tpierce98664 replied to aligirrl77's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
HI, My doctor is a little different. He says if I do not have 70+ grams of Protein per day every day my weight lost will stall. So far I have followed orders and I've been loosing about a pound a day. 29 lbs since banded on 2/3. He says (dr.) protein keeps us with a full feeling and our bodies won't go into starvation mode. -

I for one am not dumb. I have however asked alot of questions (some might consider "dumb") and to those of you whom answered..Thanks for your support....What I might consider "lazy" is the excess pounds I packed on over the years...which by the way took NO research at all. -

Jack, Thank You for your response! I was wondering what the heck was going on...I've stalled..I started at 225 on 2/2/06 (day of surgery)and today 2/26/06 202...I started with a bang but now I can't seem to break the 200 mark.I keep up-ing my Protein and I do not have over 400 cal.a day.I'm starting to get discouraged. What you have stated makes sense..Thank You!!!

Kelli, WOW! I'm stunned our DR. would say that. What was he thinking??My weight lost has slowed ...Kristi(nutritionst) says not enough Protein...she also said normal lost should be about 3-5 lbs a week. 8 lbs is good!! Tina
