Needing to know is it bad to only have 2 protein smoothies, one for breakfast, and one for dinner. I'll have a grilled chicken salad for lunch.

Are you on your pre-op diet, or is this all you've been able to eat today? Protein drinks are really healthy and the meal you've chosen sounds right on, to me.

No.. Not pre opt, and I could eat more but I am choosing not to. I get a little hungry, I'll just have a sugar free jello or Popsicle. My smoothies are packed with spinach, protein powder, flax seed, and frozen tropical fruits.

It's not how the band was intended to work. smoothies are slider foods so you will feel hungry sooner than if you ate solid Protein. Make sure you're taking all your Vitamins if you continue to eat this way.

The band's purpose is to allow you to eat normal foods but much less volume. Slider foods simply flow through the band and are digested which can leave you hungry or less satisfied. jmo

The problem with eating solid protein is I will over eat. I would rather have my smoothie because I am not hungry again until 4-5 hours later. By then it's time for my lunch.

I will talk to my Lapland dr on my next appt.
