My NUT told me Tuesday she would want me to be at 1200-1400 but I'm actually between 1000-1200 on average. More times I'm sitting around 900-1000 1200 when I"m eating like I really should and 1400 when I'm acting a fool!

My doc said that same thing. I keep myself between 600-1200,but on bad days 1500.

Hope this helps

I think that's about right..  I don't think I get in over 800( and thats on one of my I'm so hungry, can't stop eating days)
260 of those calories come from my protein shake though and that's over half of my protein intake for the day too.

I received the following information from my Surgeon's office when I was newly PostOp when I asked the question:

For calories I figure the first month around 500 calories +/- from the second or third month after surgery around 800  calories +/- 200 calories.  I think your calorie intake overall is fine if you are still losing. Prior to 2 months after surgery, try to keep around 600 calories. I try to focus on protein intake as most important.  If you take in 70 grams of protein that gives you about 280 calories just from the protein.  Re carbohydrate, focus on eating protein first than if you have room, have carb. from fruits or veggies first.  I figure around 40% of calories from carb. as a general rule.

Hope that is what you were looking for.
