I got my band loosen a month ago and i have been eating everything that can go down like bread, meat etc. i feel i am weak but that was the only way i can get the protien i needed in .

Hey sweetie...1st of all you are not weak. You can get protien in other ways like protien drinks. I drink Atkins Cafe Caramel (love it ) 15 grams of protien. Other foods that are packed with Protien and low in Carbs are peanuts and Tune. Please keep me posted you are not alone thats what this group is for

you are not weak, just need some advice on other ways of getting in protein.. like amanda said have you tried protein shakes. i just got some protein liquid shots as i am tryn to increase my protein intake..as most solid proteins like chicken or steak i cant tolerate. tuna is a good option to.

Hi,

I had to have my band loosened, the fluid removed last Fall. I was awakened by fluid in my ears and nose. Once the Doc removed the excess fluid, I did begin to eat more. But, glad I could. Bread has neglibile protein. If you can eat more, ask yourself, how is this beneficial to me? I lift weights, bench press and kette bells. The ability to build muscle mass was a welcomed one. How is your hair? Are you planning to have plastic surgery? All these issues require an increase in protein consumption.
