Hi!!

I was banded on 11/14/05!

So excited, alittle nervous still, as of 11/22/05 i lost 15 pounds seems like alot to start,exstatic but is that the norm? If anyone has some good input on what to eat to keep Protein intake up and just general info about best food choices. I know I'm early in the game but i'm nervous about amount and type of food to eat because i dont want to break anything. Any and all imput apprieciated!

When I was at the 2 week stage I was going into the mushy stage, but every doctor has different rules. I'm sure your doctor gave your some guide lines as well. Also check out the food section on LBT, you'll fine tons of wonderful ideas.

Good luck and welcome to LBT

congrats! I was on liquids for a week-then mushy foods for 2 weeks after that-mushies was one of the toughest stages since you find yourself having to eat baby foods-yuck! LOL. but its alllllll worth it! You sound like your doing amazing too! I lost 20 lbs in my 1st 2 weeks. Make sure to keep drinking your Protein drinks-baby food with chicken/meat in it just ISNT good-try to stick with druits/veggie blends if your doing the whole baby food/puree thing. Once you get to the solid food stage and know your boundries of what you can & cant eat-I abolutely LOVE "Protein Plus" Bars in Peanut Butter. It has 24 grams of protein and tastes supper good-especially for a protein bar! Its soft enough too so it wont take you all day to eat it.

Well,thats my advice=-) good luck and congrats again! Make sure you get new clothes every one & a while to-its a great ego boost,and a nice gift to youself!
