So far so good.. just sore and learning my limits. Though since ive started semi solids i havent had any weight loss. Butbit will come in time .

Im on mushie/semi solids...im eating tuna fish . Scrambbled eggs, string cheese chewed really well. Yogurt. Soy snacks that practiclly melt in your mouth .

I'm on here now as well...feel free to add me. Bluetattoo83

Well part of the reason im still sore is from getting hit in the stomach with a chair at work by accident. I went back to work after 10 days. My job is easy but rquires stretching , reaching, and my tummy hits the poker table a lot bc i have to reach....im too darn short! But i did eat too much lastnight, i didnt get sick but i felt miserable and belched alot! I laid down on my left side held my pillow for a couple hours beore i felt somewhat normal again....vowed not to eat too much again... guess we all learn thehard way.

I sip while eating.. my mouth gets so dry if i dont have something to drink.

I was banded on 12/30 and im down 20lbs. I'm just now hitting solids and my work out routine has been limited. I'm sure when I get over the sore spots ill lose more weight. But ATM I'm taking it easy. I got hit in the tummy by accident and I'm a little bruised up.

I had this done december 30th. I'm still swollen. Also can you pop your stitches if u eat too much ? I don't get a fill until feb 21st. But I was curious if anyone has had complications with this surgery. I'm still tender on both sides of my stomach. Especially the port area.

I was told no caffeine. So I have a short decaf skinny peppermint mocha. It's 70 calories and 10 g protein

Yup i live in norman and i love tarahumaras mmmm..

What's your sinful food? While i could say anything smothered in chocolate, i would be lyin. My sinful food is chips and queso from one of the local mexican restraunts. I havent had it since i was banded...for obvious reasons. But that doesnt stop me from dreaming about t and thinking about it. Its sooo bad for me i dont want to know the calories that are in it. I've contemplated trying after i can go to full solids but i changed my mind. If i keep the mentality that i cant have it i just wont go there or try to see if i cn eat it.. therefore staying out ofntrouble.. but one of my sinful foods that i cant give up is chocolate. So i have chosen moderation...i figure 3 hershys kisses on fridays only if i walk 7 miles for the week. Then gradually move up the mile marker ..... so whats yours?

Good luck!! We know you can do it!

I love the proti 15 drinks and snacks.. my favorite drink is cranberry fusion, it has 15 g prktein 70 calories. Their soy snacks are good too i lkke sour cream snd onion s well as the bbq. They also have a lot of protein (15). My doctor sells these in his office for 8$ a box.there are 7 packages in each box.

Has anyone tried this unflavored protein mix? I heard you could mix with anything and it has virtually no taste. I would appreciate any comments you have on this powder mix.

Gas x strips that melt in ur mouth helped me with mine. I'm 8 days post op.

Lol <3 this post. I laughed so hard I thought I might have busted a stitch. I especially liked putting it down in the food diary.

I have been craving turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. Man I hope I can eat bread when I get to the solid stage. U guys are making me hungry lol

I've started walking with the kiddos. But I wasn't sure myself how many calories I should be taking in. I'm aiming for 800 calories bc sometimes I don't even make that. But I do make my 70 g protein. I was hoping I could get an average from the seasoned bandsters.

I go there often! I've got three kids and they love their fruit cups with their chicken. It's a lot healthier then Mcdonald s!

I'm reaching my 70 g protein a day. But I'm falling short on calories. But I'm also still in the mushy stage now.

So once you get to solid foods I know you need to be watching carbs, calories, sugar, and protein intake. What have you set your daily limit to be? How long have you been doing this? How successful have you been ?

I just signed up for my fitness pal. It's awesome and the bar code thing actually works ! But it keeps telling me I'm not eating enough. Or getting enough calories in. Wish they had a way to customize it for bandsters

Good job on losing the 20 lbs!! I know it may be a little difficult bc you are still sore but try to get some walking in. Burn some calories by walking or doing some form of exercise.

I get purred food starting the 6th and then a week after that soft foods and then on 4th week I get solids.

Good job!! You should feel so proud of yourself! Keep up the good work!
