I'm about 10 months out from the lap band. I eat between 1200-1300 calories a day, and make sure to get in at least 60 grams of protein. It seems like a lot of calories compared to most people who have had WLS, but it's not a race and I'm enjoying the journey. With the amount of fill I have right now, I'm hungry if I don't eat at least that amount. In the last 4-5 months, I've been averaging about 5 lbs a month. I guess if my weight loss stalls completely, I could get a small fill, and reduce my calories, but at this time, I don't feel the need to.0

I am noticing the farther out I am from my fill the more calories I can eat. I need to go back to basics again I think. I got a little slacked and it is funny how old habits can creep up. Getting back on track now, no weight gain at least just was getting mote calories in than I am use to. I see the doctor tomorrow and I am going to talk to him about it. Everyone is doing great!!0

I'm pretty much at goal (well, my doc's goal -- my goal is another 5 lbs. down). My doc and NUT want me eating my BMR which is 1400/day. I sometimes hit that, but I shoot for 1300. I figure at very least I'll maintain at this point.0

I tend to average right around 800 calories, even though I am slated at around 1200-1300. I am 18 months post-RNY and I find I just can't eat that much. I am good about getting in about 80 grams of protein a day. I don't have a very rigorous exercise schedule, so I am not burning a ton of calories a day either. I am still losing about 3-5 lbs a week and I am still a ways from my goal, so I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it.0

MFP says I should have at least 1250 cals and I average less than 700. I asked my RD at my last appt and she says MFP doesn't take into account that we had WLS. She said focus on getting the 70 grams of protein and less than 30 grams of carbs a day and not to worry about the calorie count.0

I try to eat 1000-1200 calories a day with 60-80 grams of protein.
Try eating healthy fats- nuts, avocado, etc.0 -
I am 4 week post op on the Lap Band. I've been averaging 600 to 700 calories a day.0

I'm nearly 10 mos post-RNY and about 10 lbs under goal. My NUT set my calorie goal at 1600. I'm 5'9" and moderately active. I do not eat my exercise calories because I worry about stretching my stomach pouch (which might be crazy thinking, but I own it!).0
