How many calories should a gastric bypass patient eat?

Maintaining the recommended dietary guidelines is vital to have effective weight loss after bariatric surgery. These dietary guidelines are designed by health care providers and nutritionists to limit the calories you eat while preventing any nutrient deficiencies. Most people will find it overwhelming to cope up with this new food plan at first. But over time, it will become an unconscious part of their daily routine provided they follow the steps religiously.

Immediately after gastric bypass surgery, you would be asked to consume a little less than 1000 calories per day as per our Indian body mass. These calories should comprise of the maximum amount of nutrients to prevent nutrient deficiencies while adjusting to the smaller size of your stomach. After the first months, a small step up in calories can be seen with a daily target of nearer to 1200 calories a day with 60gm of protein approximately. These caloric values are approximate values only. The calorie count and protein requirement may indeed vary from person to person. Your surgeon along with the nutritionist will chart out the correct caloric values designed to suit different people basis their body mass.
