I am averaging about 600 calories a day and I feel it may not be enough calories. What is the average amount of calories should a Gastric Bypass person get in a day?

I am almost up to par with my Protein requirements.

are we talking gastric bypass via protien

or

gastric bypass via KFC, Taco Bell, Little Caesars or McDonalds?

Wow. That's a great answer

My nutritionist basis it on how far post-op you are.....the first month is 600-800 calories then it goes up to 1000 or 1200.....the first couple weeks I was in the 400-500 range pretty regularly.

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 226.6

Via Protein Only...I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op.

At about 2-3 weeks I was around 300-400 calories. At 3 months, I'm 600-700 a day.
