Calories per day...

Hey there About how many calories per day should we be consuming? How many do you get? --Kelly

Hi Kelly. At my last appointment the doc said to consume between 500-700 cal a day till goal. I get around 300 or so a day. kristi

Hi Kelly, I'm suppose to consume 500-700 a day also. I usually never hit the 500 mark though. Carly

Hi Kelly, My surgeon still wants me to concentrate on protein and fluids but I know that I average about 750 calories a day per fitday.com. Regards and hugs, Ronna

My doc said not to count. BUT...I get 800-950 a day! Sounds like I am getting too much!

Hi Kelly. My doc says to get about 800-900 per day. I usually end up around that too. I would say go by your doc/nutritionist recommendations since it seems like everyone is different. April

I'd say for myself around 700-800 a day, which is doing me well...I eat protein and veggies and fruit, no sodas or candies at all...basically very little sugar as possible which for bandsters we can cheat a tad but I don't risk it...so I stay very low on sugar, most of my sugars come from natural foods, like fruit. Anywho...I hope to continue to lose more.. Kelli BTW: Like your name...hehehe Normally people spell my name with a "y" .

Thanks for all the answers!!! I guess I am in the 800 - 900 range. For those that barely get 500 a day...what are you eating? I am just wondering if I need to be cutting back on a few things... Thanks for the help. --Kelly
