When I'm eating properly, I range from 950-1150. My practice's RD told me not to under 800, which makes great, good sense in a few ways.

@@susan1349, how are you tracking your intake? It sounds as though you're not using one of the well-known trackers.

I am not yet a bander, but from the things I have taken on home the doctor. I would say try stay around 900-1100 calories... Keep your Protein high, and use a tracker app on your phone or tablet. Myfitnesspal is a great one, or if you want to track your calories out as well, a fitbit is amazing! You can track both at the same time! :)

Best of luck!

On full liquid. Looks like I took in 1000 cal today. The hospital fed me breakfast and lunch. B. Cream of wheat, skim milk. L. Cream of chicken Soup, skim milk, sugar free ice cream then later spread out....snacks. I ate every 3 hours I guess sugar free pudding cup. Instant mashed potatoes. D. Cream of pea Soup, skim milk. Protein shake with PB powder

I feel like I'm full of liquid. Drank sugar free ice tea

      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.
