1+ Year Post Op

I had a RYN August 11, 2015 and so far I feel like I'm doing okay but I continue to seek the input of others on their meal plans. Daily how many calories are you taking in? How much food in 1 setting? How often are you exercising? I would love to talk to people who are in this stage.

I had my surgery June of 2015 - so I'm in your range. I'm in maintenance and eat 1200-1400 kcal a day.

I malabsorb Protein, so I make a double Protein shake every morning and sip on it all day. So that's like 200-300 calories right there, depending on what I put in it. Then I usually eat around 200 kcal for Breakfast, around 300 or so for lunch and dinner. I often have a snack in the evening, too - like yogurt. If I didn't do the Protein Shake, I'd probably have a couple of low-calorie Snacks during the day, like a hard-boiled egg or one of those Fit & Light Greek yogurts.

I'm not a gym rat, but I try to get to the gym 2-3 times a week (mostly strength-training and/or Water aerobics). I also go to a yoga class 1-2x a week.

Thank for your response. Just wanted to see if Im in the right range for my calorie intake. I take in between 875-1200 a day too. I do go to the gym 4-5xs a week as well. I find even at that low daily range of calories I will gain weight if I dont exercise consistently. Please keep in touch as I am looking for people to bounce ideas off of and I love to hear what works and doesnt work for others.
