Hi Tammy, I was banded Dec. 16, 2005. At my last dr.'s visit the nutritionist told me to limit my calorie intake to 1200 cal a day and make sure to get in at least 80 grams of protein daily. I have been following along with this and so far I have lost 4 lbs already and it's only been 5 days. Before I was trying to eat low carb, but I'm not big on veggies and theres only so much meat a person can eat. I like eating this way much better. I bought me a big book that lists all the nutritional info on just about any food you can find and I keep a list of my calories and proteins so that I know when I've hit my limit for the day. When my 1200 calories are gone, that's it. I stop eating. Hope this will help.

I know Ocala is a little father to drive from Winter Haven, but Dr. Jawad is one of the best. I drive all the way from Okeechobee, which is a three hour drive. You can contact him at Bariatric & Laparoscopy Center of Ocala 352-351-5770 or jawadmd.com Hope this helps, Sue
