Question on post-op diet
Hi,
At my last weight loss meeting, the nutritionist said that for about the first year we will eat 500 calories. That seems like such a small amount for such a long time. She also said maximum calories we will ever have is prob 1000-1200.
Does that sound right? Does the 500 slow down the metabolism at some point. Does the surgery help with all this?
Thanks!

What surgery are you having?
I think the norm, when you get to regular foods, is about 700-800 calories a day for close to the first year. Initially you'll be taking in less than that. After that you will be able to eat normally (I can anyway) and I can consume a LOT of calories if I don't be careful.

Check out Miles and menus. I think most folks by the time they are a couple of months out are 700 or so, 1000 after around a year. The protein and exercise help the metabolism up. You would have a hard time just getting your protein in at 500 a day.
