Hello fellow banders! I hope you are all doing well!

I would like to start off by saying that I've lost a total of 103 lbs so far since my banding! Wahoo! My doctor tells me he'd still like for me to lose around 37 more pounds before I maintain my weight but I have a question for you all:

How many calories should I be taking in? I exercise 4-5 times per week and I use the MyFitnessPal app on my phone (and website). I know that our bodies are different than other people now that we've made our life changes but I'm curious as to how many cals I should try to hit. I'm striving to try to get the last bit of this weight off before fall and I just want to make sure I'm eating like I should to stay healthy.

Tips and advice are very much welcome! Thanks for reading!

Stephanie

How many calories are you eating now? Also how how do they break down Protein, fat, carbs. When you exercise how many minutes is it per day?

my surgeon put me on 800 per day - i've stuck to that most days - but really your dr./nutritionist should be setting your calories- according to most on here 800 is on the low side - most seem to do 1000 per day - with 60+ g of Protein.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
