Protein Shakes/Bars which is the best kind?

I am down 14 lbs. and have been eating Adkins products, bars and shakes… Does anyone have any better alternatives? The morning Breakfast bar is still making me sleepy after i eat it about an hour of breakfast. I do not get sleepy if i just drink the shakes- but its not enough to fill me up. What does anyone think? I am 7 weeks post op. Had one fill last week so far. I have taken your comments to heart because Success is learned and taught. It does not just happen! - catina )

GRUUUMPY...

Its been 6 weeks since being banded… and I am moody, and grumpy.. More so than before. I was hungry all the time before I even got the lap band, and found myself binge eating because I would wait until I was totally starving… Now I really try to have 3 meals a day.. And sometimes a high protein snack. But old habits are hard to beat… I crave chips, burgers, pizza and chocolate.. cheese, umm everything that made me fat in the first place.. I hope those cravings go away…because i can eat them with the band.. but they do not satisfy me.. and i end up eating as much as I did before the band. Then im so full i feel ill. So i really have to find the food that works with the band. Why does the food not fill me up?

Why does eating wrong food defeat the purpose of a first fill?

I had my first fill, and was told 24 of liquid, 24 of blended, and 24 soft, and back to the normal diet. I went back to eating normally maybe too soon. Does this ruin the fill.. And why does it ruin it? I mean if its filled its filled. I ate eggs and a protein shake. instead of blended food… i am hungry all the time BTW

Weight loss and ME

Its been 5 weeks post op.. I have lost 14 lbs, and gained 7 back. I don't know where to put that weight ticker thing…. on here. I suppose I will put it on her later. I am getting frusterated. I have gained 7 lbs. and Went in for my first fill. I have been hungry all the time. 3 weeks after surgery it started to happen. Now I am one day fill, and still hungry. If I wanted to diet and starve i think I could have done that without dropping $18,000. This band is supposed to restrict food intake and give me a satisfied feeling. I did at first.. now I am feeling just like I did before I even had it. When it was put in, it was empty. I mean a fancy diet of liquids and shakes and mushed up food … i could have lost weight without the band if I wanted to go that route. I got the band because I wanted a long term solution for a never ending hunger. I eat protein and I am hungry 3 hours later. I am not an emotional eater, I do love the taste of food. So restricting the food i love would be a great way to lose the weight that Is slowly killing me. I am just frusterated… i think it should get better. I was told that It takes a few days for me to feel the tightning of the band.. wierd. i think it should be immediate. Oh and I got this weight tracker thing… and cant figure out how to have it by my name when i comment on blogs.. so i guess i will try it on here… later when i figure it out
