How many calories at 8 weeks post op?
I'm just curious what other's were/are eating at 8 weeks post op? I feel like I can eat more than other VSG-ers. I consume rougly 700 calories per day on avg. I've logged less plenty of tmies, and I've logged more a few times. For me, watching my weightless is like watching a pot of water waiting for it to boil. i just want to make sure I'm not too far off the beaten path.
Don't dream it. Be it.
I was about there if I recall correctly 600-800 range.

700 is fairly typical. I was more like 1000-1100 but that was appropriate for my guy metabolism and interests in long term weight sustainability rather than maximum loss rate. Few will be doing much lower than you for any length of time.

I've found that my success has been greatest when I was counting carbs and protein. 80 grams protein, and 40 grams carbs. I did count my calories with that same count, and was at 600, but high protein and low carb is the trick I bleieve.
