Thanks for your advice, still learning how to use this blog. Will try to up the calories some.

Hi, I was banded June 22 and lost 6.6 lbs. the first week but now am at a standstill. Only eating about 600-700 calories a day. Am walking. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I will have 2 weeks off which is what I'm currently planning to take.

Hi, I've been following this site and now have a few questions. Plan to have lap band this summer and currently have been doing the optifast program. Now I am in staying on track and have lost 54 lbs. I've read different things and am wondering if you are able to eat a sandwich or have pasta at all. Also I am a nurse working in a geriatric psych unit and wonder how long I will have to be off work. Also have umbilical hernia surgery at the same time. How did everyone feel after the surgery? Thanks.
