Hey Y'all

I was just wondering if everyone was counting calories? My doc told me that I should be eating no more than 900 a day. Most days I stay under 900 and there's been a few days where I've gone over a bit but, no more then 100. My weight loss seems to be steady I've been banded since 1/24/07 and have had one fill of 1.3cc in a 4cc band. To date I have lost 33lbs. I go for another fill in 3 weeks. I just bought a home gym and can't wait to get it set up and going on that. Well I look forward to hearing from y'all just curious as to what other people are doing to encourage more weight loss.:)

I've not counted anything and have gone from 113kg to 80kg in about 15 months. I've been really pleased with that, I only have about 8 to lose.

But years of dieting mean I know the calorie count of every food known to modern man, and by rough guessing I've eaten 1500 to 1800 a day on average - which seems to be a lot for a female but its done me fine. I do run a lot though.

However the last bit isnt budging, there does come atime when its absolutely necessary!

Yes when I worried I started counting . I would stop at no more then 1100 but tried to stop at 800 to 1000.

Now I can kinda of feel out the calories. I do stay with low calorie foods.

I snack on rice cakes. They seem to fill me up . New flavors cinnamon and sugar,honey graham and BBQ (yum).

      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.
