I seeking assistance, suggestions, instructions - any type of help I can get! I MUST be doing something wrong! I'm not loosing weight. I've changed so much with my eating habits, it's driving me carzy! For example, I now drink a Protein drink every morning (not eating food) I even add fruit to it. I haven't eating breakfast (food you chew) for a month now. I've been pushing protein at each meal to make sure I'm getting enough. I eat veggies and very little carbs. I'm drinking so much water I slosh! I'm wondering if I'm eating too much. I eat till I'm full, I don't snack between meals. For dinner I eat my protein, a veggie and maybe a fruit. I will have a snack around 9:00 - it's a low fat snack, jello, pudding, etc.

I've had three fills - I'm at 2-1/2 cc's in a 4 cc band! I don't really get hungry between breakfast and lunch - - lunch to dinner is tougher, I do get a little hungry, that's why I'm wondering if I'm eating too much. My protein size at dinner is about 3 to 4 ounces - along with my veggie(s), it about the same for lunch!

I have to admit, I have a problem with irregularity and have to take a laxative for assistance. :heh: I've now added Benefiber to my daily routine. I'm getting exercise- maybe not enough, but who does? So please help!!!! This is driving me crazy - - I can't figure it out. Is anyone else in the same boat I'm in - - - I feel like I'm up a creek floating along without a paddle!! Can someone throw me a life line???:help: :omg:

No one mentioned this, but according to the lap-band book I got..

It says... once you've graduated to solids, you're not suppose to be eating mushies or having liquids with calories.. it said those are wasted calories, because they will slide through too quickly.

Instead of pudding and smoothies, try eating something solid that fills you up and makes it so you don't have to snack so much

lauraj23, you are correct.. My info says the same thing....
