What Is The Calorie Range You Aim For?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 months out and currently getting anywhere from 600-800 calories per day. I haven't yet gotten to 1000 calories. What target calorie range do you try to stay in?

That's great! At 5 months I TRY to stay at 800-900, but it's really easy for me to hit 1200 now. Unfortunately, I don't lose at 1200. Never have.

I'm at 3 months, too. I get anywhere from 750-900-ish. Depends on my food choices and my workouts.

Pre-approval phase 6 months I tried to stay at 800-900. I'm still on the liquid phase 3 weeks out and I'm hitting 300-350 just on liquids and luckily my one Pure Protein with skim milk consists of most of it in the am.

I will try to stay at 800-850 until I reach goal, going up only when I stall I will most likely up my carbs a bit, or when I'm doing heavy exercises, I will up my calories a tad, for energy.

i think everyone is so different i have been having major stalls and was told by the doc friday to up my calories to 1200 at least. that will be tuff considering i was averaging about 800 a day now i need a minimum of 400 more. i will try it for a week and see how it goes ??

I'm a little over three months out and get about 1,000 calories per day. I'm losing well. Looks like from your ticker you are too!

      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?
