This Program and Gastric Bypass

Hello, and welcome. I had gastric bypass in July 2012. So far I have lost 71 lbs and I have another 60 to go. It has not been easy. I have been a slow loser. I work out alot and watch my calories. I changed my settings to 800 - 1000/ day based on my nutritionists recomendations at this point in my post op journey. What does yours tell you as far as calories at 3 yrs post op? I think you can change and tweak your settings until you find what works for you. There are lots of post ops on here that have been wildly successful using diet and exercise. It is on going. Good luck to you. Add me if you like. We can do it together.

I spoke with my nutritionist today and she said that we can follow the caloric guidelines that MFP sets to help us maintain and lose/gain weight but that we need to adjust the protein/carb/fat %'s accordingly. This obviously wouldn't be the case for someone who is being asked to follow their surgeons guidelines for the first 12 months(or whatever that timeframe is)..but since you are several years post op I would imagine this would be appropriate for you.
