I was banded 3/20, I track all my food on myfitnesspal.com, and get between 750 and 900 cal a day. That is because I am working so hard to get my Protein.< /p>

I am down about 35 since my preop but 45 since the first of the year. I weigh on Tuesdays (why Tuesdays? I have NO idea!) I have alot ot lose so, it goes pretty quick. I have noticed it slowed alot since I started mushies amd soft food. Before that my average calories were about 650 - 750 a day.

I am only asking because I am staying the same since my week 2. I weighed 211 and this morning I weighed 208.8.. I exercise every day and give it my all. So its gonna come off. Wish I wasn't so addicted to my scale

I am down 24 lbs since being banded. I was also banded on the 19th. I try to get between 1000-1200. If I do too many days below that I stop losing. The other big thing for me is Water. I have to drink at least 72 oz a day or I don't lose. It seems like I am on the high side of the calories. I don't know how others are getting by on so few.

Fozzy, are you a large man or a petite woman? Caloric intake won't be the same for all of us. And exercise is a factor too.

I am so addicted to the scale I get on everyday when I wake up. I think I am going to try skipping a week because I went 10 days without losing anything and I was really getting frustrated so maybe not such a good idea to get on everyday. I am going on 6wks post op this tues. And I am down 30lbs=).

Jepegurl- I am a woman. I am 5'8 and started this at 350lbs. I burn on average about 3200 calories a day. I wear a link armband, so I am confident in my calorie burn. I work out 4-5 times a week and have been tracking my food and Water religiously since January. I also weigh daily.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
