Hi, I am just about 5 months post op (November 2nd was my surgery date) and have lost 105 pounds. I feel great and only have about 15 pounds left to lose to reach my goal. I am consuming between 1400 and 1700 calories per day and feel like maybe that is too much. I am very active walking 2-4 miles per day and am still losing about 2 pounds per week. I have never experienced dumping syndrome and am able to eat just about anything. Of course I still stay away from anything too high in sugar and no alcohol. Does the calorie intake seem normal for 5 months post op or is it possible I'm stretching my pouch without knowing it? I try to eat small meals at a setting but find myself hungry sooner between meals than I was a few months ago. Any feedback would be appreciated...

I am one week post surgery and feel very good. I am able to eat a realistic amount of food and have not gotten sick on anything I have tried. I am very happy I made the decision to have the surgery and have lost 28 pounds so far...

I am 3 days post surgery and for the first two days I was only able to take in about 500 calories total. This worries me a bit but honestly I feel pretty good and seem to have a decent amount of energy. I am hoping in the next few days I will be able to increase the calorie consumption and get to about 800 calories per day...
