I was banded 3/20, I track all my food on myfitnesspal.com, and get between 750 and 900 cal a day. That is because I am working so hard to get my protein.

I am down about 35 since my preop but 45 since the first of the year. I weigh on Tuesdays (why Tuesdays? I have NO idea!) I have alot ot lose so, it goes pretty quick. I have noticed it slowed alot since I started mushies amd soft food. Before that my average calories were about 650 - 750 a day.

I am down 24 lbs since being banded. I was also banded on the 19th. I try to get between 1000-1200. If I do too many days below that I stop losing. The other big thing for me is water. I have to drink at least 72 oz a day or I don't lose. It seems like I am on the high side of the calories. I don't know how others are getting by on so few.

Fozzy, are you a large man or a petite woman? Caloric intake won't be the same for all of us. And exercise is a factor too.

I am so addicted to the scale I get on everyday when I wake up. I think I am going to try skipping a week because I went 10 days without losing anything and I was really getting frustrated so maybe not such a good idea to get on everyday. I am going on 6wks post op this tues. And I am down 30lbs=).

I really need to up my calories.I did try to but then I saw the scale go up up up. I am 5 ' 3" and currently 208. I'm not hungry neither. Until about 6 then i could eat anything not tied down..lol.

I am the same way. Don't even think about food until I get home then I'm starving!! When we're u banded?

Jepegurl- I am a woman. I am 5'8 and started this at 350lbs. I burn on average about 3200 calories a day. I wear a link armband, so I am confident in my calorie burn. I work out 4-5 times a week and have been tracking my food and water religiously since January. I also weigh daily.

im trying to not get on my scales so much. i know that ive slowed down ... i dont think ive lost any weight in about three days, but, having said that, my waist is coming back and im losing my stomach so even though its not registering on scales something is happening. Im having mushy foods now. anywhere between 800 -1000 most days. Some days im not quite that much. im a month today.
