Does anyone know what the calorie range is supposed to be for a female? If this helps, IM 5'5 weight 240, and IM 39. I've been banded since Sept 2010 but have been committed only since recently

Thanks

I am on a1200 calorie a day with a minimum of 60 grams of protein.

You might find it helpful to join myfitnesspal.com. If you log in you can put in your height, weight, age, how much and how fast you want to lose weight and it will give you a daily calorie count. Then you can track your food and exercise.

Do you have a nutritionist that can help you map out a food plan?

That would be my suggestion because you are going to get all different answers here.

Good luck.

I would strongly recommend seeing a nutritionist. They can help you establish a healthy calorie range specifically for you.

Per my doctor I don't count calories but I measure everything. You might want to get the guidelines from your dr. I have been banded about 4 years and like you recently recommitted . I went back to doctor to have my band checked, they gave me a book with guidelines and I saw one of their nutritionist. I have lost 32.2 since he end of October. They also started me back with a small fill.

Mileage may vary, is the unfortunate answer. I like some others here think you should consult a nutritionist, preferable one that is familiar with lap band surgery.
