I'm 9 months post op what should my daily calorie intake be

[kempermorris 144]

This calories in / calories out formula is simply not valid for everyone.

It is well known that most people who have been very overweight need fewer calories to maintain a new lower weight than people who have always been at that lower weight.

I wish people would stop sending out those old formulas.

For example, my bariatric Dr is a bariatric patient himself. For him to maintain his loss, he eats 2 meals a day and eats less than his always slender wife.

What someone needs at 9 months depends on their own circumstances.

Those formulas have misled a lot of us. We all need to listen to our own doctors and our own bodies.

Also. 1100 calories might be right for one person, too little for another, and too much for yet another.

@@Mocca I was simply trying to help. In a few months I will reach my goal of losing 235 lbs. Its NOT just calorie consumption. Its WHAT you eat. The reason you were fat in the first place is you made poor food choices. All of that has to change. Exercise MUST be added to be successful. If you want to sit on your couch with your remote control & hope the weight falls off because you've eaten 1100 calories is absolutely insane. You don't have a FRIGGIN CLUE what you're talking about & I dong appreciate you chastising me.So keep your lame stupid comments to yourself. If you can't add anything positive then keep your DAMN MOUTH SHUT!!. Idiots like you piss me off. Eat your 1100 calories in snicker bars & lay on the couch & whine about not losing weight. WHAT AN IDIOT!!

Its a proven fact that lifting weights will increase your metabolism & healthy eating along with moderate exercise will speed up the process. Some people are so negative they think the tried & true method is outdated. There is no magic bullet. To be successful takes hard work. Some people are willing to make the sacrifice & do it & right the ship so to speak & others are not. And that's fine if they don't want to but don't try to argue that the method that has been proven to be accurate is obsolete. The only thing obsolete is your thinking. You're a prime example of THEY WALK AMONG US!!
