Yes about 500. I just had my 4 month anniversary I'm at 800 calories.

I'm at 4 weeks. I'm averaging about 700 now. Probably was at 600 or a bit more a week ago. I'm trying to keep things below 800, but will be increasing in the next couple of. Months to get closer to 1200.

I'm 3 weeks as of yesterday. Wow. I guess I'm on the low side of calories. I have had a few days around 500 but mostly in the low 400's. I guess it depends on your program and what your doc has you eating when. I just got full clearance to soft foods. The last two weeks I have been on select soft foods only.

I'm around 200-470 3 weeks today. Depending how I'm feeling I'll be able to snack and that makes my calories higher.

Three weeks out I was about 400 calories a day (just looked back over MFP).

I am almost six weeks now and averaging about 500 cal/day.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
