Daily calories



Recommended Posts

How many calories is too little. I've been eating around 800 a day and weight loss has stalled. I'm eating really healthy small portions. How many calories do you guys eat per day?

Unfortunately, we really can't answer that. Some eat as little as 600 calories and some eat upwards of 1500 calories daily. There is no "right" answer, it's a matter of your metabolism and health needs.

Ask your nutritionist to be safe. They know what's best for your specific situation.

That dreadful calorie goal is about trial and error. Sure you can talk to your nutritionist but even they dont always have a solid answer because its your body and it is what works for you. I personally shoot for around 1100 cals a day. I find a hard time staying under at times and Ill admit there are days I eat some of my exercise calories.

For me, one of the best days with the band was when I learned to be set free from counting calories or traditional dieting...ever again.

Came in conjunction with settling into life in the Green Zone, where my portions are set (small) and I only need to eat good healthy foods...

I also exercise a lot, and stay very active...so it would appear what little I do eat, and drink in the day, I probably burn the majority of it off....I used to go crazy worrying about this and trying to sty on top of it....

This may not be related but some days I can eat like crazy with my band and other days I'm so restricted it's hard to get anything down. Does this happen to anyone else? I have 7 cc's in my band currently.

      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.

        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!
