How many calories are you eating after surgery?

I'm 9 months post op...sitting at 197.5 (down from 287.8) and wanting to get to 150. I'm thinking 1500 sounds like a reasonable amount each day (making sure to get the required protein, etc.) I've looked on the Q&A boards and can't find anything talking about how many calories a person "should" eat...I have tried it every other way - and I know I need to track calories...it sux, but there it is. Anything else, and my complusive eating gets out of control and it's curtains. Any thoughts, comments, reflections...all welcome. Thanks. OPEN RNY 7/17/01, -90, 47 to go.
