Topic: RE: How are you doing on weight loss?
Amanda,
I didn't have Lap band but I am thinking that the weight loss is similar to RNY. I have read that if you don't get your protein and liquids in that you will not loose as much weight. I too thought that I hadn't lost enough weight, but then I took my measurements and was surprised to see that I had lost more inches then I realized.
Remember this is just a tool and we have to do our part by eating right and getting plenty of exercise.
Good luck it will happen, just make smart choices!!

Topic: RE: Protein Bars
I got desperate for protein...so i started mine about a week ago. ( i had Lap RNY on Jan. 19Th)
Its called "ProtienBar" (23grams of protein) and i get the vanilla yogurt one. I ate them b4 surgery and that's about the only thing that has not changed flavor for me. I DID NOT ask if i could start eating them I am suppose to be on purred food still. It takes me a while to eat it. Sometimes i eat 1/2 and then a few hours later ill eat the rest.
Just make sure you CHEW CHEW CHEW.
Take LITTLE bites!!!

Hi
I saw my surgeon in SEPT. I was 307.
Today I weighed and i am 257.
My Lap RNY was Jan 19Th.
I think i was 275 the day of surgery.
So since surgery i have lost 18lbs.
I don't think its coming off fast enough. I am
so concerned that I'm doing something wrong.
My nurtionest said to be patient.
I'm having a hard time getting in enough protein and all my fluids.
I have started walking a little bit and went back to work 3 weeks after surgery.
(wayyyyyyy to soon)
I'm so depressed. I didn't think this was going to be so hard.
I honestly thought id get up in the AM and be 5 pounds lighter daily!!
No such luck.

hope all is well,
Lisa
