A member asked:
I had gastric bypass 3 years ago, but am still trying to get the last 20 pounds off, how many calories a day should i consume to lose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More out than in..: Weight loss is a matter of burning more than you take in. A good place to start is around 1000 calories a day, make sure you keep up with your protein intake and your post bypass vitamins. Then you need to exercise to burn more than you take in..
