Limu and lapband
had lapband 6 weeks ago, from preop to present I have lost 36 lbs . Only had one adjustment but seems like I am eating more then I should. Am I expecting to much? I mean I am not overeating just thought I would be more restricted .. Also a friend introduced me to Limu .. Has any bandsters tried Limu ? Thanks!
I didn't have my first adjustment until I was 6 weeks out from surgery. It took about 3 adjustments (from what I remember) to feel restriction. It seems like you are doing great... 36 lbs down is awesome! Give it time, and follow the rules. :)
I have not heard of Limu. Looking at the protein powder, it is pretty high in calories for only 20g of protein. I personally would not use it. I use Isopure Zero Carb protein powder.
The looser you can keep your band the better off you will be down the road. Having it too tight causes no end of problems. As for the limu I agree with the OP that it is a very small amount of protein for that many calories and carb wise it is very high. I could never use it because if has 30ish grams of carbs and I only eat 20 grams in a whole day so it wouldn't work for me.
