I'm a month post op and I'm just wondering, how many calories should I be consuming in a day?

Follow whatever your surgeon recommends. For most people that number is probably around 800. I've seen some people be recommend for 600 - 800 calories per day, and some people recommended for 800 -1000 calories per day.

I'm getting around 600-650 now. Nobody really said anything about calories. They just insisted on getting 60 g of Protein a day which I am doing.

This early on you won't be able to get in many calories. You'll eventually be able to eat more. I personally stay under 800 but many go between 800 and 1000, especially if you add in exercise.

So do you think what I'm getting now is fine?

We don't count calories.... I count protein... 60 grams and carbs less than 80 grams. I'm averaging 500-700 calories per day.

Yes. Each week you'll be able to get n a little more. Just focus on Protein and Water.

This is a great way to do it. My goal is 80 g protein, less than 60 carbs, less than 30 fat, and 10 g Fiber. This is from my nut. It works out to roughly 800 calories.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!
