I JUST RECEIVED A TIP THAT IF YOU ADD PROTEIN TO YOUR MEALS YOU WILL INDEED LOSE MORE WT. AND FEEL FULLER! NOW THIS CAN MEAN ADDING 1/2 SCOOP OF PROTEIN POWDER TO YOUR MEALS SUCH AS DRINKS, SOUPS, OR FOOD, OR SPRINKLING LOW FAT SHREDDED CHEESE ON YOUR EGGS OR SALADS OR FISH OR CHICKEN, OR SPRINKLING SEEDS OR NUTS (CRUSHED) ON YOUR FOODS, TRY TO EAT ONLY POULTRY (CHICKEN) SEAFOOD, FISH OF ALL KINDS, SHRIMP, CANNED TUNA, SALMON AND AVOID PORK AND BEEF. THE MORE PROTEIN YOU EAT THE FULLER YOU WILL FEEL AND THE LESS YOU WILL EAT!!!! USE OLIVE OIL AND AVOID ALL TRANS FATS. (READ A LINK ALSO THAT SAYS USING TRANS FATS CAUSES DEPRESSION - A LARGE STUDY WAS DONE ON THIS). EAT LOTS OF EGGS WHETHER THEY ARE BOILED, SCRAMBLED OR WHATEVER. TRY STARTING OUT YOUR MEAL WITH A CUP OF SOUP FIRST, AS IT GIVES YOUR LAPBAND A JUMPSTART AND KINDA REVITALIZES YOU. THEN PROCEED WITH YOUR MEAL. YOU WILL EAT LESS. ALSO - WHEN YOUR BAND GIVES YOU THAT "WARNING" - KINDA LIKE OK YOU ATE ENOUGH FEELING ( A LITTLE BIT OF DISCOMFORT OR REGURGITATION) THEN STOP EATING!!!!! WELL - I FOR ONE - WILL HEED THIS TIP AND SEE IF IT WORKS FOR ME! GOOD LUCK FELLOW BANDERS!!!!
