It can take a while for the band to get into the "sweet spot". That means just the right fill to help you eat what you need without being to tight so you dont get sick. The AVERAGE takes 3-5 fills. 20lbs in a few weeks is awesome! You are doing great!
In the beginning I would eat
Kashi go lean cereal 1/2 cup some milk or a protein shake. But remember liquids dont stay in the small tummy long for us so you may get a hungery faster...
Lunch was tuna, mayo and I had it on either crackers, or on a cucumber for crunch. Watch serving sizes on the crackers.
Dinner was meat of some sort, 3-4oz, then a veggie or fruit, and then if you have room a little bit of carbs. I never had room for the carbs...but thats just me. now that I have put a few more back into my diet the weight is slower, but still coming off...
Try to eat about 1200 cals a day, and make sure to get your protein!!!
