A Couple Of Questions....

I think there is a HUGE difference in your intake at 1 month post-op versus your intake at 1-year post-op so that's kind of a wide range. I'm 5 weeks post-op and I take in between 350 and 400 calories per day. Examples of what my stomach is good with for a meal: 1 egg OR 5 medium-sized shrimp OR 2 TBSP's Peanut Butter. I'm not always 'bursting' but my surgeon told me to simply eat until you are satisfied, not until you are full (or your stomach will stretch).

In the first week after surgery, 2 ounces of liquid made me BURSTING-full.

You'll definitely see your intake increase the further you get along post surgery. I'll be 10 months since my sleeve next week, and I can definitely eat more than I could in the beginning. I'm not sure on exact numbers or ounces, but I can just tell my body can handle more (still nothing compared to pre-sleeve or a non-sleeved person, but more.) I, in some ways, welcome the ability to eat a little more because I feel like I'm able to get more Vitamins, minerals, and all around nutrition from food and that just makes me feel a little more secure. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Either way. Good luck!

I am 2 months out and am between 800-900 calories daily. Have DR and NUT appointment next week and hope to increase to 1000 since I am weight lifting 4 days per week.
