How many calories should you be consuming at 1 month post op? I'm about 600 is that to many?

I'm a little over one month post-op and I'm consuming between 200-500 calories, depending on the day. 500 is extremely high for me, but extremely low according to my nutritionist and surgeon. Everyone is is different though.

I just added you to my fitness pal! Lol

Today I was able to eat 'real' food;) so went a little higher just don't want to over do it! I can only eat about 2 tablespoons at a time.

Tuesday I was at 400

I'm between 500-700 most days. Remember, while calories are important, what's more important is the protein/vitamins aspect. Most of us have some significant weight to lose, so even if we were consuming 1000-1500 calories a day, we'd still be losing weight.

I find that I have to eat every few hours at this point to get my Protein in by the end of the day, usually about 100 calories at a time.

At my 1 mo. check-up I was told 90g of carbs and 1000-1200 cals. I struggle to get 600-700 per day! I am really focusing on 70+ grams of protein now that I'm back in the gym

I'm so relieved to hear that someone else is struggling to reach that caloric intake! I mean, I'm sorry you're struggling, but it's nice to know I'm not alone!

I am starting my 7th week. I set MyFitnessPal for 800 calories but it is usually in the low 600's. I shoot for at least 60 grams of protein and set my carbs for 60 but it is usually in those 20's or 30's. I have been at the low 600 number since I started "real food" at 4 weeks.

I'm happy that I'm struggling! That's almost 3k calorie a week deficit which is almost another lb lost!

This makes me feel better! Thanks......I was worried I was eating to much, lol

How can you eat to much when you cant eat more than2-3 tbs;). I guess I'm paranoid!

No, 600 isn't too much....keep up the good work!

Sounds like everyone is doing well. Hard to believe everyone can do so well on so little calories. I guess that's why I'm still chubby, considering surgery. A new normal.
