Good plan, do what it takes and make sure you're getting your protein in with those 1000-1200 calories.

I would perhaps do protein shakes to keep up your protein or you might become anemic. Speak with your doctor before doing anything that radical.

Best of luck.

Good luck..you are almost there! I agree with the others about getting enough protein. I found these protein shots at Sam's club that are 32 grams of protein and about 150 (or close to it) calories. When I have a day that is difficult to get enough protein, I drink one of these. It is already a little over half of the protein that I need.

I research a lot of different thing about having a band, and I determine what works best for me. You have lost a lot of weight and the rest will come in time. My doctor always reminds me that the weight did not come over night and it's not going to leave over night. I think -overall you are doing a great job.<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://www.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif"> </SPAN></P>
