How many calories can you eat?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I've been pretty good at counting my calories and I'm curious how many calories you eat now post band? Sometimes I feel like I don't do very well and eat too much. I've been searching for a thread that was similar to this with NO luck.

Thank you!

a gabillion depending on the day and the mood my band is in. but mostly it depends on my food choices. i had a candy bar today (hiding my head in shame) so i am sure that really racked them up! agh agh agh!!!

How much "can" I eat and how much "should" I eat are two different questions with fastly different answers.

We *should* be staying around 1200 to 1500. I think I'm around 1500 many days, higher than that other days, but I don't lose weight unless I eat less than 1300 ALL DAYS. boo hoo.

This is a very loaded question, because how many calories you can eat depends on what you are eating. If I only ate Protein, I would probably have a hard time getting to 1,000. But who wants to eat only chicken breasts all damn day? Then again, if I only ate ice cream, I would never be full, and I could probably go over 10,000. Where's Susan to get on her protein soapbox? :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
