2 Months--Calories?

[hannarbrts 2]

Had surgery Nov 26th and I'm averaging around 850 calories a day now. Is this normal or am I eating too many? Rarely reaching my Protein goals, but trying very hard to eat healthy.

I was sleeved on 11/25 and had a doctor's appt today. Both the PA and the dietician said my target should be about 800. It seems like you're about right.

What kind of weight loss are you showing I was sleeved 11/25

I was sleeved 11/27. My calories average about 800/day. Sometimes a little more if I've worked out hard and sometimes a little less. My NUT said to try to stay under 800/day.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback.

In my two months I'm down from 275 to 229. Very pleased with my weight loss so far, and I'm excited to be working out again!

I am 7 weeks out and find it hard to stay full but Im eating between 700 and 800 calories. A few times I have gone over but not many. I am down 37.5 lbs and pretty happy with that but darn! I see you are 2 months out and down 46 lbs! That's awesome!!! I probably need to exercise more.

I will say I am pretty good at getting my Protein each and every day. I hit 60 minimum but more than likely over 80 or 90. I eat at least one Protein Bar daily to get 20 in and then eat a lot of grilled chicken to get more. Ask your nut about the Protein Bar and see if you can have that to get in more Protein. They are high calorie but they give me LOTS of energy, have low sugar and the carbs aren't too bad.
