I need advise on the proper foods to eat i am so confused, i have pretty much living on eggs and fish. I am getting bored with those things. LOL

Aw, don't worry! It WILL come off, I swear! 17 pounds in a month is really great! I second several of the things Mumsy said -- eat more! Drink more! Exercise more (if you're feeling up to it). Sometimes we have this surgery and we think, ok, that's it, no more food ever again! But that's not true. It is very important to keep your nutrition intake up at healthy levels to the best of your ability.
I'm so glad you found this Forum. Take some time and search around in like the Nutrition and Post-Op sections. There are many great food ideas on this Forum. Have you tried eating beans? Chili? Cheese? Frigo Light Mozzarella sticks are a favorite around here. What protein supplement are you using? If you've tried a few and not liked them, don't despair -- there are many, many different kinds. I love Unjury chocolate and have a scoop every night mixed in General Mills International Sugar Free coffee drink flavors.
Most of all, please don't compare your numbers to anyone else. Everyone is different, and that's a cliche for a reason 'cause it's so true. Especially don't look at the guy's numbers -- they suck with their superfast metabolisms and their dropping 100 pounds in 3 months or whatever.
Boo guys!
