This is where I get confused. When you eat just a cup of food is that around 300 calories? I am having problems with amounts. I am about 8 wks out and I am suppose to start adding food that I can chew thoroughly. I am not restricted yet so I must be careful. This has been a definite challenge for me. Prior to LAP-BAND® I restricted my calories to 1000 a day.

We are going to St Marteen. Where are you going? I hope I can judge the amounts I will be eating. Cant wait

I am leaving on a cruise 10-17. Makes me nervous. At that point I will be 7 weeks out. Any suggestions to make my food choices easier?

Thank you for the info.

Hi, I have asked this question several times. I need my omega 3 oil. Gummies??? Where can I get some info. I do not like fish so I need a supplement. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

I take LiquiMax from Costco. My whole family takes it.

I take LiquiMax from Costco. I took it before being banded. My whole family takes it. I need a suggestion for Omega 3. Fish is not my favorite. Always took a supplemant but can not take it now.

I forgot to ask what kind of shakes are you drinking? Check the sugar content. Just a thought. My shakes have about 160 calories.

Hi, Are you sure that you eating enough?

You are not the only one experiencing the up and down lbs. I do not understand it either. I have no restriction yet. I am doing 800 calories also. I go down 1 lb and up 2 lbs. They are adjusting my meds also. Scarey to me cause my bp drops 30 points at a time. Guess we both have to have patience. What are you eating?

Please add me. Jenno 9-2-09

Thank you for your encouragement. I guess I just needed to be vent. What is really funny.....I am craving carbonation, not necessary soda but the feeling of carbonation. Weird!

Hi All, Banded 9-2 and getting very down. I have only lost 5 lbs. I am keeping to high protein. My band is empty so maybe that is not helping. I am loosing the same amount that I would loose before I was banded. I am keeping mostly to protein shakes , some eggs, tuna and chicken. Getting disheartened. I am happy for all of the sept banders. Keep up the good work.

It is funny. I lost 28 lbs before the surgery on a healthy high protein diet. It took forever. Dr recommended that I look into lap band. Had is done 9-2 lost another 8 lbs since. Only one person has noticed it. They will say you got new glasses? LOL
