I LOVE drinking Water with my Crystal Light packets to go. I put one packet in 32 oz of water 2x a day. I have my favorite flavors stocked up in my cabinet, so I am never without...

I use Braggs liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce. Ingredients: Our Bragg Liquid Aminos are made from health-giving, NON-GMO soybeans and purified Water. They are an excellent, healthy, gourmet replacement for Tamari and Soy Sauce. Not fermented or heated and Gluten-Free. Check out their website: www.bragg.com

I am quite satisfied with the sashimi appetizer (8 pieces) which I cut into smaller pieces, seaweed salad and miso Soup. I used to eat the sushi-sashimi delux plate with soup and salad when I was pre-op. I cannot do that anymore, and do not miss it at all.

Love my Crystal Light Packets To Go...Makes drinking my 64 oz. of water a real pleasure!

I also love hash browns...Try tater tots in the oven, baked extra crispy...Yum! Danger food for me...

Terry, my husband brought it home...I usually have better control, but for some reason(that I am still trying to grasp why)I gave in...

Thanks everyone! Tomorrow is a new day...

I have eaten badly today and feel terrible... I ate a big bowl of corn chips and a whole bag of white cheddar cheese popcorn...I don't know what came over me. I hope I didn't ruin my band. I am 3 1/2 months banded. Has anyone else relapsed so early on? I will get back on track tomorrow...

Thanks Missy and Jim1967...I'll do that

Is it ok to "skip" a meal, if one is truly not hungry? Today I had oatmeal for breakfast, a salad with baked salmon for lunch and a greek yogurt for an afternoon snack. I took a nap in the afternoon and when I woke up I really wasn't hungry for a dinner. Do I force myself to eat so that I have the daily caloric minimum?

Thanks Missy!

I keep seeing the term "slider foods"...Could someone please give some examples of what these are and why they are not good to eat...or are they? Thanks!

I just had 1 small slice for dinner, that I cut into small pieces. Before the band, I could easily eat 2 big slices. I also had 2 chicken wings that I cut into small pieces as well...

"FROZEN" dark chocolate peanut M & Ms...my guilty pleasure!

FYI: I have just tried the Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt and it tastes just like the higher calorie ones...It has only 7 grams of sugar, 0 fat and 12 grams of protein per serving.I also add some Kashi cereal for some crunch and extra protein...very good!

Ordering soup is always good. Portions that you can handle will be smaller, so ordering an appetizer instead of an entree will be enough. Good luck!

FLORIDAYS, I am so inspired by your success. Every time I see your posts/responses I want to follow your progress...

Has anyone tried the Progresso Lite soups? Tonight I had the Chicken and Dumplings. The whole can was 160 calories and was very filling and satisfying.

I was filled 4cc at time of surgery (10/24/12). I'm going for my first fill on 12/12...

I had 4cc at time of surgery (10/24). Going for my first fill in 2 weeks. I don't know how much they will put in...

I have 3.

Had my surgery this morning at 8 am and I am now drinking my liquids and feel good...No pain from the gas (yet). My throat is sore though... Doctor only made 3 incisions. I have the standard size band and it was filled 4 cc. I am very happy!!!

Thank you...When is your surgery?
