It's been awhile since I posted - although I check the posts all the time. Everyone is so helpful and I have learned a ton of do's and don'ts :rolleyes: Well I am 3 weeks post op and have lost 25lbs :bananajump: :lost2.5lbs: I am amazed at how easy this whole process has been so far - I hope it continues. I am really watching my portion control - take 25 minutes to eat and CHEW CHEW CHEW - I am trying to stay away from slider type food and focus on protein. I am a little concerned I am only eating between 500 and 600 calories a day :confused_smile: is this enough? I feel satisfied and stick to the 1/2 cup of food only - sometimes I leave food on the plate because I am satisfied or my 25 minutes is up.... I also excercise every day (every other day add strength excercises to cardio)

I am loving my BAND :thumbup: But have concerns that I am not eating enough .. I do take multivitamin and calcium with D daily .....Any helpful information or advice would be appreciated :thankyou:

I was told to eat 1000 calories daily. That does sound like you aren't getting enough nutrition. Check with your Doc and see what he advises. Sounds like you are doing great. Congrats to you!!! :)

my surgeon told me he wants me at 800 calories a day - when i told the dietician she said the average long term calorie goal is 1100 per day - I need to check with my surgeon about that - I will on my follow up appointment - i'm being banded july 5. Congrats on your 25 pounds - not sure but from other posts i've read on here people seem to think that if you are under the recommended calories you will hit a plateau and then need to actually eat more calories to start losing again - as counterintuitive as that is. Best to talk to the surgeon or dietician. Good luck !!

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
