Hi

I have been reading this blog for a while now and let me tell you,I am learning something new from each and everyone.I was banded on Oct. 25,2010.I had a two week pre op diet and lost 20 lbs.Since the lap band I have lost only 6 and have stayed the same weight for several days.Is this normal?I also wonder about your diet afterwards.I was able to eat part of a chicken breast four days after my surgery as long as I chewed like I was Supposed to.My doctor allowed this.I am wondering why our diets are so different?I went two days on liquids and one on soft,then I went right on to solids.I have had no Problems.Has anyone else been on a diet like mine?

Yes your not alone. Everyone diet's a little different. Eat meat high in protein: fish, chicken, beef, etc. Chew them up. I had to eat beef by cutting it up with scissors into smaller bite sizes, it works. Follow the lap band diet, liquids, mushies, and solids. And if you find yourself running astray, go back to this diet plan, it keeps me on track. I have even tested my band to the limit on purpose, yes it works. Stay positive and be patient--you will loose the #s.

We all reach a plateau, before you know it you will be losing again. Hang in there. I always go back to the basic once a week. it did not kill me the 1st time around and help keep me on track. All the best to you.

I was banded on the 25th also, and I have lost 6 pounds. I have been eating anything that I can mash with a fork so to speak. I try to make sure that its protein. I just figure as long as I am not gaining weight that I am doing good :cursing:

I was banded on 10/28. I lost 10lbs quickly and that's it so far. I am eating less and trying to follow a protien diet. No carbs. I started exercising this week to see if that helps. If it doesnt I am stopping those protien shakes for breakfast. I really don't feel like I am eating to much or cheating. I don't really have restriction yet. I am a little dissappointed that I have not lost more weight.
