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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
