This calculator helps you estimate the amount of weight you may lose after a gastric sleeve surgery based on your personal details.
How to Use the Calculator:
1. Enter your initial weight before the surgery in pounds.
2. Input your height in inches.
3. Provide your age in years.
4. Select your gender.
5. Choose your current activity level.
6. Enter the number of months since your surgery.
7. Click on the “Calculate” button to get your estimated weight loss.
How it Calculates the Results:
The calculator estimates the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on your gender, age, initial weight, and height using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation.
It multiplies the BMR by an activity level factor to determine the Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
It then subtracts a calorie deficit estimate from TDEE and calculates the weight loss over the given period since the surgery.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate only and should not be considered medical advice. Individual results can vary based on numerous factors such as adherence to dietary recommendations, individual metabolism, and other health conditions. Please consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
