Do you need a certain amount of calories you need to be up to, I mean to lose weight? I have been eating a lower amount of calories, although I have been keeping up with my protein.

Depends on where you are at, and what kind of surgery you had, but yes there is a recommended calorie range for men and women...

I had the sleeve in July and I'm up to about 720 or so a day. My doctor wants me up to 1200 by the end of the year...don't know if that will happen....not major he says if it doesn't...just can't fit it all in a day.

Sometimes as well when you have reached a platue you need to eat a few more bites to get your body losing again. You know fool it into thinking you aren't trying to starve it!

Now for calories lets look at it this way. Say a egg is 60 calories and a candy bar is 200. 4 candys will get you to 800 quicker then 14 eggs wont it?

So don't anyone say it can't be done it is a matter of selection and quality of your taste buds

i am just reaching for a treat.. a carmel apple sucker 80 calories and i craved it. Did i do wrong? Nope! i didn't deprive myself and i excerted something else

What we don't tell you is that your body holds in reserve a stash of protien so one day you may meet the quota and the next not. Your body will not take in more then it will need

does the candy give you a tummy ache? I am avoiding sugar.

No candy doesn't give me a tummy ache. I do not eat the suger alcohol producing ones though as in diet. If you want a good bowel movement i hear to eat a diet chocolate.

I don't do proccessed either.
