Lap Band Rules

Sunshyne068

With so many things to think about on this lap band journey, I feel like I've forgotten some of the rules that could be leading me to more weight loss. One commenter on my last post brought it to my attention that I need to make sure I get my daily protein amount in ... a rule I forgot about.

 

And it makes me wonder, what other rules am I neglecting?

1. eat only 1 cup of food

2. eat all of your protein first, then veggies, then carbs

3. don't drink with your meals

4. get in your required XX grams of protein per day

5. take your multi vitamin supplments

6. dont eat within 2 hours of laying down

 

All of these rules Ive totally disregarded at one point or another, on multiple occasions and with some frequency.

 

Well for the past 3 days I've met my protein requirement. I got a fill on Thursday and I'm down 3 lbs ... I guess they really do tell us all of this stuff for a reason.

I'm only 4 days post-op and copied the rules you wrote. I want to be successful and so will post these rules everywhere in my house. Skinny is what I want to be. Thank you. Francine

Francine welcome to your journey!!!! Yes these are a (not all inclusive list) of rules that we need to follow to be successful with this tool. If you dont follow them (like I havent been) then you wont see as much success as others. Im beating myself up about it now, as I'm over a year out and Ive wasted so much time.
