Are you getting in your 60 - 80 grams of Protein in a day?

I also was banded on 3/15/11 and only lost 15lbs...I know its discouraging. I quit smoking before surgury and my last day of the patch was the day after surgury - so wondering if that is the reason. I dont eat much but dont lose much.

I was banded on 3/8/11. I am down 72 lbs and am 9 lbs from wonderland. I would love to be able to talk on Facebook with you. Please let me know if I can join and how to join on facebook. I still cant believe this is working. I am in amazement. I had tried to loose weight so ofter and usually only gained weight. I would love to be able to talk to someone that knows what I am going through. At times this is really tough.

My name is Jan Tiefenthaler on facebook. Please friend me so I can be in the group.

Hey March Bandsters!! I was banded 3/4/11. I lost 30 pre-op and 72 since surgery, for a total of 102!! I am 14 lbs from my goal, which may be readjusted as I get closer we'll see. I just picked the top weight for my height and frame. I have never been this weight except for when I was in junior high. Crazy.

I've been going broke replacing my wardrobe but it's a fun/good problem to have!!!

I had my first fill at my 6 month appt this month, that was kind of a nice refresher on speed of eating and what to eat.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to see how everyone is doing after a year!!! It has been a year of highs and lows for me! I know now that exercise has to be a daily part of my life because I have the slowest metabolism in the world. I also realized that I cannot lose if I drink any alcohol!!! I maintained my weight loss when I exercised but it seemed when the weekends came I couldn't loose!!! DUH!!! Well since I cut that out and changed my exercise a little (I stopped the YMCA and joined curves and do zumba) I am losing again! It's slow but I am doing it!

I hope everyone else is doing well, good luck!

Hey everyone....been a long time, just needed to see how everyone is doing. It has been a year and I have lost 100 lbs (see pic below). I wear a very loose 34 inch waist, I go to boot camp 5-6 days a week and have never felt and looked this good. It is very hard at times to be good and have slipped up quite a few times along the way. But...I just go back to the basics and remember why I did this in the 1st place. I wish everyone else much success!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
