Ok.. Here goes I was banded in Nov 2011. My weight loss has stalled. I recently doubled my injury protein shakes to 2 a day and have started to lose again... FINALLY. My doc who did my surgery and the doc I am seeing now in another state have different thoughts on the amy of carbs and calories I should have daily. Please share with me your daily calorie/carb consumption. Help needed.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day. I eat at least 60g grams of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat. I don't buy white rice, bread or Pasta. Only whole grain and brown rice, and if the label says "bleached" or "enriched" I don't buy it.

For me, this is the formula that works. Everyone is different so we all have to find what works best for us.

Ms73, Can you tell me an avg days food intake using those specs? I'm having difficulty finding a healthy balance of band friendly foods. Thanks!
