La Gordita:

My doctor says 60 grams of protein or more a day. I wouldn't worry too much it took me several fills to get to the point of good restriction. When was your last fill and how much is currently in your band?

Nevermind Gordita I just saw your signature line. Give your fill some time because for me sometimes it will take a few days to kick in. If you're still not feeling the restriction then see about getting another fill. Hope this helps.

IM starving all the time UGH

Breakfast - 4 oz 60 calorie, no fat yogurt

Snack - Protein drink 30 grams protein

Lunch - 3-4 oz chicken breast

Snack - Protein drink 30 grams protein

Dinner - 1 Egg over medium with garlic salt

Im drinking over 200 oz of water a day.

I was just banded July 19th and have not had a fill yet so im hoping when i do i wont be so darned hungry all the time.

Adriana, It is not the amount of protein you take in to lose the wait, it is total calories & food choices,i.e. high protein,lowfat,low carbs. You are not losing weight because of food choices. Hotdogs& 7 layer dip... Instead eat lean meats like chicken.fish,turkey. Instead of Special K bar for 10gm protein ,eat Chobani youghurt 100 cal. &18 gm 0f protein. Stay away from the white bread.rice,etc. You will lose the weight.

Tracie,

Don't forget that "slider" food won't stay in your pouch as long. For Breakfast, have your eggs. (2 eggs and a bit of grated cheese is 4oz) or 1 egg and some meat (roast beef or chicken?) Put something your pouch has to work on in there....

Hmmmm I had not thought of that!!! Im gonna give it a try, thank you so much for your reply

Well, my day started off good then I just had to give into those craving!! :tongue2: More football practice running here and there.. So here goes... Wednesday-

B- 26g prot shot, 1 bottle water, meds & vitamins

L-1oz leftover steak, few bites broccoli & cheese< verytight!

Snacks- 3 small slim jims, handfull almonds, Powerade Zero

D-kid's size coke, Checker's chilidog w/o bun, kids cheeseburger w/o bun, most of a small fry (gave the rest to my son). This was a mistake, because I vomited after.. :thumbup:

Later- a granola bar at home...

Here's where I'm really ashamed.. I had to go out later.. Coming back I stopped and got some chocolate. I had myself a snickers and a reese's!! Oh my gosh I can't believe I did tHAT!! Before my band I was a binge eater.. Sometimes I actually still mourn the fact that I cant do that anymore.. I know its crazy! Cause I luv the new me!! I dont wanna go back to 405 pounds ever again!! Thats what scares the crap oughtta me!!Especially when I feel so out of control that I have to get food to make me feel better. Food has always been my drug of choice.. Wish the band could cure that!! I sure am glad this forum is here for me to vent.. I just need to be honest.. even when Im bad!! Thank God tomorrow is a new day!! :thumbup:
