How many calories are you eating several weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I’m 7 weeks posts and still get 550-600/day. I’m wondering if that’s too little.

I would say that sounds about right to me.

Are you losing? That’s what I would be concerned with. 500 calories was too low for me but I’m 5’ 10”. My nut bumped me up a few hundred and I found my sweet spot.

I've been staying around 800, but I'm not losing/stalling, so I think I'm going to go back to 600

I am 8 weeks out.

I eat anywhere from 550-800 calories a day. I've noticed on days I do a harder workout, I do eat to the higher end.

I workout 5 days a week.

I am 6 months and just now managing to get 700ish. I was doing 300-400 up until 2 months ago.

I am 15 or so weeks out and I get about 800 to 100 a day. I usually average around 8 or 900. I have lost 65 pounds with 25 more to go, so I must have found the right level!

      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?
