Hi guys, quick question, i have no idea how many cals to eat post surgery?
Im 2 months post op. I was 227 pounds im 204 pounds now.
Im 22 yo
I feel like im not losing weight like i should, i know everybody is different and all. Just help me out. How many calories.
Due to covid 19 i cant see my doctor so he cant really help.

Did you have to see a nutritionist in order to get your surgery? If so, can you call them? I’m only 16 days out so I don’t have those answers, but understand your worry. I know the Veterans will have answers. Every surgeon has different guidelines.

I was told to track the amount I eat (like 1/4-1/2c of food) rather than calories. As long as you're getting your protein and water in, that is what matters.

Everyone loses weight differently- I know it's a bit disheartening for it to be "slow," but that's 23lbs in TWO months!! That's AMAZING! That's almost 4lbs a week. Just keep on trucking along, keep eating how your nutritionist told you, and if you're really concerned, get ahold of your nutritionist or surgery team and talk with them.

But you are doing fantastic. ❤️

Just keep it simple 600-800 a day and move your ass and you will shred pounds!

23 lbs in two months for someone with your starting BMI is excellent!
