Like Duh!

During our move I have misplaced my information packet that lists the different phases during weight loss. I'm 10 months out, and I believe I'm supposed to be around 800- 900 calories. Does that sound correct to anyone else around this level? I called my surgeons office and they have not responded as of yet, but just want to make sure I'm pretty close to where I need to be.

Thanks ahead of time everyone

Each surgeon's protocol for post op eating will vary. Write an email to your surgeon, and keep calling. i never got any "Phase sheet" to follow--just a list of nono foods, and verbal recommendations on follow up visits when to progress to different foods. If you're within driving distance, I'd drive to the office and ask for a copy. Dave

*No more than 15 grams of Sugar per meal (more grams if able to tolerate-I allow myself up to 30 grams Sugar per meal from Simple and Complex Carbohydrate sources and also from Dairy products that are no fat/low fat because I do not seem to dump on Sugar)

*Eat 3 main meals (B, L, D) no further than 5-6 hours apart

*Eat 1 protein snack at 1200 calories a day at least 2-3 hours from breakfast

*Eat 2-3 protein snacks at Maintenance calories a day at least 2-3 hours from B, L, D

*24 Months after surgery (or when goal weight is reached before 24 months): Maintenance calories (BMR/RMR & Activity Level) (Malabsorption of calories lasts approximately 18-24 months) (I eat 1700-1800 calories a day to maintain my weight loss of 200 pounds at a weight of 131 pounds. My height is 5'4")

* I do not participate in a formal exercise program due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. I do move around a lot more and do a lot more walking.
