Need some feedback. I am 4 weeks post op and am now on a reg diet. Started using "my fitness pal" again to help me keep track. Right now I have my calories set for 1500. I haven't had a fill yet so I am feeling very little restriction however there is some. My question is, did i set my calories too high? I'm not sure where I should be. MFP says I should be loosing weight with that number but I'm not sure. Feedback please......

Depends on the person...male or famale? My calories are set for 1,200 and I'm having a difficult time reaching that goal. I average around 8-900 cals a day now, but I haven't experienced any adverse affects of being so low.

Female...I am hungry and could easily go over 1500 if I wanted to but I am usually around 1300 or 1400. Can't wait for my first fill!

When losing, I tried to stick between 1300-1500.

My dr's office says 800-1200 calories. My dr said as long as I'm getting enough Protein and choosing protein first not to really stress about calories.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
