Has anyone done slim4life with the band?

Just wondering if anyone has done slim4life after you were banded. I did it last year and it worked good, but couldnt deal with all the pills. But the diet that my doctor is going to have me on afterwards seems alot like the slim4life diet. Lots of protein and some vegies.

No, haven't but will look at it on internet. Similar to atkins? Noticed your surgery is tomorrow! Good luck! and be sure to come back the site to let us know how are you doing or if you have any concerns; it will really help to have the support.

:D thanks Lena, I had surgery on Thursday. Feeling ok. I seem to have gas in my chest that makes me really want to burg, but I cant. Its funny how I am still not hungery after three days. I am having a hard time getting all my Protein, although doing a little better today. I might hit 45 today.

I did slim 4 life awhile back and you can lose 3-5 lbs per week if you follow the plan. I have to go and find it. Its mostly protein, then veggies, then 2 servings of bread and 2 serving of fruit. I need to find it so that I can see if its possible getting that much food down. I will let you know if I find it.

Thanks for the encouragment. I still cant beleive I did it.:P

It seems like quite a few of the quick loss diets are protein based. I am doing the dukan diet, started yesterday - just protein. so far I'm okay with it as I have several different types of protein during the day and am really taking care to spice them up to keep it interesting. the gas you're experiencing will last for a while but eventually it does get better. the gas for me was beyond painful and after several gas medications i finally settled on maalox and that was the only one that worked for me (i ran out to 24 hr pharmacy to get it at 6 in the morning cuz i couldn't take the pain anymore). I will be going for a fill shortly as i am really giving it a 110% to get my weight off before the summer. If you have any concerns, please post or email me.:)
