I've been out of the game awhile. How many calories should I maintain a day and is it a cup of food or half of cup?

Oh no

Thanks def have the headache tho :-)

Oh OK that makes sense thanks guys

Yesterday was 940 my total calories

I'm on day 2 of liquid(5 day pouch test) n I gained 3lbs.. odd I think anyone else had this happen ..I use my fitness pal and I'm under 1000 calories I've been drinking tea fat Fred broth water adkin protein shake jello

1 day down on liquids last few times I tried getting back on track the liquid part just ruined it and I failed n for some reason its easier this time around I think its because I'm finally ready to start my journey again n get back on track I'm not as bitchy and hungry as I thought I was gonna be and I'm feeling very confident about still being on liquids 2morrow

Sorry I just had to share my funny exspirence

The only time my port was visible is when I was like 8months pregnant it really stuck out n everyone thought it was the baby's foot lol

Ur body probley went into starvation mode cause ur eating a quarter of what u used to so ur body's storing everything u put into it to thrive. And if that's the case I don't even think weight loss surgery would work starting out slower and gradually reducing ur eating is probley better and honestly if whatever ur doing now is working than keep with it .. I'm sorry u went thru all this and ur doctor was an ass and it didn't work for you ..good luck in ur journey

OK I'm doing the 5day pouch test and I need liquid and soft food ideas I'm on a really tight budget to and last time I was on liquids I was starving :-(

Thanks for the info I'm gonna do the 5day pouch test

My last fill was about 8months ago and they filled me to right about 9.5cc in a 10cc and I'll admit I got off track n overate a lot so that's another one of my concerns

Cause I used to be only able to eat about a cup and now I can probley eat about 3 and certail thing that would fill me up fas don't anymore ..

Ty

I'm 100% sure i stretched my pouch and I just really don't have the money for a few months to see my doc.. n if read how a lot of them empty u band for 4 weeks and stay on liquid and than get refilled.. well I can't do that for a few months so can anyone recommend what I can try n do with still being filled? Should I do liquids for a week or the 5 day test

Oh OK thanks guys

I hear a lot about being in the green zone or not in the green zone .. n I have no clue what that means? Can someone fill me in

Well right now not at all really o try n run around with my little man to burn some calories but I'm gonna try n get some workout videos and stuff can't really walk around my neiborhood I live on real busy road with no side walka

Yup I'm gonna do my best to try n stay on track

Im kinda in the same boat got banded 3years ago first 7months was great than got pregnant and had a lot of personal life relationship problems and fell way of track gained a lot back n scared to see my doc .. so I came back on this site and got encouragement from my band family and I started eating right again and I started Saturday and I'm 6lbs down already n feeling so much better about myself .. good luck n hit me up whenever u need to chat

I've been doing so good 6lbs down and I'm keeping myself under 1000calories and 1/2 cup of food

Thank u everyone for ur support

Yea I know its just finding the willpower .. I almost wish I could have the surgery all over again and start from scratch.. I rearranged my room today and went thru my closet and realized nothing fit only my work pants and a few tshirts and that just really upset me n made me so mad to be back here
