How much food/calroies am I suppose to take at almost 7 months out?
I think you are miscalculating.
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Definitely doesn't sound like enough to me-meow are you surviving??!!
I do about 900 cals on non-exercise days & up to 1200 on exercise days. This consists of at least 90g carbs, 70-90g protein & about 20 g fibre, all approximate, can all be a bit higher.
In my opinion, you need more.

Wow. At seven months out, I was eating 3/4 to one cup of food four or five times a day, about 1000 calories total.
Why are you getting so few calories? Are you getting enough protein?
What does your doctor's plan say?

I was still only getting 700- 900 at that point and was told to be at 1000 but I just didn't have room to get there. How is your weight loss going at that few of calories? I found I'd start to slow way down or stall for a few days and upping my calories got me to drop so I kept trying to up them to where I was suppose to be to keep out of starvation mode. Are you getting in your 60 g of protein? and how on so few calories. You don't want to become malnourished so you need to get them up there. Add a protein shake or two they are typically 150 calories or more.

Any chance these numbers are not including protein shakes? I can't imagine how you are getting so few. I'm not quite 3 months out and I was told 700 calories. Most days, I'm pretty darn close if I get all my protein in. A shake alone would put me awfully near your 300 calories!
