Calories need input on this please



Recommended Posts

I am 5 1/2 months out and eat between 700-900 calories a day. I work out 4 days a week and I am losing very slowly right now. I am wondering if I am not eating enough maybe? When I work out I burn about 300 calories. Sometimes a little less.

Does anyone know how many calories we should be eating? I get a ton of Protein in daily so I know that isn't the issue.

Please help!!

My nutritionalist just told me today to go to 1200 cal and I am only 4 months post op. I have only lost 57 lbs and because of pain I do not exercise much. I don't think I will go that high yet but this may help you. It is worth a try and you can always go back down if it does not work.

I have to intentionally eat carbs, like 2 sheets of graham crackers with a table spoon of cream cheese for instance and I get right back to losing

      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?
