Hello fellow bandsters! :D I Honestly Couldn't Be Happier With my decision to get the lap band!

Just wondering what you all eat daily. What do you find that fills you up the best and longest. How many calories do you consume on a regular basis?

How many pounds have you lost monthly? Just wanting to see where I stand. I realize everyone is different. Just want to compare.

Also what exercise are you doing? How often do you do It?

I look forward to read what everyone has to say. Thank everyone! :206_cat: !!

Hi KellyCats, honestly I've been able to eat just about anything as long as I take my time, eat the proper portions, and take the right size bites. Mostly I focus on Proteins, veggies, and lemon Water.

The nutritionist told me to try and stay around 1200 calories a day. Some days that's what I do, some days it less, some a little more.
As for exercise I do treadmill, bike, weights, basketball with the kids, swim, etc. It is so nice to have lost the weight and be able to do all these things.
Hope you have all the success in the world!

KellyCats, I can not eat bread, of any kind, it gets stuck, I can drink anything, eat chicken, steak and pork. I can have salads as well. I can not eat bananas or grapes. Protein keeps me satisfied the longest, It is a learning process, I am still learning and test my band all the time. I started with walking and have now incorporated swimming, I felt very frustrated my first few months but I kept at it. I hope to loose another 65 pounds to be at my goal weight.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
