Calories per day

How many calories am I supposed to be eating each day? I can't get a hold of my NUT and I realized we never went over this. Please help! Thank you.

My plan says to stay between 8-1200 calories past week 4 post-op, but keep trying your NUT.

I average 850 cal/day. I try to hit above 800 because I'm trying to avoid gallstones (~23% are at risk of gallstones after WLS surgery). I hope you can get a hold of your NUT since we all have different programs. One thing that is across the board is our main focus is on protein & water intake especially in the earlier weeks.

Im am only 1 week post op and I can only get about 400 calories in me. Im never hungry and after a few nibbles I feel satisfied. I am only eating Proteins blended with stock or low fat chicken gravy.

I'm glad you asked, I was just about to ask myself! 5 months post-op and typically range between 850-950 calories here lately. Wanted to make sure it was normal!
