5 Months Post-Op.. Calorie Question!

[lakinlogan 1]

Hey! So I will be 5 months post-op on January 9th. I started slacking on counting my calories over the holidays, but now I'm back on track! But I feel like my calories might be off. I also workout 2-3x a week... I called the hospital where I had surgery and they said 600-800 calories a day.. Just curious to see what everyone else is doing this far out? Darn holidays messed me up! Thanks in advance!

I stayed at 700 calories on average per day until i hit the 9 month post op mark. I then had a very long stall - 28 days and I was told to increase my calories by adding more veggies, fresh fruit and some Protein.

I was also told to reduce excercising from 1 hour per day to 30 minutes 5 times per week.

I increased to 800 -900 per day until I hit 1 year and then slowly increased to 1100 per day. I was still in weight loss phase until 18 months. Then increased to 1200 to 1300 per day.

I did and my stall broke. I continued to lose weight for the next 9 months until i reached my ultimate goal.
