Just wondering how many calories you are consuming post op? I am 7 months post op. I am good at getting my protein in, but concerned about calories for some reason. I'm still losing weight consistantly, just want to make sure I am consuming what I should be.

If you're losing weight consistently, then you're probably consuming what you should be.

I am almost three years out and I eat about 1500 calories a day.

I'm 2 months out and my nutritionist told me ~800 calories. Haven't really started counting though. If I'm losing, I'm happy.

I am 9 months post op and I keep it around 1200 depending on if I worked out or not that day. Once I reach my goal weight I intend on increasing it to about 1500.

I am 10 months post op. I asked my surgeon at my 9 month visit and he told me 1200 is sufficiant. I usually get in less than 1000. I aim for less than that anyway. Usually 800. I try to do on the higher side when I work out.
