I have lost 27kilos since 18th sep 2007

My doctor in the booklet he gave me told me not to have empty calories - on drinks, and he also had in there on milk products - yogurt, he said not to have milk products because boosts the calories to fast??I always go for low fat.

I am taking the advice which was given to me which included protein to stop hunger. You have done really well since Jan keep up the good work, but unlike me you have a youngster to run around after so yep you cant get tired which a child will do to you. I got banded on 18 sep 2007 and lost 27 kilos so you doing real real well, i started at weight 102. lost from 115 over 2 years myself before the band, we will over come our problems and get to our goal!

Thank you, will try that tommorrow.

I have been banded since 18 sep 2007 but lost 27kilos so far, but yes can eat anything, and lately feel real hungry, had 4 fills next not till end of may

Today I at protein soup for breakfast, large skinny flat white when i got to work, 3 vietnames rice paper rolls(vegetarian ) for lunch, later black coffee, 4 sesame crisps total 40 grams between lunch and dinner, large roast chicken leg, then was hungry just eatern 4 corn thin crisp breads, with two slices of cheese - light cheese. Am i eating ok, what should i have eaten. Have been banded since sep 18 2007.Help!

What should i eat between meals, have been eating my normal days food as per since having banding 6 mnths ago, drinking lots of water, what to eat between, besides fruit, or jelly??

In australia they have protein soups - Tony ferguson brand, the creamy chicken is lovely, but the others, like drinking flour in water.

Finding it hard, but dont want problems with band because of my smoking, plus my health not to mention all the money, going to try patches again, tried years ago and had bad nightmares, try again, like with the food, try and try till i succeed.

Thank you for letting me know the amount is not squashed up or pureed, get the idea now,nop i am eating alot more than that.You have done really well with you weightloss, hope to soon follow in your footsteps.

When they say half a cup, does that mean if all the food was squashed down, or like in a puree state equivalent to half a cup? I had half a packet of froxen corn and half a pear for dinner. What do you think?

Got banded by dr tony keirth in sept 2007, he told me he now using a new type of band and he showed me.Any idea what type of lap band it is, i know he only uses one type -- well i think as he only showed me one.:crying:

You probably have read my previous posts on this topic i am eating alot more than that, we await maybe someonr will tell us how much we suppose to eat. I got banded 18 sep 2007, 4 fills so far. starting weight 102 and i am 5ft 4 inches.

I was concerned because you cant take asprin and only certain laxatives, so thought because the saliva woul goo down may affect. And i know alcohol is very concentrated on lapbanders thought maybe the stuff would be too cocentrated fom the patch . Pre band different, but post band concerned about.

Good to see you have kept the weight of for 7.5 years,and you age bracket is the most sociable - going out and all.well done.

Yep my port definately sticks out, it is on my slimmest part of me the waist, but i suppose none see it. i would rather be getting slim with a bump, rather than being one big big bump.

Will try and not eat too much, dont think been filled enough yet maybe.

Will check the thread under weight watchers, thanx keep forgetting about the threads.

I am going to try weight watchers, with ww and the band should -- will do it this time and keep the weight off.

Wow, thanx for that, I am in Australia too, so maybe dont have to stress out.

After reading everyones comments, sounds like need a fill, not having one till 28 april, shit long time.

Was thinking of joining weight watchers, but not telling them have had lap banding. Is anyone doing weight watchers? any good??? I did it years ago but kept putting the weight on due to not having my helping lapband.

Is it safe to use nicabate patches, or gum or lozenges after being lap banded, have been banded 6 months now??
