I'm 2 months out an consuming about 600-800 calories a day, and exercising. Roughly how many calories are people eating? Would love to hear from people who are at goal and maintaing weight as well.

I am 5 lbs. from goal at 9 months. I went to doctor today and NUT told me to stay between 800-1,000 til I lose the 5 lbs. and then increase to 1,200 to maintain. I have never been able to get in over 900 per day and usually average around 800. I am actually more concerned with carbs, which she said to increase from 60g per day while still losing and increasing to 150g per day to maintain. I can't even get in over 30g for sure. I need to start eating more to maintain and not keep losing! Luv my sleeve at 9 months.

I am three years out and was nearly at goal when I encountered major medical issue which resulted in my gaining back thirty pounds. I didn't change my eating habits, it was just a combination of the medical problems, inability to exercise, meds and hormones. I am now back fairly regulated, eating about 1350 calories a day and losing an average of 1.5 pounds per week.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
