I am trying to start tracking my food and wanted to know how many calories a day should we consume?

Everyone is different. Some can only eat 800 calories and some need more. I need to eat 1000 - 1200 cal per day to lose. I would start at 1000 per day and see how it goes. It seems most bandsters are in that area. I think the quality of the food makes a big difference too. You have to watch the fat grams. If I eat 1000 calories and the fat is too high I won't lose.

Good luck!

Thanks Skinny Jill! I am trying to log in my meals now. I think this may help me to determine where I'm going wrong. I eat small portions, I think sometimes I may not eat enough.

      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.
