How many calories do you get in a day?



Recommended Posts

I was on 5-600 from months 2-5. I stalled for a week so increased to between 8-900. Started losing regularly again. I'm just over 6 months and keep under 1000 a day.

Ok. I'm confused and I could be a little slow today. If you stall, you up calories for a time then reduced and lost weight? Or lost weight just by upping calorie intake? Help me understand.

Eight days out and am averaging 484 calories/day. Before that I had the lap band for ~7 years and averaged about 1400 cal/day, lost ~129 lbs (before my unfill to prepare for sleeve).

I'm 17 days out and I'm getting 500-700 calories a day. 3 Protein shakes, a poached egg and a babybel cheese is my standard daily menu right now. Sometimes I go wild and throw in a spoonful of two of cottage cheese.

At 3.5 months I was eating 900-1000 depending on the day. I eat around 1500 a day now.

      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.
