what I am doing wrong with my DS

Irishnurse,

Like you I was in starvation mode as a bandster as well, I eat poorly with the band; I just do not want the same thing to happen again.  I am going to try the advises I received on here and see how it goes.

Great information and support everyone 

Thank you all for the information and support, I am going to try a high fat, low carb high protein.  I use Myfitnesspal to track my food and exercise I will focus on 50 or less grams of carb a day and increase my protein to 100 to 150 grams a day.

Again thank you all for the great advise

I wouldn't try and force the high fat issue this early.  For me - I naturally bought everything low fat based on all my diet experiences before the operation. If your like that - the first step is to start buying things that are not low-fat. I had a hard time getting used to that. Good luck - sounds like you are doing pretty well.
