Hi,
I had to have my band loosened, the fluid removed last Fall. I was awakened by fluid in my ears and nose. Once the Doc removed the excess fluid, I did begin to eat more. But, glad I could. Bread has neglibile protein. If you can eat more, ask yourself, how is this beneficial to me? I lift weights, bench press and kette bells. The ability to build muscle mass was a welcomed one. How is your hair? Are you planning to have plastic surgery? All these issues require an increase in protein consumption.
