How many calories per day?

[nursehr80 18]

What is your average calorie intake on a daily basis? I am just outside of 8 mos post op. I had some post op complications and had to have back surgery unexpectedly in December. So, I am just starting on my fitness pal and exercise is limited to walking at the moment. I have had steady weight loss since surgery - but now that I am recovered from my rough 2013 - need to get serious about what is going in my body. My intake today was 900 calories. (Sorry for the repost - didn't want to miss anyone)

im 7 months out. lost 200lbs in 9 months total.. i was at 1000 but working out like 600 per day.. i just increased to 1300 because i don't want to lose anymore!!! Crazy i can say i don't want to lose anymore. I just did it so waiting for next weigh in in a couple of weeks.

Id say to you stay around 800-1000

Umm, if this (quote listed below) is the case.....keep on doing what you are doing!

Sometimes trying harder will just cause you more stress and for some too much exercise too fast can do funny things to the body. Whatever you do, easy does it. Exercise is fantastic for a great many things. Jumping in and going from zero to 100 is not a healthy move for most of us.
