I'm a post gastric bypass surgery patient under the care of my doctor and trying to lose 25 pounds over the next 4-6 months. He wants me on 1,000 to 1,100 calories a day. Is there anyone else out there that is on this strict of a diet and if so will you friend me please!? I'm new to this site and need some guidance and lots of support. :-)

    I know I'm not exactly what you're looking for but I eat about 1200 calories per day.
    I suppose you could just cut out a few things or reduce portion sizes to get you to 1000 - 1100.
    For instance, I count the 5% cream in my tea and that alone is 80 calories.
    My diary is open so you can take a peek if you like.

    Oh jeez, I do 1200 a day. If it were me, I would do the 1100 a day vs the 1000 a day...you need the energy and you don't want to put your body into starvation mode because you will slow down your weight loss. You can eat some very nutritious foods for the 1100 calories. I stay away from processed food as much as I can. I eat fresh veggies and I make a protein shake everyday with some fruit. I am careful of how much fruit I eat because it has a lot of natural sugar...I stay AWAY from processed sugar altogether and I do not eat those fake sugars which again is processed junk with chemicals. I drink my water with a half wedge of lemon. I hope this helps you and I will unlock my diary so you can take a look at the types of foods that I eat. Let me know and I will unlock it for you. I'm sure you'll do just fine!!
