Calories intake with LAP-BAND?

Just curious as to everyone's calorie intake while in the active weight loss stage and then for Maintenance after reaching weight goal, after Lap-Band surgery?

    For me personally, I am in maintenance for many years and eat around 1000-1300 calories per day. Some days are a bit lighter. I'm just not really hungry some days, but I do still drink protein drinks. And I do have all sorts of high protein energy bars as an added way to get to my 67 grams of protein.

    It is water I fall short on sometimes. Every day I try!

    Some days my band is fussy and I need to let it settle down .... If I eat slowly and small, I'm usually good for the day.

    I'm post-op day 21 and can barely eat 2 cups of food a day. My RD did say for maintenance I should be around 1200 calories a day.

    Hi Julie that sounds like very good advice. How many years have you had the lapband? I was interested in your comment about ur being a bit sensitive sometimes. I find if I am stressed... She is stressed!!
