How Many Calories at One Month Post-op?

I was just wondering how many calories that I should be eating at one month post-op. I never feel hungry and I getting less than 500 calories a day. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -30lbs.

I have no idea at my calorie intake...most days i am sure it is well under 300....I was never told anything thing about the actual calorie intake...I am still on my protein...and 3 oz...i have another 5-6 weeks on 3 oz...and short of sweets i sure would not get in much in the way of calorie intake...and i may have a popcicle or sugar free jello...Maybe i am getting more than i thought...i will check it out

Hello i'm new to this board and i just short of 300 a day it is so hard to eat anything. I'm up to 20 ozs of water also i'm down -45lbs since surgery.

Good Grief!!! I would starve to death if I were taking in 300 cal or 3 oz of food!! YIKES!! I do not know how you all are doing it!! I am 8 weeks out, and generally run 600-800cal a day, and 55-65g protein. AND I find it hard to only eat this much!! Now, I can only do about 4-6oz at a time, but every couple of hours I feel really, really hungry, even when I have a high protein meal. The drinking is harder for me, but I start the day with 16oz of protein smoothie, so that is a help....and I probabl get about 50oz water/liquid a day. On the days that my liquids are not adequate, I find that my weight loss starts stalling out.........so I am focusing there right now. I have lost 38lbs, from a start of 256.......came off pretty fast at first, and then I have been in a big stall, but am now losing again. I had hoped to do better, but as long as it is headed in the right direction, I will be satisfied!! ................well, and as long as I am under 200 by Christmas, lol!! Don't y'all feel weak and woozy on so little calories? I sure did. Now that I am up above 600, life is infinitely more enjoyable.

wow seems sucha small amount mine is usually 700 a day!!!
