I am wondering what post op patients - those who are a year out or more form surgery - are eating in a day in terms of calories, carb grams, fat grams, and Protein grams.

I follow a Paleo diet (except I don't eat red meat) and the last time that I tracked my food, this is what I ate, but it is not a typical day. I usually eat less than this.

I'm a year and two days out today, and this morning I officially hit (or "tapped", because I'm sure it'll fluctuate for a little bit) my ultimate goal. I've logged consistently and have been around 700 - 1,000 calories a day, under 50 carbs a day, under 60 grams of fat a day, and 50 - 70 grams of Protein a day. Tomorrow will be the very first day without waking up and hoping the scale has gone lower, so I know I'm not really the type you're looking for responses from..

My clinic's dietitian recommends bumping calories up by 100 for a week or two at a time until we stop losing - then that's our equilibrium point. I have a feeling that will be under 1,700 calories a day for me, because of my PCOS (polycistic ovarian syndrome). I really don't want that switching back to the "on position", as my doc calls it.
