V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.

Oh cool, I'll have to check this out.
You know Marcia I often wonder if these things really apply to us being that we are altered with having WLS and all. The reason I say this is because the dam WLS dietician is always saying I should be eating 1,200 no matter how much I workout but do you know how sluggish I would be on that few calories.
I use it as a guide. Most calculators are too high for me. I like this one because I can chose the calc method and take the lower figures. My surgeon wanted me on 1100 calories at five weeks out. Less than that further slows metabolism for some of us.
Metabolism measurement should be part of the wls package. Some of us have slower metabolisms and have to eat less naturally. Others slow down our metabolism by eatig so few calories for so long. Without having it measured, how do we kow where we fall? That extra cost would pay for itself in avoided re gain.
Its got links to several other calculators as well. I posted this to the rny board and got a complaint that the ideal weight calculator was too low
. Not perfect, but I think that combined with your surgical practice's advice and a little common sense they provide good guidelines.
