I was banded 9/11/ and since i moved to the mushie stage i eat something around lunch time and i dont eat anything else the rest of the day is this a good thing i do drink off and on all day . just wondering if i need to try and eat more or just enjoy it for know it is usually about a half cup of whatever i eat.

Make sure you are getting the Protein you need and are not dehydrating. If you are unable to eat because you are full atleast drink some Protein Drink. You probably still have some swelling from surgery. When that goes down you will be able to eat and drink more. Good luck and congratulations!

If you are concerned a out protein I would throw in a protein shake for dinner. Just try to get enough protein.

If you are only going to eat once a day you definitely have to supplement with protein drinks or shakes. I use Dymatize Elite Cafe Mocha protein powder with 8 oz of milk and throw in some ice and blend. I have that every morning and I REALLY like it. I also drink Isopure protein drinks (clear) which come in about 8 flavors and served over ice are VERY good, and you can also cut them with a little water if they seem a little sweet for you. You need to be getting in about 60 gm of protein a day.
