How many calories?

[yami17leth 62]

Almost 7 weeks post up how many calories should I be having at this point?

I know 60-80g Protein and 64 oz fluids, but besides that how many calories should I be having. I don't want to stretch my pouch.

After RNY surgery, weight loss is achieved by volume control. Your diet is restricted to certain types of foods and your volume of food per meal is miniscule.

The three most important elements after surgery is to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

So generally we do not track calories. Following the program guidelines is important if you want to achieve the weight loss.

My program never gave an amount, so I researched different programs online and then on here.

I was told to not count calories, just count grams of Protein, carbs, and fat and you should be all set. And it is so much easier than counting calories.
