My nutritionist told me to have about 60 grams of protein but she wants me to go up to 80 grams. My aunt had this surgery and she also told me that she doesn't do well with meats. My band isn't filled yet so I can take in drinks pretty fast. I go back to the doctor on the 27th and possibly getting filled.
Thanks for your help

Hi, You will be as successful. I am curious how much protein your nutritionist wants you to eat? I always eat my protein first no matter what kind of protein it is. I do not eat white soft bread or rolls. I have found I do not do well with grilled red meats or grilled pork, even if I chew, chew, chew, to beat the band. Those food just do not sit well with me. The key is eat slower than you think you need too and drink just as slow. When your body heals you will be able to go a little faster as your body adjusts. I had lunch at a friends house yesterday. I am not telling anyone so I had to really concentrate on going slow. The hostess served Philly cheese steak. I did ok. I am here for you if you have any questions. Have a great day.

wow you've lost a lot of weight in 7 weeks! I hope I can do as well as you. I started to exercise and I go on the treadmill for about 30 mins, I can't do more yet i'm still in some pain. I went to the nutritionist today for the first time and she gave me a list of foods to eat. She also told me if I don't eat enough protein it will slow down my weight. I start eating solids on Monday so hopefully I can be as successful as you are

Hi, I do not own a scale. If I did I would be on it 24-7. I was told not to get my head in the numbers. I have over 100 pounds to loose. I have been weighed about 4 times once Post surgery Dr. visit. Weighed at two weeks, then at week 5 and now week 7. I have lost 48 pounds. Now that is GOOD!!! I do not know if some weeks I did not loose? I am just looking at it as one BIG SUCCESS picture. I made a decision that has changed my life. You will loose if you use the Band as a tool the way it is intended. Eat what and how much, you are supposed to, don't forget the water, and when you feel better start walking or exercise. I just know you will do well. I usually walk about 30 minutes. Keep me posted.

hey thanks for the comment on my blog. I'm going on to my 3rd week and this week I haven't lost anything, is that normal? Did you have any weeks that you didn't lose any?

Thanks for the comments :sad: I'm still on liquids and i'm so nervous that I am drinking to fast and i'm afraid I will stretch it out. I'm starting my 3rd week next week and my doctor told me I could start eating eggs in the morning or oatmeal, but I don't know what else I should be having like for lunch or dinner. Any suggestions?

Hey :sad: I'm 16 and i just had the band on the 29th. I'm not going to lie i was in a lot of pain i could barely walk. I couldn't even sleep in my bed i had to sleep on the couch which was horrible. They told me it would be nothing but wow it was the worst pain i've ever had. It's been almost 2 weeks since my surgery and i've lost 15 pounds already and i'm really not regretting it anymore lol. I hope you have a fast recovery and no pain at all after! I hope & wish you get the amazing results you want! Good luck.
