Post Op Diet

Banded on june 28th and have not had the success I thought I should by this time. I am not eating sweets or junk. My calorie consumption is way down. My question is what have your drs and nutritionist said about your diet? My diet is pretty open and probably not specific enough for me! I also know I can eat more at a sitting than I should be able to. Thoughts?

What are you eating? Are your expectations too high? Are you getting the reccomended Protein and Water? My surgeon pushes low carb which is best for me... I have always been most successful on Atkins so that is what I am doing. I am only in mushie phase but am not eating some things other are like oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding, etc bc it is not low carb. But that is just what works for me. Are you logging your food... this is a HUGE help for me so I know exacltly what I am getting each day and requires me to measure my food. Might try tracking your food and showing the nutritionist in your surgeon's office for advice. Don't lose faith... its a marathon not a sprint....
