Sunnyway 345 Posted July 6, 2021 I'm pre-op (for revision). I'd probably gain weight at 1500 calories. Over the past three months, my calorie count has dropped from 1200 to even under 1000 per day. I'm OK with it. I swore off sugar and flour 3 when I started the pre-op dieting. I don't get the cravings I once had although the first month was a b***h. Protein Shakes are a game-changer. They weren't around when I had my gastric bypass 30 years ago. I usually substitute 1 meal per day with a Protein Shake. I've discovered that there are vast differences among the brands. I prefer the taste of the plant-based Protein to the whey-based. 1 MandM1188 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
