How many calories to lose faster?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I just reached my two month mark on Tuesday, and so far I'm down 40 lbs, which is great, but I was wondering how many calories everyone was getting after 2 months. I know my dietician said I can't work out too much because I don't have enough calories going in now. I'm getting around 870 calories a day, and I know I will eventually be between 900-1100. How many is everyone else getting? What is the intensity of your workouts?

I workout about 5-6 days a week and usually get in around 900-1000 calories a day. After the workout the net calories are usually around 400-500. It's hard for me get in anymore. I've tried to eat a few higher calorie foods too. My weight loss and been pretty consistent up to this point. One thing I do for sure is get my Protein in daily. I usually average no less than 110 grams of Protein a day.

What's the rush? You didn't gain overnight.

I work out 5 - 6 days a week. I eat between 700 - 900 calories a day and 80 - 100 gms of Protein. Every program is different. Follow your dietitian's instructions.

      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?
