Calories in

How many calories are gastric bypass patients supposed to consume and how much protein I am 13 yrs out and I cannot remember. I've let my self really slip

Calories are going to vary a lot from person to person.  Some people on here can maintain at 2000, others can only eat 1200.  I know that's not very helpful, but...  You may just have to experiment with different levels.

generally they say to get a minimum of 60 grams of protein a day, but I personally need 100 grams or my prealbumin levels tank..

Just multiply your goal weight by 11.  If you want to maintain 200 pounds, eat 2200 calories.  I maintain 136 pounds on 1400-1500 calories a day.  If you want to lose, then subtract 500 calories a day to drop a pound a week.

You will find out what works for you.

I don't know that that works for everyone? If I doubled my calories which is what multiplying my goal weight would do (146 - my current weight is my goal weight x 11 = 1606) That is twice what I'm eating now. I would think I would almost certainly gain wouldn't I? I'm maintaining right now which is perfect, I was just curious about this math.

During the loss phase, most people seem to average 800 - 1000 calories per day, 60 - 80g protein, under 40g carbs.

I'd suggest getting some lab work done if you haven't had it recently and asking for a referral to a dietitian to get a plan in place for you based on your lifestyle... there are some general calorie guidelines that other posters have given you above but you really want to get a plan that takes into consideration your lifestyle... that will determine carbs, fats, protein, calories, in more specifics... plus it's probably time to see what's what with your labs.

You might want to also ask for a referral to a therapist if the reason for you veering off course a bit is something they can help you with... stress management, stuff from the past, relationships, etc. 

Best to you! Obesity is a chronic disease that requires chronic treatment so life happens and we adjust the sails ;) 

P.S. Keep posting... it's staying involved and keeping my head in the game that I think has helped me all these years.

As others have said, there is no one size fits all answer.  I am still trying to figure it out after all these years.

The best advice I can give you is to record your weight and your food daily.  That is the guide to how you are doing.  If you are eating 1000 calories a day and stop losing weight than you can drop it down until you are back losing.

When you reach your goal you can learn what works to stay there.  It is all about learning what your body needs and that is the best way to find out.

I'm going to ditto what everyone else seems to say about no one size fits all answer.

Most people seem to eat 800-1200 calories in the loss phase. 13 years out though I would have no idea what an average bypass person would eat.
