[happy days]

Iam 15 months post bypass and still need to lose 17lbs. Does anyone know how many cals a day I should have.

I am coming up for a year and have been told to aim for 1000 to 1200 calories per day.

Thanks Jane, is that to still keep losing or to maintain.

I still have around a stone to lose so I guess it's still to lose. However she did give the impression it would be this level permanently. I don't really count calories too much now to be honest but on the odd day that I do I am around the 1000 ish.

#Ive been told the same as I'm researching for my 12 months out (currently 9months)

I think we up to 1500-2000 when we want to maintain.

I do hope so !

2000! I don't think I could ever fit that amount in, you will be surprised how little you can eat to maintain your normal weight, I have read that a healthy adult can live on as little as 800 calories a day, although your activity level dictates the true amount.

I average 850 HD but have not lost any weight for over three weeks now so think I need to cut back a bit.

You may need to up a bit instead of cutting back. I found once I cut bread and crackers out I started to move again.
