I vary between 800 and 1200 calories and I try to get a min of 60 gms of protein in. When I get a fill, I am on full liquids for two days and I guess I swell a little after a fill becasue I feel kind of tight, so on those days, my calories might be 600. Then I do two days of soft food as I re-discover the foods that agree with my new level of restriction.
I see you found the November banders Spring Challenge. Glad you joined in.
You might want to also look for the group that was banded on Jan. '08 like you, because they will be at the same post -op phase as you are. I found it very helpful to have forum contact with those that are ahead of me and those that are in the same place.
