For me it was something like 1200-1800 My goal was to eat about 300 calories about six times a day, but usually wound up eating more like four times, sometimes five, but almost never six.

It is going to be different depending what your personal needs are....for me at 4-6 months I was supposed to be getting 600-900 calories.  It probably would be best to ask your doc. If you feel like you're eating too much, just write down what you eat, so you'll know for sure.   Hope this helps!

Only your surgeon/NUT can give you the correct answer... the post-op diet varies by surgeon as well as varies by how much you had bypassed - typically those with less bypassed have lower caloric needs than those with more bypassed. Personally at 4 months out I was to be eating approx 600-800 calories.

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)
