I don't know what the dr. told you but since I haven't had a fill yet, I was told 1/4 cup to 1 cup per meal.. Meals are 3 times a day, with two Protein shakes.

I've been having 1/2 cup per meal, Breakfast is just a scrambled egg..

I try and having something every two hours, so I start the day with Decaf tea, then at 10 I have Breakfast, 12 Protein shake, then 2 lunch, 4 Protein Shake and 6 dinner.. All the rest of the times I drink keeping in mind the 30/30 rule.. It's worked for me.. I always try and do 1/4 cup Protein with 1/4 cup veggies per meal except breakfast..

I was banded on the 8th of Feb 12.. From day of sugery I have lost 25 lbs, from my heaviest I have lost 39 lbs.. I stuck right now, but I'm sure that is only temp.. I lost a lot fast and I think now my body is going into the normal mode, which I believe is only 1/2 lb to 1 lb per week, but we will see..

Congrats on your success Hedder! That's awesome. I have not yet started to exercise.... I'm sure once I get started and get my 1st fill the pounds should begin to disappear quicker!!

I know Xavier.. It's just that I'm reading 20, 25, 30 pounds lost in the 1st month of many other bandsters.....

I started with a low BMI of 31, so i didn't have to do a preop diet.

My doctor said to weigh solid Protein to 3 oz. For lunch I would go to 3 oz and make up the rest of your lunch with low fat veggies.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
