How many calories, post RNY

This is what I ate/now eat:

• 1-2 Months After Surgery: I ate 500 calories a day
• 3-6 Months After Surgery: I ate 600-700 calories a day
• 7-9 Months After Surgery: I ate 800-900 calories a day
• 10-12 Months After Surgery: I ate 1000 calories a day
• 13-15 Months After Surgery: I ate 1200 calories a day to goal weight (I reached my goal weight at 15 months out)
• Maintenance 16-30 Months After Surgery: I ate 2000-2500 calories a day
• Maintenance: 31 Months After Surgery to Today: 1800 calories a day
• I did not participate in a formal exercise program due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis until 2015 after 2 knee replacement surgeries. I am in constant motion and have boundless energy especially after the 2 knee replacement surgeries.

That is great, thank you so much and way to go on your success and renewed mobility!!

At two months I was doing about 500-600. Now I'm in month seven and do between 700-900/day. Some days are lower, since I'm still sometimes not hungry.

However, I think height and weight have to do also with how much you should be eating, and that's why it's all so individualized. For example, I'm only 3" taller than you but if I'm reading your stats correctly you're in the 290s now, right? So you may need more or less depending on your NUT...I'm in the 170s so a bit lighter with less calorie needs and loss has slowed down a lot but still heading down.

So I guess what I'm saying is don't overeat, eat bc you're bored, eat "naughty" stuff, etc. :) but make sure you're following your medical team's guidance. Also I lost so much hair between months 3-4.5 or so that I got it cut short, but the loss has definitely stopped over the past four to six weeks. So yes, it stops!

And if you don't feel well, get on the phone with your dr. I had pretty severe fatigue until a few weeks ago and was blaming it on surgery--I'd never had any before in my life and thought I wa**** hard from the anesthesia, infection, etc. But it turns out my PCP found I need thyroid meds. I started a low dose three weeks ago and feel much better!

Thank you so much for your repy! Will do and continued success to you!
