I just did the Lapband on December 1, 2011. I lost 22lbs since the surgery. I'm so excited about losing. It's like I'm scared to eat or drink anything because I don't know how much my body will allow me to handle. So, so far I am only consuming maybe 2oz of liquids(water,or sugar free no cal. drinks) and only able to get about 60g of Protein in. It's hard to get protein that is required (70g). Also, drinking the amount of Water that is required. I'm ready to exercise!!. What is a good technique to get protein and water all in one day. Please advise me someone!!!!!!!!!! sad.png

Congrats on the banding...I will be getting banded soon... A few of my banded friends use Kellogg's K20 Protein Water....They love it. So it helps you get your protein and your liquids in. It just might work for you...Here is the link that explains it more in details....Keep up the great work!

Congratulations! That's more than a pound a day...holy crap!

I haven't been banded yet either, but I have a question...only 2 oz of Water a day? I'd asked about that at my doc's office, actually, because here in Texas it's pretty important to stay hydrated in the summer. They told me water passes right through the band.

I guess maybe that's something that happens after recovery from surgery, etc? I hope! LOL

I was just Banded on December 1, 2011.

I'm 5'9 (tall I know) Surgery I was 236.6 and today Im 223.3.

My first 2 weeks was all liquids

2-3 Protein Shakes a day (8oz bot of BOOST)

Jello, ice pops and chicken Broth

Im now just into 3 weeks and starting on my soft foods.

this is my day . Hopefully it helps

I eat every 3hrs on the nose. I actually set the alarm on my ipod to go off every 3 hrs just to remind myself to eat.. because im not hungry at all.

Breakfast : 1/4 cup oatmeal splash of milk (cooked in water)

Snack: Protein Shake 8oz of 1% milk and 1 scoop Protein (I purchased my protein from Walmart )

Lunch : 1/4 cup cottage Cheese

Snack : protein shake

Dinner : 1/2 red skin potato (add 1 teaspoon sour cream)

snack protein shake..

This is just a sample of what I do. I have other meal options.

I still see my nutritionist and she sets a menu up for me and I just follow it. Then it will switch again in February when I go to more solid foods.
