Hello everyone...so I am 2 months post op and I am down 50 lbs...it hasn't been easy, but it's definitely been worth it...can't wait to see more results as the time goes on...

I am 2 weeks post op and I am down 25 pounds my surgeon advanced me too soft food I am so excited....

It's possible u need more proteins... The more proteins & water/fluids the more u will lose...I started at 298.5 and I am at about 70-80g of protein a day and 2 weeks post op I had lost 25lbs...I also walked about a mile a day and did light weight upper body... I was instructed gym is good just no crunches...good luck and feel free to message me anytime...

Ur body is still healing so as Long as ur getting ur proteins you shouldn't be very concerned... Week 3/4 that's when u should start looking at a calorie #...but still protein is most important...60-80g...what kind of protein shakes are u doing..?

I'm on body fortress...it taste good and it's 52g of protein...and it taste like hot chocolate...u can get it at stater bros or Walgreens... When were u banded??

I agree the lapband site has a ton of good stuff....

I am 1 week post open today....and I have lost 21.5 lbs since 12/12..that included 2 days of liquid diet before surgery on 12/14... its definitely not easy however I know it is totally worth it... I finally found a protein shake I can drink and it has 52g protein in 8 oz...its not zero Carb but since I am not getting them anywhere else a little is OK...(8g)... a long road awaits me but I'm so ready for it...I feel good...!!!

Its called body fortress... it takes like hot cocoa but cold....it's not bad at all... its 52g per 8 oz and 8g of carbs...

Who did u get it done thru..what city do u live in??

No..well if u chug yes but not overall consumption...can I ask if u had this thru oband?

So I'm 6 days post op and I'm hungry all day... I'm still on a liquid diet....my protein shakes are doing nothing...soup only makes me hungrier...not to mention I'm still cooking for my husband and kids so I'm smelling & watching them enjoy food...and I'm miserable....

I want it and I want it bad...its just harder than ever...especially cause I'm home with my 1 year old all day so I'm used to eating what he eats...and the feeling of being hungry sucks...I get cranky.. and i swear these protein shakes are doing nothing for me...and they have 50g of protein per serving...

My patient advocate told me that's gonna happen just wait till the 3rd week to start mushies...it will get better... are u eating a full cup of food at a time?? R u eating 3 meals with two snacks a day??

Ya Idk its really weird...they are like so different....

I was told no cream anything for the. First two weeks... I'm not sure the reason.. but I was also told no breads or things like that ever and I see a lot of people eating breads and rice and stuff like that. So Idk I am a juicer so I juice my raw veggies and fruits...its so healthy and actually taste good so Idk maybe that was just geared toward me

Awesome we totally should...I actually found that the isopure juice shakes are so much better...they don't have a chaulky taste... but def where r u from??

I had the same things but I was not instructed to eat any cream of wheat... my diet is very simple protein shakes 3-4 times and a soup and a fresh veggie drink...but then again I juice so it might be different... I also am a stomach sleeper so I had to do the propping up in bed...although I have a 1 year old at home with me so I had been moving around ALOT since day 1... now only my port incision is a lil sore when I sneeze or cough...can move pretty normal... I also was afraid of eating well drinking too much but I was just informed to measure everything out and eat until you're full you don't have to eat it all but you don't want to eat too many that are less then a cup... Because in order to burn calories in lose the weight you need to intake of them.... I was banded on the 14th so I'm right there with u...good luck...

So I was banded on Dec 14...and I was on a liquid diet for 2 days prior...well when I started my liquid diet I was 298.5 and today I an 281 ..that is 17.5 lbs in a week... I was starting to feeling very down....but today's reading turned my thoughts and feelings around completely....

I am 3 days post op..was banded on 12-14...and I am trying to drink the protein shakes but they make me nauseated...soup broths I'm OK with...and I also juice veggies & fruits and I'm OK with those...but Idk what to do about the proteins I need from the shakes..

So I went and got the isopure apple melon...and it seems to be better...I think it was the flavor

I've also have tried baby sips...anyone have a flavor preference with the isopure zero??

I am using isopure..and I go to drink it and I'm instantly nausea...Idk if its the strawberry & cream flavor I'm using or what.
