The old nutritionist is what my dr tells me

Not enough calories in to lose

I met with the bariatric team yesterday at the hospital I will be getting the lapband procedure done. I am still awaiting insurance approval, but for now, the nurse put me on 1200 calorie diet, 30 min a day exercise plan. Whenever my procedure is scheduled, I will be put on a stricter diet a week prior to the procedure, but I'm not going to focus on that right now. So I'm buckling down and trying to stick to the plan, as I know this will make for an easier transition after the procedure. This is a lifestyle change and the lapband is only a tool to assist with weightloss. There will be many changes I will have to make along the way for me to be successful, so here I go.

band buddy here, just message me

sounds like dehydration to me, it happened to me, dr said I wasnt drinking enough Water

The old nutritionist is what my dr tells me

ride roller coasters

Is starvation mode real? does it really happen?
My Fitness Pal says I need 2600 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week, yesterday I ate about 1200, is that enough?
Someone help me please.

Does anyone have trouble losing weight when eating 1,200 calories? I am finding if I eat more than 1,200 I lose more?

I just dont see any reason not to tell them you had the surgery?
The surgery saved my life!!! I was pushing 600, just my opinion on it

during surgery? You will be out, dont expect anything. After surgery you will be sore for a few days, nothing to bad, just rest and take it easy, stay hydrated.

I so agree with you, they band is only a tool. You can still eat all the junk that made you fat to begin with.
I LOVE my band!!!!

Dr Malley and staff are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was banded 11/4/2010, have lost 165lbs so far

I wanted the least invasive and nothing rerouted or cut out. It was a very easy decision for me. I needed to lose around 300 and stil chose the band, down 165 so far and love love LOVE it.

Me too Laura, I already made plans to be there once im small enough

Everyone know I had the surgery, and if anyone asks I gladly tell them. I am proud to be banded and losing weight.

I was wondering from any of you experience bandsters about how many calories do you eat per day? Im not sure if I am eating enough. The nurse told me I needed to eat more to lose weight, sounds weird to me, but im not sure.
Thanks for your help.
