This recipe is awesome. Each Burger is about 10 grams of Protein a few grams of fat and are delicious
1 can of black Beans drained and rinsed
1/2 green pepper
1/2 onion
1/2 raw banana pepper
3 cloves of garlic peeled
1 egg
1/4 tsp of cracked black pepper
1 tsp of chili seasoning
1/2 tsp of dry mustard
1/2 tsp of montreal steak seasoning
1/2 tsp of hot sauce
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a medium bowl mash beans with a fork ( I used a hand potato masher it was easier and quicker)
In a food processer chop green peppers, onion and garlic then stir into the mashed beans
In a small bowl combine all other ingredients except the bread crumbs
Stir in egg mixture
Stir in bread crumbs slowly until they are just sticky. If you use to much they will be dry.
Shape in to four patties and brush with a small amount of olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes 10 minutes each side.
Truly delish

I dont understand why you would have 9 fills in less then a year. Fills should be sparing and not done every single time you go to the doctor. You have to have some control in this situation. Even if you have 4.3 cc's in your band you should have lost more then ten pounds. Just because you are not at restriction you still have to control what you eat. Even when you get to restriction you have to control what you eat. If he is in the port and not in the right spot the Fluid would not go in. It wouldnt go in to the skin because the port is a square disc with a sponge like middle. But they have to get to the line where the fluid goes. You could have a leak its not certain but I would think if you had a leak it all would have leaked out by now. Maybe he didnt put as much in there as you think he did. I dont know but you have to do some of this yourself. If you were up to 9 cc's what do you do when you get completely full. You have a life time with this thing.

5 grams in 2 regular cups lol if you eat four thats 10 lmao.

Take care of yourself. People these things are not to post here. Go to the ER then post when you're stable. You're playing with your life. In the time you posted this you could have been at the hospital.

Well to be honest granola is fattening as a hog on a bon fire. Check out the fat content on granola.

Well ya can't move it down with crappy food my friend. Up your Protein and leave the crappy food alone. You will find that crappy food aint so snappy.

Here is my iguana with a bow in her mane. What pets do you own or own you lol. Anastasia thinks she is a princess lol

There is nothing wrong with your puppy but you are beautiful. Stop hiding yourself. We are not here to judge your progress of how fast or slow it is. I like seeing who is posting. None of us have anything to be ashamed of what so ever. Show ya face girl and be proud.

Yes she is my baby. I dont let her free roam though. I take her out and she does lay on my bed. She is quite the princess. She makes me laugh. She will lay with one of my cats and the cats are scared of her. She is never agressive. I have handled her from day one. She was very sick when we got her almost paralyzed from metabolic bone disease and I syringe fed her Gerber baby food every day for 7 months til she could eat on her own. They are very smart animals unlike people think. My own petting zoo lol

Here you can find the pic and story of my iguana Anastasia. I am an advid advocate for animals. I have rescued three cats, an iguana, a mouse and a hampster. Anastasia is my heart. This is her pic wearing a bow and posing like the princess she is. Just a fun thread. What pets do you own or what pets own you? LOL

I have a lot of tricker treaters, plus my 3 grandkids come over. My house smells like chocolate. Grandkids, daughter & son in law stuffing their faces with chocolate. Good thing, I send all leftovers home with them. None for me! Also made hubby a pizza, next fave after chocolate and none of that either.
So Halloween turned out as a NSV for me.
PS put on a pair if 18 pants too, yay!

I indulged tonight. But I will be back on track tomorrow. Hey, I'm human and I love life. That includes a Reese's every once in a while!

Oh and my spelling was incorrect lol for those who have issues with spelling lmao

I made it through the day eating NO HALLOWEEN candy

I agree. I can't fathom eating junk food anymore. It taste aweful to me. It makes me feel terrible if I try to eat it. I'm happy to say no to drugs lol

Well sugar is my poison. I dont know what to tell you girls that have kids except this is the true time your will power goes in to mode. It's the beginning of the Holidays from now til the first of the year. We have to stay strong even though everything is in our faces. It's hard but we can do this. Here is to the first of the year and no weight gain.

From the time I woke up this morning I have been starving like I just left a concentratiion camp. My band is laughing at me telling me to go buy a bag of reeces Peanut Butter cups because it wil fill you up completely and your hunger will go away. Ah ha ha. Well it feels like it was saying that. But any way I didnt over eat today even though Im starving and I am not buying any Halloween candy either. So to my band I say you can be open as wide as you want today I will not buy any candy to let the last laugh be on you! Happy Halloweenie peeps.

Greek yogurt, Quaker weight control oatmeal sugar free, couscous (you may not like it but its packed with Protein and I think its yummy) pure Protein Bar, cottage cheese,

I havent eaten fast food in almost three years. Don't have any desire. I don't understand how people eat that crap at all because it is just that. I don't look at people that have just had surgery I look at everyone. Why would you want that aweful crap in your body.

Most erosion is caused because people eat things they are not supposed to and eat too much. It puts pressure on the band and causes it to erode. I think that most band failures are because of the patient. Being too tight and throwing up, eating too much, drinking carbonated beverages and caffiene, these all cause erosion. The amount of people on here that do all these things will end up with getting their bands removed. It's not worth the risk to over eat. You have to take some responsibility in your diet. People say nothing is off limits but if you're eating something that is constantly getting stuck then that product shoud be off limits.

We all know from here on out the holidays are fast approaching starting with the evil candy day of Halloween but I want to reflect what I have learned about the holidays. It's not about food anymore but spending quality time with the ones you love and cherish forever in your heart. It's about loving yourself and loving others and respecting your body now that you have a band or are getting banded. It's not a time to feel down because you're not eating a whole turkey dinner by your self and hoarding left over pie so no one else will get some. It's about not regaining what you have worked so hard to lose. It's not impossible to get through without gaining but losing. It's time to rethink your strategies of how you will cope now until the first of the year with your band. Don't let old habits come in to your mind. There will be a lot of temptation at work, home, friends homes, but saying no is not punishable by law. Saying no will not hurt you. Saying no will help you. Learning that the word no thank you can be the best words you will ever say in your life. To all of us having the will to survive and living through the holidays with the best attitudes that I will not let food defeat me this year or ever again. You can enjoy the holidays without dwelling on food.
