Hi everyone!!

    I'm 5 years out of my RNY. I seem to have misplaced all of my paperwork and was wondering, on average, how many calories I should be consuming daily at this stage? I'm thinking I remember the paperwork saying either 1200 & 1500. Are one of those accurate?

I would think that's about right.  I'm 7 years out, and I consume around 1400 calories a day to maintain where I am at.

It's very individual.  If you are at the weight you like then you are getting the right amount of calories.  If you want to lose a bit then you need to drop down the calories.  Are you tracking your food now so you know where you currently are at?

From what people here on OH post, it seems to vary anywhere from 1100-2000+. I can eat 2000 a day to maintain my 138 pounds.

OMG, can you really Laura! I eat between 1200-1300 per day to maintain at 120 pounds. I am pretty sure I would gain (a lot) at 2000. Good for you!

What a gift to be able to eat 2000 a day and maintain at 138lbs!!!  Are you very active?  I certainly can make changes like exercising and weights but I have always remained "big" although there have been lots of periods in my life where I have been incredibly regulary exercising and active.   I hate claiming this, but I am simply a fat girl at 2000 calories.

Before your bypass could you have been 138lbs at 2000 calories?   I am going to track every morsal again to see where I am at.

 

Best,

The best thing is to get a metabolism test. I had one at the YMCA for $125 and it will tell you how many calories to gain weight, lose weight and maintain weight. .
