to all of you successful sleevers how many calories do you generally eat per day? I know we need to get 60-80 grams of protein - but I am hungry!!! Thanks

For the first 9 months, 600-800. For about 6 more months, 1000-1200. Currently, 1400.

Emelar are you still losing or are you on maintenance?. And if you are are still losing is it still consistent on 1400?

Thanks in advance.

I thought I was easing into maintenance at 1400, but I just dropped 5 lbs. So who the heck knows! The rate of loss has slowed way down, but it's still pretty consistent at a quarter to half a pound a week on average.

My Dr's plan

Between 800 and 1000 in the losing phase. Under 40 grms carbs/80 grms plus of protein/64 oz of water minimum.
Excercise up to 300 calories in addition. (I rarely use these and if I do it is only about 100 to 150 calories of it and only if I have enough exercise to have acutally burnt those calories)

Maintenance is supposed to be 1000 to 1200 for me and again the exercise calories.

Well, it obviously all depends on your metabolism still. I am 4 1/2 years out and never lost all of my weight, i didnt expect to, but I did want to lose more than I did..

I can eat 1200 calories a day and will always gain.. Even though i still have so much to lose. It is very frustrating..

I am back to under 800 calories a day, and under 40 carbs, so hopefully i will start losing again. I keep hitting a brick wall..

so everyone is different..
