Maybe I'm not doing this right...lol,but today I had three solid meals. They were each right at or under 4 oz. each,BUT they only total to around 584 calories and I'm only at 44 grams of protien. Should my meals be bigger? should I add a meal? Do you all add a protien shake when you are shy on protien?

3 weeks after banding (eating?)
AlaskaGirl77 replied to casino2595's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is the same almost like Saraes,but I started regular solids a few days ago...i'm on regular foods (Surgery date May 26,09) and they are going down fine. Haven't done steak,pork yet. Chicken and fish are great and even made some whole wheat pasta salad for a BBQ last night and after 2 oz. of chicken and 1/4 cup salad I was full the rest of the night! Have fun in Vegas! -
I had wine lastnight (I'm 3 weeks post op) per MY dr.s instructions...I was really tight and it did the trick loosening me up...best advice: Do as your Dr. orders...

Alcohol and banding
AlaskaGirl77 replied to homecare's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not a big drinker,but have had my fair share...they knew i had a fatty liver (via my abdominal ultrasound) so maybe they will be able to tell of any damage then... -
I haven't even had my first fill yet and I feel like that...just all of a sudden (today) I can barely get food down..no PB or sliming or nasua...just like it's pressure to swallow and feel as if it's just kinda getting to full to quick....hmmm...

First Fill Experiences For The Mayo BANDitos
AlaskaGirl77 replied to John337's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My 1st fill will be 7 weeks out from my surgery as well. Not looking forward to the fill part being I have to fly (40 mins) to my doc. each time. I have still been loosing about a pound every two days and not sure what restriction feels like,but i'm full for about 3 to 4 hours after a 1/2 cup meal... -
I chuckled when i read that thinking "Wow! is 31 really concidered 'old'?!" lol
-
So I am eating my first solid meal. Not sure if I'm doing this right... I toasted a piece of pumpernickle bread,spread 1 tsp. of light mayo,1 oz of roast beef (deli) (folded it up to make a sandwhich) and three cantoloupe balls... it's going down just fine and tastes so gooood! lol...weight wise it added up on the scale to a little over 3 oz. is this the way I'm supposed to measure the 2-4 oz of food? just weigh it on the food scale?
-
My surgeon said yes. They put it in after i was knocked out and it was out before i woke up..didn't even know it was there...he said if you urinate during surgery it makes the table 'unsterille' and that's not the goal..

What food stage are you at? What are you eating?
AlaskaGirl77 replied to Carriedaway78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
THank you for your post! Hubby just caught over 100 lbs of halibut two days after my surgery. I've done tuna just fine,but havn't tried halibut yet (post op,pre op i could lve off of it!) lol...I think I'm afraid of finding out what works and doesn't because I haven't had anyh PB/sliming or anything stuck yet...just the fear of the unknown...what portion sizes did u start with? still the 2-4 oz? -

AlaskaGirl77 replied to Carriedaway78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
According to my paper work,I start solids tomorrow...IKES! I've been fine on mushies/chunky mushies and still loosing aabout a pound everyother day,so afraid to jinx it. I guess it's cool that i get more of a selection,but starting solids isn't something I'm looking forward to... -
I have been on purees/mushies since about 4 days post op and I'm so done with them! lol...But I'm still loosing on them. Down 4 pounds this week. Still having 2 protien shakes a day and 3 meals of 1/4-1/2 cup a food a day. Sometimes I only get 2 meals in. And i have to force those...I'm just NOT hungry anymore.:thumbdown:

3/4 cup at one meal?? Does your doc allow that? Mine has me at 2-4 oz(1/4 to 1/2 cup) 3x a day...maybe make your meals a lil smaller and it may feel a lil better...
