    Default 10 months out and wondering what the average is for calories per day?

    I was sleeved in May and have been doing well. However I struggled with my weight for so long and still have 70 pounds to lose so I worry a lot about stretching out my sleeve. Are there any guidelines for how many calories you should eat per day? Right now I average 1300. Sometimes 1000ish and very rarely 1500ish. Is that a normal amount? More? Less?

    And thank you to everyone who responded to my last post! I’m new here and it was heartening to read your advice.

    Hi grumpy! I was sleeved the day before you!!!! I am entering maintenance phase. I'm eating up to 1500 cals a day. To be fair half of my cals I drink with my chai tea and soy milk. It is homemade w/o sugar. The only sugar is in the soy milk. I also drink crystal lite like crazy and that is about 130 there too. That being said the rest of the cals comes from my protien. I very rarely have other carbs. I get 120 to 140 grams of protien in a day. I can eat 5 oz chicken breast. I literally live on chucken and tuna.

    You would have to overeat repeatedly to stretch your sleeve. You do need to up your calories as you progress. I know whenever I stalled I had to up my calories. And honestly, there is no set number. It is all based on your body. Your height/weight, your activity level, and the way your body processes food. I would say as you are losing the most important thing is getting enough fluids and protein. Then veggies. Your vitamins. And then lastly carbs.
