Not a fair question. We all do differently, depending on our state of health, how much we weigh to begin with, what we eat or don't eat. Your profile says you had a RNY. I did, too and have lost 47 lbs in 9 weeks. I am not perfect, eat too much at a time, but really watch what I eat. I use lactose free fat free milk and mix BioChem protein drinks; use carb control low fat yogurt, and eat chicken, or fish baked. I was never told how many calories to have, but run 800-1000 calories a day. I drink lots of water, take vitamins, calcium, and am moving around a lot more doing whatever.
