It happens to us all but remember the first 6mos will be your chance to lose ur most weight after that trust me it gets harder and its very easy to gain the weight back ( i know that as well) keep handly low cal protein shakes thicken them up with fruit in the blender, Greek Yogurt w/ granola & fruit or Turkey Jerky. Try hard to follow your doctors rules to Lapband Success. You can do this. Its all in the mind. I'm back in 99% lol. and its a daily hourly struggle.

not using....eating. Sorry

Well It depends on what type of solid foods your using. If you are eating lean protein( not fried) ,fruits and veggies you shouldn't gain. The gain didn't happen to me but I did like maintain couple days after. Maybe our bodies has to adapt to the change. Who knows?

Last week was a great week..from Sunday to Monday today- I have dropped 10.5 lbs and even though some of that was fluid I'm sure its a lost and I feel great. This week I will be increasing my water intake and my workouts. I did have some low calorie days thats not good so I will make sure I get betwween 950-1000 calories daily and of course over 65 grams of protein. This morning has already started of stressful w/ a student fight and my daugher not following directions at her school... I am not going to let it make me emotionally eat. I will pray and be good spirted. I will stick to my meal plan and have the best day ever. My Meal Plan for the week AM- Coffee w/ cream n sugar (3 tsp) Brkft- 1 boiled egg, 2 Turkey Sausage, sugarfree jam.

PM snack- Protein Smoothie: pic below ( sugarfree hawaiian punch/berrylime, spir-u-tein protein in raspberry royale,4oz JW K: Just Pomegranate juice, ice, 4oz water blended until smooth) Dinner- Tilapia ( not deep fried) pan sauteed w/ extra virgin oil, season any except salt) OR protein can be chicken drummlettes up to 8 lightly pan fried in the EVOO like w/ the Tilapia , do that till brown on both sides and put in oven at 400 for extra 20mins. drain the oil and put the sauce of choice ( love parmesan galic or asian zing for buffalo wild wing) add 1/4 cup Veggie except corn to high in sugar, and 1/4 complex carb...like Red skin potato or yam. NO,,white food, pasta, rice or breads.....and a treat if I have to have sweet( I go with the Weight Watchers Dessert under 200calories. * trying not to wait pass 4hrs to eat or snack and to stop eating before 8pm.* Remembering to follow the lapband rules---- NO eating and drinking together. Drink 30mins before and 45 mins after a meal. Exercise 30-60 mins daily.Eat small plates. Drink 65oz or more water day. Have over 65 g of protein a day.

OK !!!! My super energizer smoothie. Ingredients: 1/4c low fat milk 1/4c pomogranate juice ( can do w/o if you don't like pomogranates) 1 single folgers pack- make the coffee using 4oz water 1 single hawaiian sugarfree punch single (berry lime) my flavor 1 pack or scoop of whey protein in Spiru-tein (Raspberry Royal ) Directions: Make the folgers coffee first Then basically pour the coffee & other ingrediants in the blender with as much Ice as you desire and blend till smooth. in the pic after I tasted the smoothie w/o the pomogranate juice it wasn't sweet enough for me so I added it in.
