Ive been at 17 Lbs for 3 weeks ! Its REALLY starting to get to me.

I was banded on 10-22. I have been stalling at 17 Lbs..Im starting to wonder if its because Im not getting enough protein.

Im a RN..DO NOT wait until the 5th. If u cant get in any sooner then go to the ER. It sounds like your falling thru the cracks..Your surgeon probably hasnt even been told about ur issues.

I know that Im not suppose to have over a cup of food per meal..Does this mean that if I weighed my food that I could have 8 oz per meal or does it mean an actual measuring cup ? Also..Im having issues getting my protein in. Should I drink a protein shake or go short on my protein ?

I miss dinner rolls. Will I ever be able to eat those ?

I have too. I thought the chewable vitamins may be causing it.

Thanks guys..I truly appreciate ur help with all of questions and concerns.

I was banded on 10-22 and i was fine but since my first fill on 11-12 . Im extremely tired since that..I come home from work 5ish and nap for a few hours and Im still in bed by 11. Has anyone else went thru this ?

What exactly is the green zone and how do i know im in it ?

I also put salt and pepper in cottage cheese with a salted piece of tomato..

When I "had to have" chocolate i had a hershey kiss.

Thanks Guys !

Im a newbie here. What is PB and what foods are "slider foods" ?

Today at 330 was my first fill. (4 ml) I didnt know that I would be banded this early. I had a late lunch (1ish). Now i feel absolutely stuffed. Is this normal ? Im hoping it will pass after my lunch is digested. I hate this feeling. Im miserable.

My Dr said that its lack if protein. Make sure your getting all that u need.

If Im not mistaken you shouldnt be drinking Ensure for ur protein. Example..if ur protein drink has 20gm of protein then ur calories shouldnt be more than 200.. The calories shouldnt be more than 10x ur protein.
