Calorie Question

I had my RNY on 12.19.06. I have an appointment with a nutritionist, but unfortunately its not for another two weeks. Can anyone tell me about how many calories they are aiming for per day? I understand everyone and every program is different, I would just like an idea. Thanks!

I had my surgery the same day as you. I serioulsy never give calories a thought. I stay below 6 grams of sugar per meal and I always choose protien first and try to get as much as I can in my 2 ounces of food.

My nut. says to aim for 500-600 and every so often I check through my food diary to see how I am doing but certainly don'****ch it every day. I made myself a list of some of my best foods and included calories, protein and carb grams so I can sort of chart it though the day if I get worried about it. So I know that if I want to have some higher calorie selections for some of my intake then I just use some of the lower calorie selections for the rest of the day. Has been working pretty well.
