I just started introducing solid foods back into my diet. I am supposed to be getting 1200 calories a day(which is very hard to do) and 40g of Protein. At first I wasn't getting enough protein so I felt like I was starving all of the time! Now that i am getting enough, i feel better and am lasting about 4 hours in between meals. I also am not supposed to have my first meal till 10am so I have my Protein shake at 8am then eat at 10, 2 & 6. This seems to be working well for me. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I just wanted to say that hitting your calorie goal really helps! I was banded on 02/13/13 and didn't have to do a pre-op diet. I was 289 surgery date and this morning I am down to 276.2. I lost 10 lbs the first week and have been stuck there till this past Friday (March 1st) and all of a sudden, after reading so many people preaching on here that you really need to get all of your calories in, I made some changes and boom! I'm down 3 more lbs in 2 days! It really helps! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Proud of you! A true inspiration to all of us newbies out here!!!

I just had my surgery on the 13 of this month and I feel the same way that you do!!! So excited for this lifechanging event that is currently happening to me! There is no better feeling! Can't wait to have the confidence that I have always lacked and to feel what everyone always tells me I am...BEAUTIFUL!
