How many calories????



Recommended Posts

I just signed on to that site--fitday.com--love it and it will be a great eye opener for me, since I eat when I am stressed, etc.....

Hey--the question--how many calories am I supposed to be eating? I average about 1000-1200 depending on how close I drive to the darn Dairy Queen! (I swear the building has magnets on it and sucks my car off the road).

how many gms of Protein, carbs etc...I am still eating waaay to many carbs.

thanks

Kimberly, If you go to www.room42.com and click on "basal metabolism calculator" on the bottom of page it will tell you what YOU need to lose weight. For me no less or more that 1200 calories to lose weight. no more than 40 grams of fat, 45 grams of portein and 165 grams of carbs. I will NOT eat that many carbs or fat grams though.

Coytote Girl Thanks for the info I just went and did mine and I think it will help having something to go by. I'm like you I don't think I could ever eat that much fat and carbs sure seems like a lot!!!

HAH! I can ALWAYS eat that many grams of fat! In fact my target for fat is 67g (not calculated by the room42 site). This was calucated by a site I have access to as one of the benifits from my DH's job.

Okay, WHO gave ice cream my name???? Luckily for me however, the DQ in my exile doesnt' taste very good. But when I get to go home... different matter entirely!

I am picky-er now about the ice cream that I eat--our DQ is FAB, darn them!

We have a cool little ice cream shop open in the summer only--run by a very tall, very thin woman--they have the BEST ice cream EVER!

Why oh why!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
