at 6am i drank a protein shake, at 9am i had 1 egg at noon I had either a lunch/3oz of food, at 3pm i had either a protien shake or jello, at 6pm i ate my last and final meal, 3oz of meat or salad or something like that. and at 9 pm i had a protein shake in between the day i consumed 16oz of water every hour. I started the first tiem at 260 and made it down to 190. Now i started at 255 & im at 230

Whatever you do! SLOW DOWN! i generally pass out fast asleep when that would happen.

I will tell you this. If you follow the diet to a T and i mean to the letter. You can probably lose 3-5 lbs a week but you can not deviate from the menu. The first time i had the surgery i was super committed and I ate three times a day, and drank 150 oz of water a day. and i was on a 5 & 1 schedule

I had problems with my first band but i am willing to admit that most of them where self-inflicted. I learned how to get food in and then i would eat until i purged, to which i think that helped contribute to my slippage. but then again alot of people who were banded in 2007 had to be rebanded 4 years later.

hey StewsHunnyBunny, I hope all is well with your surgery! My band is going great so far but so easy to fall back into old habits. I am learning that this is definitely a mind of matter process. I hope my desire to be healthy will over weigh my desire to be FULL. How is your eating? I am a very picky eater and soft foods is killing me because i only eat mashed potatoes and green beans.
