nikki c 16 Posted April 1, 2011 I enjoy exercise and am planning on getting the lap band. I am wondering if I'll still be able to find the energy to exercise and do my zumba classes since i'll have a lower calorie intake. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reverie 49 Posted April 1, 2011 It may be harder in the beginning but I did fine at about 800-1000 calories. I did beachbody programs though when I got into more strenuous exercises I upped my calories. I'm eating 1700 nowadays. Having the band doesn't mean you have to be eating a low-calorie diet forever.

B-Man 1 Posted April 1, 2011 It is much more about the type of calories you intake. Stay focused on Proteins and complex carbs, and the energy levels will work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
