Just about everyone says you need to eat more to stay out of the starvation mode, to lose weight.

How many calories are you eating on a average to to this?

I am still strugling with stalls. I am eating about 700 cals a day and 6 weeks out . Most days I excerise and burn around 200 cals.

I'm 3 weeks out and I'm getting 300 calories a day if I'm lucky. I'm losing about a pound a day.

everyone's bodies are different. i say track your calories and see what works best for you for a while. that is what i had to do.

i do best around 1000-1200 on the days i exercise for an hour. on the days i don't i go between 700-900. that is when i get the best loss. it is getting harder and harder to lose tho the smaller i get. i have not lost anything for 2 weeks now!! :angry: and it is sure not for lack of trying! SIGH!

I stay between 600-800 a day. When I exercise the interval between losses is shorter but it comes off anyway in the end. I track Protein, carbs, calories, and Water.< /p>

I am terribly confused and frustrated with the whole calorie thing. I bounce between 1500-1000(1500 on exercise days)calories a day on maintenance . I got myself one of those body buggs like Biggest Loser. It measures how many steps and how many calories I burn a day and it factors in age height and weight. According to it after wearing it a week I burn on the average 2300 calories a day! I know that if I were to eat 2300 a day I'd gain! The numbers don't make sense. Oddly enough last year before my sleeve exercising just a bit less then I am now it calculated my daily expenditure was 2400.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
