Does anyone know what the calorie range is supposed to be for a female? If this helps, IM 5'5 weight 240, and IM 39. I've been banded since Sept 2010 but have been committed only since recently

Thanks

Mary

Do you have a nutritionist that can help you map out a food plan?

That would be my suggestion because you are going to get all different answers here.

Good luck.

Per my doctor I don't count calories but I measure everything. You might want to get the guidelines from your dr. I have been banded about 4 years and like you recently recommitted . I went back to doctor to have my band checked, they gave me a book with guidelines and I saw one of their nutritionist. I have lost 32.2 since he end of October. They also started me back with a small fill.

Mileage may vary, is the unfortunate answer. I like some others here think you should consult a nutritionist, preferable one that is familiar with lap band surgery.

      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.
