Calories!

[Claxxy]

Hi Guys,

I had a gatric band done 3 months ago, since I have lost 3 stone. I am wondering how many calories a day other banders on here are roughly consuming a day?

Thanks in advance xxx

Hi Claxxy,

I think some people do count calories. Some people don't count calories. Some people low carb. I think banders find their own route to weight loss and use the band as a piece of equipment to assist them along the route i.e. not over eating.

Bit like a car; imagine the band is a car .... A car will get you from A - Z however it is only a piece of equipment to get you there .. the skill is in the driver; their driving ability, fuel consumption and the route the driver chooses to take take. Some drivers are very focused and take the most direct route and ultimately get to their 'destination' quicker, then there are cautious drivers and confused drivers and down-right reckless drivers oh and middle-laners

So in answer to the calorie question .... about 1200kCal .... but even then thats not strictly true for me and one persons need is different to anothers .... depending on their physiology, physical activity.

I do about 900- 1000 and am thinking now that maybe it is not enough?

Well I've been having about 800?! But I am getting a little hungry now and again, hence why I asked the question.


Thank you everyone for all of your replies!
