I've been banded 2 months now and everything's going great. I want to cheat on my diet tonight for only the 2nd time and eat pizza and wings. Pizza - is thin crust do-able? Anyone had trouble with this getting stuck? Wings - anyone know how many oz of meat is on each wing on average? would love any advice. Thanks!

Feel free to add me, everyone, I'm LapBandBarbie on MFP -
I've had zero Pasta since I was banded. Trying a whole grain baked ziti tonight. 1 box whole grain pasta 1 jar of Ragu garden chunky 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 3 cups mozzarella cheese I had 1cc added to my band last week, and they said it already had 1cc in there. So I'm 20% filled. I've never had whole grain pasta before, so 1. I hope it tastes good going down and 2. I hope it doesn't come up! Almost 6 weeks banded and have yet to barf. Planning on keeping it that way! Anyone had trouble with whole grain pasta?

Not all protein bars are created equal. Note to self: Supreme Protein peanut butter crunch tastes like supreme poo! GAG ME! #fb

Yes, I put 4 oz of chicken tikka masala in the blender so I could eat it tonight. It is soo yummy!!

My tummy just growled for the first time since my surgery. I think it was more of a wail. I realize now that I forgot to eat. #fb

Wendy's chili has been my savior through the "mushies" stage. Come on February 28 - "real" food day!

Hi fellow Bandsters, I finally got up the courage to write my surgery story; I was banded on 1/24. It has photos to go along with it, so I put it on my blog. I hope you will read it and give me your feedback!http://lapbandbarbie.com/ Cheers, Jen

Thanks for inviting me to this group! I got banded on 1/24 and currently recovering. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post, I'm still learning my way around this site. Look forward to meeting other January alums.

Sounds like pure jealousy to me. Sometimes it can feel like you never left high school. Tell her if she doesn't have anything nice to say, then keep her pie hole shut! LOL -
Did My Band Slip?
LapBandBarbie replied to Lilygirl40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dietician told me to keep meat tenderizer on hand for things like this. Apparently you can consumer a spoonful of the meat tenderizer powder and it's been known to help meat slide through. The idea repulses me, but you may want to give it a try! Let us know what happens, either way. Fingers crossed for you! -
Mags2u, thanks so much! I have got to blog about surgery next - I'm not emotionally there yet though! All, I am one week post op today. Went in for my weigh in and wound check today - down 8 pounds. My surgeon doesn't make people diet pre-op, so I started dieting the day I got banded. Have had zero nausea, but I've had gas pains in my chest area that would make you slap your gramma and cuss the pastor. I'm on the mushies diet until 2/28 when I am scheduled for my first fill. Glad everyone is doing ok.

Going to GNC at lunch is SO UNUSUAL that I expect to see pigs flying when I walk out the door. This new me will take some getting used to.

Mally, where did you get the book? Online?

I don't think I will ever get used to drinking protein shakes. You can try to sell me on it all you want, but they all taste semi-ass.
