leighw 12 Posted July 9, 2013 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...... 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted July 9, 2013 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. 1 Liz W reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leighw 12 Posted July 9, 2013 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! 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted July 9, 2013 When losing, I tried to stick between 1300-1500. 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j0anna 37 Posted July 9, 2013 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. 2 Liz W and PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
