Almost 2 years out and wondering ....



Recommended Posts

it's hard to say because it depends on so many factors. How many are you averaging now? If you're not sure, track all your food for a week or two and figure out what your average intake is. Then try cutting it back by 100 calories a day, give it a week or two, and see if you weight starts to drop. If it doesn't, cut back by 100 more. Rinse and repeat until your weight starts dropping again.

What is your activity level? How much weight were you needing to lose initially?

Hi All,

Just wondering how many calories should I be consuming after 2 years post surgery I still have about 70 lbs to lose?

Sent from my Acer Chromebook R11 (CB5-132T / C738T / CB3-132) using BariatricPal mobile app

With 70 more to go I would think 1000-1200 range. Good luck

I am one year post op. My doctor says to eat 1200 calories a day 💁🏻 That’s a lot of food when it’s high protein! It used to be such few calories when I was fat before surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The PA at the practice told me recently that I need to eat more calories. I was eating about 1200, and she wants me to move up to 1500 and perhaps 1700 on days that I exercise particularly hard. The biggest thing for me is to track everything that I eat and adjust appropriately. I have a huge fear of regaining weight, so I will back off on calories if I feel I am at risk and see how it goes. I think we all constantly adjust to keep on track.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
