I am 6 weeks post-op and was wondering if i am doing well with my caloric intake. I usually eat about 900-1000 calories a day for the past two weeks. Should I reduce my caloric intake ? I have not lost weight in two weeks and I am thinking this might be the reason. During stage 1 I was eating 500-600 calories a day.

Only your NUT can give you the answer for your program. For me I am at six months out and just checked up with my NUT and she said I am right on target eating between 700&900 calories at this point and that I should stay in this range till I'm closer to a year out.

Everyone's stages are different so I am not sure what you mean by stage 2. I am about 3 weeks out and still on soft foods and I am at about 500 calories. Most of my calories are from Protein shakes right now.

While 1000 might seems high I do have to say if you were not sleeved 1000 would seem very low for your weight and you would be dropping weight. I would definitely ask your Doctor about what your calorie intake should be at 6 weeks.

For me it would be impossible to take in 1000 calories because my food plan is B,L,D 1/4 cup of soft food off of a list of pretty low calorie foods. Typically my food is about 200 calories and then my Protein Shakes make up about 300. I am not allowed to snack or drink anything with calories (other than 4 oz of juice a day). So for me it would be impossible to go over 600 calories on my stage 2. But... everyone is different.

What is stage 2 for you? Mine was full liquids.

Calories are relative and secondary to Protein. What is your protein target? Are you reaching it every day?

I am also 6-7 weeks out and eating 600-800 calories per day. I still supplement my protein with 1 shake per day to hit my 60-80gm protein goal. Most days I don't hit 800 calories but I find that I need at least 600-800 calories to be able to keep up with my busy lifestyle (mom of 3 boys). Although I have been told to keep carbs limited, I sometimes find that I loose quicker with a few added carbs. Good carbs. Not sure why but I'm still trying to figure things out. Good luck on your journey.

Stage 2 for me is semi soft foods. I spoke with my nutritionist and she said to stay within 800-1000 calorie range. 80 grams of Protein per day.
