Calorie Intake 4 Months Post Op

[Quelyn01 25]

I'm trying to figure out what my calorie intake should be. I'm eating all foods except beef, corn, and grapes. I'm almost 4 months post op, for those of you in this stage or past it, what is your calorie in take on average?

7 weeks out and average is 800

I am 24 weeks post-op (almost 6 months) and my average calorie intake is approx. 750 daily. While that seems low, I do get at least 60 g of Protein in daily, and I try to keep my carbs to 40 g or less a day.

With this regimen, lots of Water, and some walking, I'm down approx. 90 lbs and averaging about 12 lbs/month weight loss for the last 3 months.

And best of all, I'm almost NEVER hungry, even with such low caloric intake.

That being said, I've joined a gym as of mid-November and will be starting circuit training, weights and more swimming. So I will need more calories and more carbs to offset all that exercise, and to keep my workouts effective.
