How many calories do you consume in a day? I get about 1000-1300 is that too much? For the longest time, up until a month or two ago I bearly got in 1000 cal. What's the average?

Hi! We have the same surgeon and I am sure we both Jeannine. I was told from about 6 or 9 months out, (I can't remember which month) to get in about 1000. When I went in for my 9 mth appt, I did ask about the amount to eat, as far as weight. She told me to not focus on weight but portion and to eat about 3/4 to 1 cup at a sitting.

Usually that is a struggle for me and alot of days, if it wasn't for the CIB shakes, I wouldn't get in the calories that they want. But if my memory serves me correctly, 1000 calories would be where Jeannine and Dr B would want you. As always, give them a call.

Hope you are doing well!
