calorie intake after rny

I came across this information while surfing the internet and I was kind of surprised.  The calorie intakes seem kinda low up to the first 6 months.  What do you think? How many calories were you eating during the first year?

Studies have shown that weight loss after gastric bypass is a result of lower caloric intake. The pattern of intake and weight loss is also known.
 

At 2 weeks: 200 Calories/day At 3 weeks: 300 Calories/day At 4 weeks: 350 Calories/day At 10 weeks: 400 Calories/day At 12 weeks: 500 Calories/day At 6 months: 900 Calories/day At 8 months: 1000 Calories/day At 12 months: 1100 Calories/day

Hmm.... yes, it does seem rather low, you're right.  I never counted calories, but considering I was taking high protein shakes, etc etc, at 2 weeks I would think that my calories were likely double what they've listed.  Interesting.

Seems low to me too.  Since about 8 months out, I've been having 1000-1200 calories per day. Reached goal recently and am maintaining so far.

Those calories seem low to me as well.  I don't remember tracking calories until I was about 2 months out and then I think I was eating approx 900 calories a day for the whole time I was losing.  I've been trying to maintain for a few months now and I'm currently eating around 1200+ calories a day.

Well, speaking as a St. Joe's Hamilton patient, the protein drinks alone that we must take for the first 4 weeks are more than that.  I've been taking 3 boost diabetic a day (each one is 190 cal) for a total of 570 calories.  Add on to that broth, and sugar free popsicles in the first to weeks, and oatmeal and cream soups the next two weeks.  So, this list is totally wrong for what we are told to eat.

seems low to me as well, i average 11 - 1200 cal a day.

I'm getting in about 700-800 a day. This seems super low to be honest.

It seems really low to me as well.  At less than 600 calories a day I do not think you would heal post op.  We also have a malabsorption component to the RNY so if you only took these calories in you would not be absorbing enough to maintain health - never mind heal from major surgery.

As always go with what your individual center tells you, cause the thing is we are all different in our needs as well.

I average between 900-1200 per day. Most days its about 1000 calories.
