How many calories are you supposed to eat 2 months post-op?

I'm worried I'm eating too much. I'm eating around 800-900 calories

  • Following your Doc's plan is more important than counting calories, or carbs, or protein, or whatever. Unless, of course, you're Doc's program involves counting things, then do it with devotion.

  • I ate 600-800 for the first few months, but some programs recommend a little more than that. I'd ask your surgeon or dietitian what they recommend.

i have calculated my requirement and then cut that in half to give me my basic daily need. For me that's about 900 er day.

My dietician told me 1000 ca/day. I told her I was havinging difficulty getting in 600-800 and she told me I should be getting at least 1000 but people normally do not meet that goal until they are about 6mths out.

I was only getting about 400 calls per day for about the first 6 weeks. I track my macros in mfp and just started trying hard to increase the calories with healthy options and it has been working well. I get in about 600-700 calories now and am continuing to lose weight weekly.

I was up to 500 cal/day at 2 months.

I was at 450-500 until month 3 then up to 500-600 until month 6 when I was below goal weight and purposely increased to 1000 to stop the weight loss. The loss slowed a little until I hit 1500-1800 to hit maintenance.

Yeah too much I was still around 500kcal a day.. At 3 months some days i go up to 700kcal

While I'm sure my Doc's program was intended to get us into a particular range on protein, carbs, calories, etc., if I was following the plan I didn't need to count anything but meals.

My Doc's plan was 3 meals of 3oz protein, 1oz veggies. The 3x3oz of protein would get me to 60g protein. The calories and carbs would likewise be within the appropriate range. Thus, I just needed to focus on simple 3oz protein, 1oz veggies each meal. First 6 weeks, same thing but pureed. Early on I had a problem even getting half way through the protein, let alone much else, but this was to be expected. By the end of the first 6 weeks I was getting appropriate quantities.

So, if you're following your Doc's plan you are doing great. Keep up the good work.

Good luck
