My doctor held out on stage 2 recipes!!

I've been on stage 2 for almost 5 days now and was just about to ask the doc to advance me to stage 3. My doctor's food list has grits, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, protein shakes and clear liquids.... There's no mention of cream of broccoli soup, egg salad, refried beans with ground chicken (pureed), chili, etc.... I think they purposely left those off the menu so that ppl wouldn't over eat. But, I chose lowfat, dieters cream soup and I'm only eating 400-600 calories a day. I googled stage 2 LAP-BAND®® recipes and I can't wait to try them!! I also just discovered that when your calorie consumption is too low, you don't lose weight...hence the reason I've only lost 4 pounds since surgery (9 days ago). Normally, I would've lost more by now....

So, I'm gonna up the calories to 700-900 a day!! Woo hoo, can't wait to eat more and add variety:tongue_smilie:

    Ensure shakes can increase your calorie intake by a couple hundred if you need a few extra by the end of the day. My husband had ensure right away after being banded so he would get enough calories etc. It has worked great. He has lost 15 pounds so far in 2.5 weeks, which is huge for him. Well have fun eating more variety. I know he is looking forward to that and is counting down the days :0)
