Hey yall, So since surgery, what are your food likes and dislikes. I am looking for some new and exciting stuff!

I am only down 35 pounds. I am beyond frustraited. Just feel like crying!

I am so very frustrated. Was banded 10/09/2012 and am only down 38 pounds. Nut said don't count calories. I have had 2 fills. I am so so so frustrated! Any suggestions! Seems like I just can not get the hang of this and I want to so bad! I am exercising. Cardio 3 or 4 times a week. No gym access right now so I am walking. Any help would be graciously appreciated!

so, did anyone get a tag, bracelet or necklace? they gave me a pamphlet in my surgery packet. if you got one, what did you put on it?

Does anyone have a good protein bar they like?

check out www.baratricfoodie.com she has some amazing recipes!

So my NUT said she does not want me counting calories. That made my jaw drop! Maybe I am old school, but I thought that was to help me loose weight. I am in shock. Are you counting calories?

My insurance required just the basics. My dr office is an hour away. They have meetings once a month but I can never leave work early enough to get there.

Happy dance! Congrats!

I do. Small plastic spork and spoon. Also use divided plate so I know my meat, veg and fat portions

So my dr. Education before band was crap. Been learning more from here than I did there. I am 3 months post op. lost 28 pounds. But I KNOW I am eating the wrong stuff. Pretty sure nachos are not on the approved list. But they go down fine. I have had 1 fill and am at 4.5 cc. So what should my meals look like? I drink a protein shake for breakfast because I am so tight until around 9am. Lunch some days chicken salad on crackers, or a lunchable. Dinner, out some days chili or nachos, at home chicken in the crockpot. Snacks just in the evenings. Anything chocolate I can get my hands on. Lots of water and coffee during the day. What am I supposed to be eating? What does a menu at this point look like? Help

Hey all.. So I am looking for some new dvd's. I LOVE to dance. So anything dancey is a good option. Anyone have any fun suggestions?

Whelp, guess I will have to stick with coffee

It's all the time the last few days

It comes in a can. So does that mean carbonated?

Question. I am feeling tight/achy feeling on the left upper part of my belly. Kinda in between 2 of My scars. Below my left breast. It is hard to explain. Anyone feel this ever?

So can we have them? We have xs energy drinks at my gym and they were my fave pre op. they are no sugar, 8 calories. So yes or no?

ok, I had my lapband surgery october 9th. I have lost 27 pounds. I am mentally exhausted with life right now. How can I get motivated to exercise and eat right if I cant even think straight. It takes EVERYTHING I have just to get out of bed. What is going on with me! I cant get motivated. I am achy and hurt. I feel like a failure!

So I am having problems planning lunch. Since I can't have bread, rice or Pasta for 4 more months a sandwich is out. What are you eating. I need some ideas? Thanks.

So for the last 3 weeks my scale has not moved! Getting super frustrated! I have lost 30 pounds since pre op start oct 4. Suggestions?

Hey all, so every night after dinner those sweet cravings hit. I can not handle SF pudding any longer. I am to the point of nausea just thinking about it. I need some ideas.. anyone!!!!

Anyone have Instagram. I have found it helpful for me to start posting pics of my food choices to keep me accountable and moving. Plus love to see the pics of vet banders. I am ghostdiva82

I prefer lose it also

Happened to me too. At 4 weeks to 6 weeks post op gained 2 pounds and kept them for 2 weeks and then got my first full an lost 5 pounds. So normal to gain!
