When did everyone begin increasing their calories?

[sammy246 235]

Almost 3 months post-op and hover around 600-700 per day. I don't want to stall out or ruin my metabolism going too low for too long!

I am only two months out and lately have been eating 900 kcals. But I'm doing Keto and the fat in my foods bumps it up.

I'm also three months out soon and hover around 500-700 calories a day. I don't think I could eat more as I struggle with solid foods as it is. I really would love some rotisserie chicken soon without throwing up.

I almost wish I couldn't eat anything. It's a blessing and a curse.

I'm only 9 weeks out but I can only get in like 450-650 max and the 650 end is if I really push it.

Hi do you get a good weight loss with that many calories? I'm exercising every day at the moment and am so hungry all the time but I'm scared to eat more in case I stop losing or worse still put it on. Thanks

Apparently I'm in the top percentile for weight loss at my doc's office, so yes! Lost 97 pounds in about 6 months so far. I was worried about it too, but my doc said to eat as much as I like during my three meals and if there's a weight loss issue to re-asses. So far it's been excellent!

Ah that's brill. Thanks for the advice and well done on the weight loss. I'm going to try increasing my Calorie intake and see what happens. Thanks

Yes have to agree that was my experience also I would have approx 1000 Calories a day sometimes 1800 and I was losing weight during the honeymoon phase which ends around 9 months. I recorded everything I ate in MyFitnessPal - now too lazy.
