Hi Nicole,

Do you still have your post op surgery info that the surgeon gave you after your lap band surgery?  Can you make an appt with the Nutritionist with the group? 
There are daily posts on what people are eating each day, you could look for those.  As far as what to eat....   I usually have a greek yogurt for breakfast or a cheesestick.  Lunch is 3 oz of dense protein & 1/4 c of veggie or fruit.  Dinner could be the same amounts.  I also have a snack if I get hungry.  I try to get 60-70 grams of protein. Drink at least 64oz of water.  Exercise 1 hour / 5x's a week at least.
I find that if I journal, I do better with my weight loss.
