How many calories am I supposed to be eating each day? I can't get a hold of my NUT and I realized we never went over this. Please help! Thank you.

My plan says to stay between 8-1200 calories past week 4 post-op, but keep trying your NUT.

I average 850 cal/day. I try to hit above 800 because I'm trying to avoid gallstones (~23% are at risk of gallstones after WLS surgery). I hope you can get a hold of your NUT since we all have different programs. One thing that is across the board is our main focus is on Protein & Water intake especially in the earlier weeks.

Im am only 1 week post op and I can only get about 400 calories in me. Im never hungry and after a few nibbles I feel satisfied. I am only eating Proteins blended with stock or low fat chicken gravy.

I'm glad you asked, I was just about to ask myself! 5 months post-op and typically range between 850-950 calories here lately. Wanted to make sure it was normal!

      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?
