Everyone is different. I was taking in about 800-1000 but it all depends on what you eat.

Really depends on your activity level and size. A couch potato is going to need far less than someone who is in the gym 5 days a week.

What do you consider "losing weight"? 10 pounds a month?

How active are you? How active are you willing to be?

Starting month 5 and calories are 800-1200 depending on my exercise level. Closer to 800 on the days I don't exercise and closer to 1200 on hard days at the gym.

My NUT told me ideally they want around 1200 calories for me by 6 months and I am pretty much there most days now but it sure took a lot of work to get there.

I will be 3 months out on the 10th and average between 800-1000 calories a day.

I have a sedentary lifestyle, with half an hour of slow walk (1 mile ) and some exercise for 15 minutes.

10 pounds every month will be good enough for me.

Now what do you suggest ?

That's all that I am losing monthly and sometimes less which is actually okay for me. I think if you are sedentary I personally would try somewhere between 700-1000 daily?

      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?

      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.
