Do I Need another Fill?

[HoneeCoco 3]

I had my first fill on 7/3/13. I went to Jamaica for a week, 7/21/13 thru 7/28/13. I did not gain or lose weight. I ate almost within the guidelines. After my fill, I am starving most of the time, 4 ozunces just does not seem to do it. Thanks to support groups like this, is how I obtain information. How do you get in the required daily Protein requirement? Should you still drink a Protein Shake? I was banded on 5/24/13 and have lost 45 pounds. I practice eating slowly and notice I do not get heartburn as much. I found out if i drink at least 64 ozunces of Water it sometimes help with the hunger. Prior to surgery, I was taking insulin 4 times a day and oral medication. Now I take one dose of long acting medication and oral medication. sometimes i experience hypo-glycemic episodes. I planning to call my surgeon's office today. I do not have any idea how much is in my band. I have started to impiement an exercise program. I do have more energy. I appreciaate any thoughts or advice. I am so thankful/grateful for this site. My grand-children are happy,their grandmother can do things with them.

You should be getting 70 to 90 grams of Protein in every day. If you need to drink Protein shakes then do so but I would rather eat my calories then drink them. Just my opinion. You would be surprised things that are high in Protein besides meat.

Yes, try to get your Proteins from natural sources and if you need, use shakes. I do shakes for Breakfast a lot. You'll stay fuller and crave less with more Protein and less carbs
