  1. I discovered an amazing chocolate treat. Cool whip lite or ff mixed with unsweetened cocoa. Just mix to taste and eat, fridge or freeze which is my favorite way. Also good to add PB2. The chocolate comes out a rich dark. I have also tried instant sf ff puddings but they have too much sodium for me.the lemon does taste incredible. Enjoy!
  2. My tummy talks to me all the time. Usually isnt hunger and haven't figured it out yet. A lot of times it is when I'm starting to eat. I think it is normal.
  3. Hows it going? We are all thinking of you. Stay strong!
  4. I am only posting what I was told and that was not to use those shots. I have also seen other people post here and another group that the were also told not to take . My suggestion for anyone trying to get a quick fix is to run it by your doctor or nutritionist. They should be the ones to ok them.
  5. I eat half cup meals 3 times a day packed with proteins. Chilii with meats and beans, fish including tuna, chicken eggs etc. I get between 60 and 70 grams a day. I do a lot of planning and researching recipes. You can do it. It is a process and the more you learn the better you will get.
  6. Thinking of you stay strong!
  7. Mine is also tilted and was told not to worry but it makes fills a b***h!
  8. I never blended anything past liquids. You should be learning to eat now.
  9. She says because of where the band is placed.
  10. Call your doctor and ask?
  11. Fish, tuna canned, chicken canned, cottage cheese, beans, eggs. Didnt your doctor give you a list as well? also I cant eat just eggs but if i whisk it with skim milk I have no problem. Congrats and good luck!
  12. So when I went to see nutritionist she told me as I lose my band will get loser and might need more fill which makes sense. When I told nurse that she said it wasnt true and that she has several patients that have not been filled in years. Anyone know the truth no guesses please.q
  13. Hoe many drops of mio do you use when just making a drink?
  14. I definately think its a personal deccission. I know others in your situation that have gotten the band because they keep gaining it back. I also no others who didnt have a lot to lose but were approved because of medical conditions. I wish you the best of luck!
  15. maybe you can get more calories by choosing different food options. maybe meet with a nutritionist. Good luck I am very impressed.
  16. Nothing is wrong with having it but I personally would not want to use my calories on it and a lot of people have problems with breading. You should never feel deprived.
  17. I also use coffee mate sf flavors. They do make a ff half and half. It really boils down to what you want to uses your calories for.
  18. I also would do breasts but I hear most people saying they can't eat them I have never had a problem and the last times made thighs I was grossed out by all the fat I tried to get off.
  19. I used to add sf ff instant pudding mixes to my shakes until I looked at nutrition label and saw there is 300 gms of sodium in just one serving. I think there are 4 servings and this was jello brand I no longer use or suggest it. You can also try sf syrups like they use in coffee shops or pb2 if you like peanut butter.
  20. I went thereo last night with all intentions of having their low calorie black bean soup. Unfortunately wrong day. I ended up with a side of their yummy chicken salad with two tomato slices and two cucumber slices. I knew I could eat it all but left some in the bowl. I make sure if anyone is making dinner plans with me to make sure there is a soup option in case I can't find anything else. I also don't count calories.
  21. If it was me, I would make the shake and bake for your friend and cook chicken thighs for yourself a different way. Dont ever feel you have to compromise for other people. There is usually a solutions.
