How Many Calories Do You Eat ?

[Jackie's girl 32]

I am averaging between 600-900 per day. I was also concerned about nutrition and potentially entering starvation mode. When I asked doc he was like "are you hungry?" when I said no he said ok less food equals Weightloss. I still have an issue and am waiting to talk to Nutritionist. Glad to hear others are equally concerned.

I haven't lost any weight in like 5 days and am pretty sure low calories is the reason.

During my 2 weeks of liquids post op, my nurse told me not consume less than 800 calories. I had trouble doing 600, but 2 weeks is not a lot of time. I am not even counting the weight loss during that time becasue now I'm back to 1200 calories which is what I did pre op. I have to say I don't agree with your doctor, but that is for me. I have been losing weight for 20 years and you get to know what works for you. I don't not lose weight if I under consume, but that is just me. For some people it obviously works, but less food does not equal weightloss for me. It is about making healthy food choices and finding what works for you. Like I know many people who lose weight without exercising, but not me. I guess you have to learn what works for you, but if I did 800 calories over the long run, that would not be good for me.
