How many Calories? Protein? Carbs?

Just curious as to what everyone is doing, thanks.

You really should take this question to your doctor or nutritionist. We are all different and getting a bunch of varied data will not answer your question. What is right for you is what you should do. n No comparisons, PERIOD!

I agree with Chez, you need to talk to a nutritionist. Everyone has their own idea what works and what doesn't, and at the end of the day, what anyone else is doing is irrelevant. All that matters is that you're doing what's best for you.

See your nutritionist. They will help you establish food and calorie guidelines to fit your specific needs.

We all get different plans from our Dr. Mine personally is 1000cal & 60 gr of Protein.< /p>

What's your plan?

I haven't been told yet although back in the day when I would diet it all had to do with my height weight n gender. The paper work I got from my hospital says

800-100 calories daily initially (I've been eating bout 1200 but am also working out)

80-100 grams of Protein (I usually have 60)

0-8 grams of carbs per meal

0-8 grams of fat per meal

Max 1000 grams of sodium

64-80 oz Water

Vitamins ( as suggested by your doctor)

I am not telling you to follow my plan n can't imagine a man eating as little as this but this is what the hospital gave me. I just started having solids one week ago n my weight has stayed the same since so I have totally upped my exsersize hoping this will help. I am going to make an appointment with my nutritionist to see if this is good for my height n weight. My fitness pal tells me I'm eating too little n that I should eat all my calories including the ones I worked off but it also doesn't know I have the band. I also want to ask my nut about our bodies going into starvation mode n how that works. I don't follow these rules I posted to a T but I just wanted to share this info with you.

      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.
