I was trending between 600-700 calories a day till 15 days back..now they dont seem to suffice. Need inputs on whats the ideal calorie intake at 10 months out.

In what way is it insufficient? Hunger? Fatigue?

I recommend talking to your surgeon/nut and asking their recommendation.

For one.... it's not a silly question.... this is serious stuff !!!

Get this clear.... I'm not calling you out... or dogging you or being negative in any way...... not the intention at all....

The numbers don't add up or make any sense to me. Not saying that your not correct, It means if these numbers are correct you really need to see your surgeon because you may have other issues.

- Mid age male 5'10'' 400lbs.

- VSG at 600-700 cals a day

- 9.5 months

- Weight loss 100lbs.

Weight loss "typically" for these stats is "commonly" around 150-175lbs.

Again, don't get me wrong.... you lost 100lbs. that is awesome and your already much better off, but according to your ticker you have another 120lbs. to lose.

I would start out by getting an accurate count on your food intake with your RD .... Than see your surgeon and talk it out.

Just don't listen to the people that will tell you to eat more.... that ain't it.

Keep the path and tune it in !!!
