Has anyone used Dr, David N dryer located in and affiliated with Centennial Medical Center. TN

Looking to get printed instructions from this surgeon/dieticians office. Do they say 500-700 until you get to maintenance? Maintaining calories 1000 life long? I've spoken with two patients. These are their instructions after sleeve surgery.

Yes... that is the amount. 500 cal till you hit goal...I wasnt given a range. Just 500.

This is from the VSG manual; it isn't just Dr. Dyer, fyi. There are three surgeons in this practice, and they go by the same manual.

So you are limited to less than 500 calories per day until you hit goal? I may have read that incorrectly,

How did you do on 500? Was it realistic and sustainable ?

You have Dr, David N Dyer and other surgeons at Centennial Medical Center. TN advertised on your site.

Have you ever seen instructions of 500 calories until you lost 75% of your weight??? I thought this was a mistake. But here is the surgeons instructions that patients are following.

This seems incredibly low. I'm not a medic, but I'm aware of calorie intake recommended for patients on complete bed rest. It's much higher than even the 800kcal pre-op diet too. Also thinking of the range of physiologies this covers if it's standard. Fascinated to see other opinions.

To his patients.

I'm not intending on making you feel negative about your surgeon's instructions. I apologise if this thread offends anyone. I'm just concerned.
