Calories post gastri sleeve



Recommended Posts

At two weeks out I was consuming less than 1000 calories per day. I know that's not precise, but my bariatric aftercare program didn't require me to count calories, fat grams, carbs, or anything other than grams of Protein and ounces of Water.

Here was their theory: as long as you get 80+ grams of protein a day, everything else falls into place.

Protein has a very high thermic effect. In other words, our bodies expend a remarkable number of calories to process and digest the protein we consume. If your protein intake is more than adequate, you'll continue to lose weight. On the other hand, you might stall and plateau long and hard if you don't eat sufficient protein.

Good luck to you. :)

I was mostly drinking whole milk and Protein keifer.. so was getting 700-800 calories, probably. Guess I should have written that stuff down! Oops!

I used that first month for healing.. didn't worry about calories too much.

I will be 8 weeks post op on Monday and after reviewing my log I was at about 400 calories at 2 weeks. I am now getting in 900-950 on most days. I keep my Protein at 60-75g and carbs at 30g or less. I don't worry about fat at all.

I am running 4 days a week now so I need the energy.
