Can anyone tell me where to get greek yogurt? I have never heard of it. Thanks!!

Hi! My name is Amy. I was banded on 11/25/08. Since my pre-op diet, I have lost 20 lbs. Unfortunately, once I started on "real" foods I must be getting carried away because I am gaining. I can't get my first fill for 2 weeks and I heard that I won't feel any difference until about 4 fills. I can't afford to gain weight until the fills kick in. Please help. What should I be eating daily?? Maybe I am not eating properly. I would hate to have to go back to Protein shakes for months. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Thank you for the advice. I have just been so frustrated lately. I appreciate it!

Thank you all for your kind words and advice. None of my friends have been banded (actually I don't think any of them even diet...gotta hate skinny people :wink2:) I don't have anyone to talk to that completely understands my thoughts. It is nice to have others to share with. I am glad to know that I am "normal." Have a good night!

Hi all! My name is Amy and this is my 1st post. I was banded on 11/25/08 in Dallas, TX. I started this process at 213 lbs. I lost 10 pounds pre-op and at my appointment last week, I was 191. I was very proud of myself and then I got on the scale for the last few days and I was up! To be honest, I have been eating more over the last week. Since I have been banded, I have had had zero problems with food, which is good, but I am afraid of getting back into my old habits that caused me to get this in the 1st place. I feel like I don't have any restriction. I can't get in for my 1st fill until 1/12/09 and I am worried about gaining weight until then. I have been journaling what I am eating and trying to get as much protein as possible. How many carbs should I have each day? Any meal plan ideas? I just ordered 2 weight loss surgery cookbooks online, so I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I am just getting frustrated and would hate to think that I paid 12500 to loose 20 lbs. Any advice would be appreciated. Happy New Year!!
