What is everyone calories goal for One year post op?

There is no right answer to your question simply because we (our bodies) are different & have different needs. Age, gender, build, height, activity level, current weight, if you’re still losing, health conditions, etc. are different.

At a year I was eating about 1300 calories when I my weight finally stabilised. (At 6 months when I reached my goal weight I was eating barely 900.) At almost 4 years I eat around 1400/1500 to maintain. But I’m female, almost 58, 5’3” tall, have a finer build & don’t really exercise. My caloric needs are not as high as someone male, &/or younger, &/or taller, &/or with a larger frame, &/or heavier than me, &/or way more active than me would need to maintain.

Best person to answer your question is your dietician.

I'm 8 weeks out and I'm still not focused at all calories. Just Protein and Water. My program said nothing of counting calories

Some people are & some aren’t given calories. I was never told calories either and only randomly checked for my own interest. I still do random checks. But I was comfortable with that. (Too many calorie counting diets over too many years turned me off I think.) Some people prefer & feel more confident about what they’re doing by having more guidelines such as calorie goals.
