How many calories were you/are you consuming at 5 weeks post op?
I am 3 weeks out and I am around 600 to 800

Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I averaged around 500 for week 5.

I am not sure if that is low or high I'm pretty new at this...

I get between 600-800 per day, but I am still reliant on shakes for my protein because I cant eat that much.

My program said I should be getting 500-800 calories on phase III which was week 3. That's the only time I have heard or read anything about calorie intake from my program. I just focus on water and protein like they keep stressing and I eat what I can comfortably. There was one day in week 5 where I hit 745 calories but there was also one day I only hit 317 calories. I track my calories but don't worry about them that much.

I'm 600-800.

I average about 500 calories as well but I wanted to see where that was compared to others. I was never given anything about this either from the surgeon

Between 500-600 cals at 5 weeks.

Around 700

I had to look back in my MyPlate app. lol! I was consuming around 600 calories at week 5.

at week 5 I was between 500-700 calories

Thanks everyone!
About 600 cams and we between 600-800 until end of month 5 when I started some serious gym work, and upped to 1200....been there ever since, but follow your own NUT guidelines, as every single surgeon/ clinic has differing recommendations!
I will add, I have never been told to track cals - 3 small meals, protein first until I feel resistance, 2 small protein rich snacks per day if need be. 2 litres + of fluid 60-70!grms protein.
