I am not there yet only 11 days post op. I was told at 7 months out I will be somewhere between 700-800 calories I dont think I go to 1000 calories until near goal. Around 90 grams of Protein and less then 40 grams of carbs. Each doctor is diffrent though. Good luck

1000-1200 is a healthy goal.

This is something that you will probably have to figure out on your own. Everyones needs are different. Dependng on your height and physical activity your calorie demands can be way different that someone who is more or less active. There are a lot of factors involved in what your body needs to either continue losing weight or maintain. Good Luck

Yes,everyone is different this far out and it depends on how much you still have to lose.

Mine is all over the show.From 600 some days to 1300 other days.However,it seems to balance out nicely as I still drop my 7-10 pounds once a month. (Ok,I figured why startve myself if this is the way it will be anyway so when I have hungry days I do eat a little more calories.After a few fo these my appetite disappears and I drop down very low,just to make Protein every day)

Average though is 850 per day.Carbs under 50 (mostly under 40) and Protein anything from 60 to 90g.

Ok,Im not helping am I?lol.Sorry..!

I'm right at 7 months out. I saw my NUT last week and we looked at my food diary. I'm getting between 800 and 900 calories a day and she thought it was perfect. She did say as time went on, I'd be able to consume more calories, and that as long as they are good calories (not sugar, etc) I should be fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
