. Not including walking around my office to and from work. My weight loss has slowed down, I've still got 14kgs to get to my goal weight and I'm wondering if it's possible. I also think I'm not drinking enough water, how much water are you drinking a day?

Hello! Thanks for your response yay for us having the same surgery date! Just to clarify, are you eating 1400cals a day? And how much are you exercising? I'm exercising 1 hour 3 times a week and trying to eat 1200 cals a day. My weight loss has slowed down so I'm wondering what / if I'm doing something wrong!
