Maintenance calories/ounces/x daily/ Food



Recommended Posts

How much food does everyone eat while on maintenance? Ounces/calories and times a day. What did you eat while losing the weight?

I've been wondering the same question. I'm two months out and have no idea how much I SHOULD be eating. I eat 500-600 calories a day, maybe 3-4 oz at a time.

You’re asking about maintenance, right? Confused bc everyone is answering about while they are losing.

I am four and a half years post op. Been at goal since a year out.

I have to eat about 5 smaller meals a day to get all my food in because my capacity is limited. Like a meal might be half a sirloin patty and a cup of salad.

Anyhow I eat anywhere from 1800-2800 calories a day as a 5’6” 140-ish pound woman. I run about 20 miles a week and do 4-5 hours of heavy yoga.

      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?
