5 months or more out, how many calories per day?



Recommended Posts

For those of you at least 5 months out, what is your calorie intake daily? I have still been taking in between 700 and 900 per day and carbs below 50 a day. My exercise has increased to 5 times a week. I try to get more calories in on the days I exercise but never over 900. I would like to hear where everyone is at on their daily intake when you are at least 5 months out so I can measure where I am at. Please also list your exercise time you are doing.

Thank you.

Thats about where I was at 5 months. My Nut recommended 800-900 through the middle phase of losing. I am at 9 months now and eat around 1100-1400 a day. exercise 4 days a week. Eating a little more helped me come out of a 6-7 week stall not long ago.

I'm 5 1/2 months out. I get at least 60 grams of Protein, 64 oz. of Fluid per day and average between 700 and 900 calories per day. I also take all supplements recommended for my plan. I take my Calcium in tow doses in instead of three; my nut said that was OK because I kept forgetting to take it at lunchtime.

I exercise 5-6 days per week. Two 45 minute walks at a fast pace, two 1-hour group workout classes, one 30 minute session with my trainer, and one other activity, such as a bike ride, walk, or yoga class.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
