- This is the calorie amounts I have eaten during my weight loss then maintenance for RNY:
- *3-6 Months After Surgery: I ate 600-700 calories a day

- *9-12 Months After Surgery: I ate 1000 calories a day
- *12-18 Months After Surgery: eat 1200 calories a day (I ate 1200 calories a day until 15 months when I reached my goal weight)
- *18 Months after surgery (or when goal weight is reached before 18 months): Maintenance calories (BMR & Activity Level) (Malabsorption of calories lasts approximately 18 months)
