How Many Calories/exercise Are You Getting?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out today and was wondering how many calories and exercise everyone is getting in at this point. Personally I shoot for 600-700 cals and am jogging&walking about 4 times a week (1.5 miles). I do not know if this is normal or not.

I just want everyone to post what they are doing :) also, I would love if everyone left their myfitnesspal info so we can be friends!

I'm not on MFP but, I'm getting about 800 cals per day and walking 3 miles per day 6 days per week. I'm going to start bumping up the exercise though.

Almost 6 months out, and I always shoot for 800 calories (sometimes I miss the shot and hit 900;) ) and I usually burn between 450- 550 calories 5 days/week. I use the elliptical for an hour M-F.

I'm 7 weeks post-op today and eat between 500-650 calories a day. My typical day at the Y consists of an hour of walking (at 3.0mph, with a 1% incline) followed by an hour of Water aerobics. I do that twice a day (8-10 am, and 6-8 pm), Monday-Thursday. Friday I only do the morning. Saturday and Sunday I walk an hour twice a day (no water aerobics classes offered on the weekends). I burn a little under 900 calories a day walking...the water aerobics adds another 600-800 calories, depending on the intensity of the class. :)

      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.
