Anyone have a chart or rough idea how many calories one should be ingesting post op? I am 7.5 months post op sleeve gastrectomy.. I am waiting an email back from my dietician.. but was just curious. I know it goes by 'weight' but even a rough estimate would be great.

Thanks

I'm about 2 months out and i've heard a lot of people say they were told to have around 1000-1300 calories a day. I currently have 600-800 calories but i'm trying to get to at least 1000.

WOW, trying to get 1000 calories at only 2 months. Seems like a lot to me!! I think you're doing great with the 6-800 calorie range - as long as its lots of dense protein!

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

Hi there... I try and stay under 600 per day.. sometimes i go a little over but most days I'm around 450 - 600 with a min of around 80 G of protein.

Good luck ...

Hi, I'm 3 months out and i eat 450-550 per day, 60-70g protein. I am short 5'2" and 49 years old. I've only had 1 stall and I am not hungry. I know they want you to eat more but you have to listen to your body. I keep my carbs under 20 most days. If I am going over it is due to fruit or veggies on a hot day sometimes I just need watermelon. You have to find what works for you. Some people at my time are at 1000 calories, others 600-800. I am slowly increasing and will get there when my body is ready. :)
