Question:
Average calorie intake at 7 weeks post op?

I would like to know what advice about daily calorie intake people have been given. During my first 3 weeks the nutritionist told em to get between 550 and 700/day.I am 7 weeks post op RNY and seem to be eating between 800 and 1000 calories/day. I asked the nutritionist she said worry about protein not calories. I have already searched the library and would like input on caloric intake between 6 weeks and 6 months post op. Thank you Sue    — Sue T. (posted on September 24, 2001)

I am four weeks post op. I asked my doc he same thing last week. He said that I should not be over 800 calories a day. Some people dont even count calories. I decided that I am and I always keep it around 650 without any problems. So far it has worked for me, 65 pounds in two months! Good luck to you and I hope that helps.

My doctor said 400-600 a day until 6 months. Then up it to 800. I am 8 weeks post-op also and I have stayed between 300-500 the entire duration without any hunger.
