SOo i have been banded for 7 months.. down about 105. i have been doing yogurt or eggs for breakfast this whole time and i only eat protien fruit and veggies.. but i wanted to start adding something different once in a while.. and i wanted to try cereal. but i want a cereal thats good with vitamins.. low in calories. some protien. low in sugar. and tastes good. any suggestions???

OK well my surgeon and i know many other peoples surgeons tell them protien shakes. Go to a gnc and get isopure. You need to be getting protien in during the day. It is def hard the first few weeks but i think it will be easier if you start incorporating protien shakes into your diet. try your hardest to get 64 oz of water in a day. sip slow. 2 weeks of liquid then start slowly incor mushie.. styill do about 1 protien shake a day. mushie for me was like ricotta cheese and yogurt and cotage cheese. stuff like that. do that for 2 weeks. then slowly start incorporating solids. keep in mind your treating your tummy like a babies tummy. soo so things such as tuna or eggs. cause they are soft. dont start incorpoarting veggies and fruit until about 6 weeks. and at 3 months your ready for tough meet such as steak. you shouldnt drink with your meals.. when youget to solids. wait one hour after eating to drink again. this helps the food stay in pouch longer soo you will stay full longer.. eat food in order protien then fruit and veggies and then carbs. this also helps you stay fuller longer. I went to a top surgeon and these were all the tips i learned soo i hope that it helps you. but for right now GET YOUR PROTIEN IN!! its crucial. and isopure is a lower calorie low sugar protien shake. but there are other ones... good luck!

UMmmm i dont no how i lost saline. i went to the dr. i had 3 ccs in when she did a fill she said i only have 2 and a half in. that i must have lost half. then she asked if ive thrown up and i said yea and she said that may have cause it. i realized its a closed thing but it happened... i have noooo idea how

Throwing up is really bad, so id let it go down if you can go through the pain. i never threw up from slimming its only happened to me 2 times... but i did throw up from drinking too much and i actually lost half a cc in my band which the dr said was prolly from throwing up.. sooo try to avoid it all together..

everyone is definetly different. i have 3 ccs in my 10 cc band and im 6 months out. i have gotten 2 fills both 1 cc ( i started with 1cc from surgery) i cant take anymore then that at a time.
