Thank you for the advice. I have just been so frustrated lately. I appreciate it!

Hi! My name is Amy. I was banded on 11/25/08. Since my pre-op diet, I have lost 20 lbs. Unfortunately, once I started on "real" foods I must be getting carried away because I am gaining. I can't get my first fill for 2 weeks and I heard that I won't feel any difference until about 4 fills. I can't afford to gain weight until the fills kick in. Please help. What should I be eating daily?? Maybe I am not eating properly. I would hate to have to go back to Protein shakes for months. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Thank you all for your kind words and advice. None of my friends have been banded (actually I don't think any of them even diet...gotta hate skinny people :wink2:) I don't have anyone to talk to that completely understands my thoughts. It is nice to have others to share with. I am glad to know that I am "normal." Have a good night!

Hi all! My name is Amy and this is my 1st post. I was banded on 11/25/08 in Dallas, TX. I started this process at 213 lbs. I lost 10 pounds pre-op and at my appointment last week, I was 191. I was very proud of myself and then I got on the scale for the last few days and I was up! To be honest, I have been eating more over the last week. Since I have been banded, I have had had zero problems with food, which is good, but I am afraid of getting back into my old habits that caused me to get this in the 1st place. I feel like I don't have any restriction. I can't get in for my 1st fill until 1/12/09 and I am worried about gaining weight until then. I have been journaling what I am eating and trying to get as much protein as possible. How many carbs should I have each day? Any meal plan ideas? I just ordered 2 weight loss surgery cookbooks online, so I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I am just getting frustrated and would hate to think that I paid 12500 to loose 20 lbs. Any advice would be appreciated. Happy New Year!!
