I drink Protein shakes as a meal replacement in the morning...the one i usually drink is a soy protein shake that is 170 a scoop per 8 ounces. I brought a shaker bottle when i was doing my pre op diet so i just use that to measure. I take 8 ounces of fat free milk, which i would check the calories on the mill i try to buy milk that is 90 calories and the only place i can find it is stop and shop but just look around. Honestly, i switch it up one week ill drink shakes for breakfast and one week ill eat a 1/2 a cup of food just your preference. What i have noticed is having six small meals instead of three has helped alot. I eat alot of fruit and yogurt as well. I also tried to keep track of all the foods i eat and calories that are in them. Im also considering becoming a vegan or a Pescetarian because i have a hard time with alot of meats and plus i would miss chicken, red meat, or pork. Hopes this help

She could try that if she was white but being african american our skin is different and we heal differently. I had the surgery and my scars faded considerably.

This is the main reason why i became a secret squirrel. Like everybody told me your young so the skin will probably stretch back.

My first goal weight is to b under 300lbs.

After i got my ass chewed out by my surgeon last week ive been really working hard to eat Breakfast and do what i am suppose to do. Ive only been eating 4oz meals. I weighed myself at home yesterday and i was 313.8. I had an appointment with my primary doctor today and I got weighed and im down to 310 and thats after i ate lunch. I am excited to start to see the scale go down. Hopefully i can hit my goal weight by the end of September. AJ

Thank you! I was weighing myself everyday and I would get depressed because I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I started eating 4oz meals and doing what I'm suppose to do. All I have to do is start exercising. I have UFC trainer for Xbox Kinect and I want to get Zumba as well.

The last time I was weighed at my doctor's office I was 316. I didn't want to weigh myself at home because I think my scale is off however I got on the scale a few minutes ago and I weighed 313.8. I'll take that idk if it's just my morning weight or what. AJ

So today i started to eat soft foods after i had my fill on Wednesday doing the liquids for two days was not as hard as it usually is because i didnt feel like eating. Today i had my 4 oz of food for Breakfast, lunch i had a snack pack pudding, and for dinner i had 4 oz of chicken and rice Soup, a recipe that i got off the lapband website. I work weird hours on the weekends so now i am hungry but i dont want to eat so late. Im trying to drink enough Water so that when i get home i can just go to bed. My co worker was shocked that all i was having was 4 oz of soup for dinner but he told me it will all pay off in the end. I also have a weird sleeping pattern as well where i sleep for a couple of hrs and then im up for the rest of the night. I make sure my meals consist of Proteins but i dont get why im still hungry. AJ
