How Many Calories Per Day?

[grannykathy 31]

I am 6 weeks post surgery and have lost 40 pre and 40 post. I have 100 to go or maybe less...depending. Just wondering...how many calories do you all eat each day? I am keeping close track of food and exercise on My Fitness Pal. I try to keep calories around 700-800...does that sound right to those of you who are maybe 2-3 months out? I feel as if I'm not hungry and I am getting 80 Protein grams per day.

You may need no to ask your dr or dietician. I was told My Fitness Pal is not completely accurate for us due to our surgery. I only use it to track my cals/protein because it's more convenient than writing it down.

Am almost 8 weeks out and get about the same.

Im 8 months out and track in my fitness pal. I avg about 800 cal a day and 65-90 g of Protein. I have lost 141 lbs... so it's working for me!!

My calorie intake is really low on mfp. I saw my nut and she said 1200 calories and 150 carbs a day. Try getting that in lol

I'm on pre-op at 800 Calories a day (or trying to be 800 calories a day) - its so freaking hard when you're hungry all the time! Can't wait for post op!!!!

Am down 60 lbs and still 120 to go

I stop counting calories since I started eating like a bird lmbo I do try to eat 800c but hardly make it.

I am almost a year out on 11/21. Saw my nutrionist and dr on Friday. They told me to stay around 1000 calories a day, minimum 60 gr of Protein, maximum of 60 carbs and at least an hour of exercise daily. For every extra hour of exercise add 20 gr of protein. As of Friday I was down 136 lbs in less than a year. So its working for me.

Wow an hour a day. That seems like a dream at my weight right now. Can't wait for that to be an option for me.

I'm a little over 3 months out and get 550-950 calories and 50-75g Protein a day.

At four months out I vary widely from 400-800 daily. Today I skipped lunch (bad I know but busy at work) so only had 250. Not a good idea... Actually have more energy when closer to 600-800!
