Hello msjustified'
My name is lovinglife, I was banded on the 19th of Oct and still on liquids, I must admit I really didn't get a lot of guidance from my doc, basically she wanted me to be on full liquids for FOUR week...so far I'm down 22.5 lbs but I really don't drink anything...I only get roughly 250 cals a day! Are you still losing weight doing the purees? I think thats my problem if I start eating I may start to regain...
Hi fellow bandsters,
I was banded on Oct 20. I am in my second day of pureed foods. I wondering wether I am getting enough calories in (see my menu from yesterday). I only hit 375 calories. I also was only able to get 1 17 oz bottle of Water down. It is not that I am hungry, but I don't think it is healthy with that little amount of calories. I don't want my body to go into starvation mode. I have lost 26 pounds in 3 weeks (17 of it was during pre surgery liquid diet) . How many calories are you all getting in at this stage?

3 oz pureed egg salad with ff miracle whip 150 cal 12 Protein
lunch
2.5 oz pureed tuna with FF miracle whip 50 cal 13 protein
