Hello fellow bandsters, I wanted to know what everyone else is doing when counting intake daily of Calories, Protein and Fat. I joined DailyPlate.com and it says in order for me to lose 5lbs a week I need to east 1458 calories at my weight as of now. Hmm the doctors twig LOL nutritionist has a basic calorie intake for everyone of 800-1000 calories a day. I range from 950 - 1300 Protein 72-90g and Fat 26-42g. Can I ask what everyone else is doing and what in your experience has been the best? Just wondering if this is a normal range for Calories, protein and fat intake a day. I know I'm dropping fat like crazy since I have clothes already falling off me. I don't weight myself until the 17th two week time frames. Just better for me that way. Please help!!

I don't count fat, but I get 60-100g of protein a day and around 1200-1500calories per day.

That's awesome.... I'm losing right now like crazy with doing almost the same as you are. I weigh in tomorrow. Only once a month on my bandster date each month. I can tell by my clothes things have really shaken up. Everything is sooooooo lose and big etc..... It feels GREAT!! Thanks for your response.

Cynthia By the way your looking so healthy and Hot!! Awesome!

Hi, You were banded about two weeks before me. Do you still drink your protein shakes daily? I have to admit I have stopped drinking mine.

I still drink my shake. I have it everyday for breakfast to start the day. 1 cup Skim milk mixed with a large scoop of Unjuy protein powder (28-30 protein). I then have a snack about 9:30 - 10:00 Banana, hummus with a couple of small pretzels, or nuts. Nothing high in calories about 100-120. I think the shake for me in very helpful to get all my protein in and keep me snacking. How are you doing so far??? How much lost since surgery?? Cynthia

That's UnJury Protein

I follow weight watchers and eat 1k a day with a 200 calorie increase if I wish daily. So that puts me at 1200 with my wine :-} I am losing at least 2 lbs a week now that I finally got it down. WW actually had me eating 1800 and I wasn't losing. So good for you if you can lose at 1500! And yes, bandsters typically eat 800-1k.
