DeAna N

are you tracking how much you are eating? I use myfitness pal I feel part of the battle is knowing how much you are eating so you will stay on target obviously we can't be the best at guessing how much to eat or we wouldn't need the band but don't give up just start fresh today tomorrow is over and done fresh start hope I helped

happy Band day I am happy to hear you ar recovering very well get some rest and Good Luck

I am right with wild rose I am to shoot for 75 or more protien and no more than 1200 calories

at least 75gram here

I know it is hard but I know you can do it Focus on protien that you can eat when I eat my protien(eggs, etc) instead of drinking them I stay fuller longer and I am more satisfied than with just the protien shakes so I plan my meals and supplement with my shake. I know you will do well hang in there I would try to get it moved up like someone else suggested or at least ask them to call you if someone cancels thier appt

same for me

Way to go

I tried isopure(GNC) it's clear like juice but has more protien I would mix it with G2 it kind of taste mediciny if not diluted that is how I kept my protien up. I'm really big on high protien I know if you go to low it can cause hair loss so I am almost phobic about it I even used the protien shots they are clear 120 calories and 26g and it is aonly about 2oz of liquid. I just don't want you to get burnt out on broth this week There are other options you can try that are still clear liquids

not everyone loses their hunger. I am just now starting to have times when I'm hungry mainly in the morning I seem to be really hungry but throughout the day I never seem to be hungry keep sipping your broth I think the warm broth made my stomach feel so much better and with the gas I didn't have much room in there so I sipped through out the day. I don't think you have a limit I doubt you would be able to drink too much (calories wise) Sounds like you are doing great

Funny funny

me too I have a body pillow I kind of slept halfway on my side and that pillow

good luck

Wonderful awesome job

glad to hear you are doing well congrats

Congrats

i'm 12DYS post op too....I just got to cocky for my own good...I just survived my first stuck episode today I must say it re-enforced the reason for all the rules. It brought it all home for me I've never had that much pressure in my chest and the food felt like it was in the back of my throat and I couldn't swallow it down..terrible I think I am having soup for dinner my body has bee traumitized enough(I'm a drama queen..smile)

I get that now but I use that as a guide to stop because I only get it when I start getting full

one of mine is doing it too

mind too but so set my fitness pal for 1200 & I changed my % of Protein. Carbs & fat so I'm getting more protien also just because you set it at 1200 u done have to use every calories I average about 900

I'm sorry I'm 1wk out now no pain under ribs my gas likes to hang out in my left shoulder sometimes it is pretty bad I hope you get some relief soon

way to go I haven't weighed yet I have my appt next weeks so it will be a big surprise I was so swollen so I have no idea at all

congrats to you all

I didn't weigh after surgery because it can be discouraging u were pumped full iv dripped to ensure you were hydrated & getting some nutrition in addition you were inflated with gas until you release the gas fluids and swelling it is not your true weight don't stress yourself out I was banded on 15Aug and I wont know my weight until 30Aug when I go to my follow up appt

@carolinagirl I had lapband with plication too... how soon did you DR give you a fill? I thought they would wait for my wieght loss to slow down( we are expected to lose a lot in the begiining due to the smaller stomach) and then start the fills I am only 5 Dy post op and I am waiting to weigh myself on the 30th at my DR appt but I was wondering how long your DR waited to begin your fills. thanks

@farmgirl04...Happy to hear... wonderful news about the BP medicine..on to mushies i must say I am jealous ...I don't think I can move foward until the 30th I am working hard on trying to get my intake up
