calorie question
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.
