I'm 8 months out - I consume about 1,000 calories daily. Sometimes I do hit 1,200, not more than that.

Don't just base your caloric intake on what everyone else is doing. You also need to factor in how much you are exercising. For a normal, non-sleeved person our bodies need about 1200 calories a day just to perform its daily basic functions. At eight months out I was averaging around 1100 calories a day. I was working out at a gym daily and not losing anything. My fiancé, who is a personal trainer and nutritionist insisted I wasn't giving my body enough fuel and upped my calories to 1450 per day. I was mortified, but agreed to give it a shot. Sure enough, he was right and I started losing every week again.
