good for you:)

good for you:)

i have also not had any support, well my boyfriend is an alcoholic so being said when he;s sober he says hi slim....so yes says a kind word but doesn't lift a finger to help, I thought this week after I bought some liquid eggs perhaps he would make me one... nope just keeps asking when are we going out for lobsta .....sorry for your pain I hear you hun I am also in that right now.....

even the lowfat muffins at dunkins have more calories than the donuts something i learned from my daughter when she worked their couple years back... if i go i only order coffee with skim milk and no sugar ...muffins are loaded with fat ......

you look amazing congrats

i I also had hiatal hernia repair so that's it...some I told but others just judge so it's none of their business.. thanks to a nosey sister she felt the need to tell my mom and my brother, although she told them i was doing gastric like her ??? no comparison in my mind so I set the record straight. but seriously i was pissed she had no right to tell anyone , let me do it it's my body my decision.....

I definetly wasn't ready after a week , but everyones different

who gives a f what people think, they are not your "real friends" .....I haven't lost all me weight yet, but I can't imagine anyone who would treat me different, will see lol but I know if they do they can all kick sand so to speak..

at times i wonder if some of these people even had the band.....the ones that come in here talking all negative I'm like really ?? pretty sure you are not going through what we are , makes you wonder just sayin

that's exactly why i am going by what the nutrionist planned with before surgery...I am 13 days post op and no food in my future for another 3 weeks , although I do add egg whites, cottage cheese , tomorrow so I am catching up lol.....I have had no desire to add other things to scared its weird....I am really missing my salads though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had some wine tonight , white wine so im hoping that is a clear Fluid ...and yes it tasted great , and no issues with sticking ....not sure if I should but didn't see it anywhere in my not to do.... I wanted it so I had some , not going to beat myself up over it , it is what it is peace my fellow banders

I am still trying to get healed , I wasn't sure if I should be tracking calories , but I do know I am under 1000 which is probably not enough went out and bought some more muscle milk today , i feel better if I have that in my diet.....

It's about a cup of food at each meal or about 4oz lean Protein, 1/2 cup vegi's, and 1/2 cup complex carbs. Make sure you start with your Protein then move on to your vegi's and finish with your complex carbs. Stop eating when your full though, just make sure your getting in your lean protein which is 60 to 80 grams a day. Hope that helps some.

This is one of the reasons I think not counting calories helped me. The lapband isn't like a regular diet. If you're lucky and being in the green zone takes away your hunger (like it did for me) roll with it. You've been given help to slay the dragon (hunger) and following what your body tells you with help you lose. It did for me.

I try to get in the most nutrients and Protein when I do eat because my appetite is so poor most days. For instance, when I snack I eat things like string cheese or a piece of deli lunch meat. For meals, I always eat Protein first and then veggies.
If I know I'm not eating enough then I'll have a Protein shake to help make up for it.
It's not easy but you learn as you go. Be patient, you'll get there

love the chobani greek yogurt , full of Protein little thick in texture but it's so good for you, also i love any dannon fit and trim low fat yogurt with the fruit (their is hardly any) so enjoy at week 2 though...

what about skinny cow pops or sf pudding/jello? that can ease the sweet tooth and not do much damage in terms of calories. or...those 100 calorie cookie packets perhaps?

I dont have a post op appointment until next week , and another for AUGUST, tonite i went to a chinese restaurant ordered the Soup and picked out everything sat across the table while my friend dug into food it was strange I used to eat that crap and now I was scared of it???? then another place to watch fireworks and said no thanks to so many treats now that sort of was not easy, man so many temptations but I did it only Water .....their was nothing i could eat yet not sure if it was the band or me working ?

My only thought from the beginning was, I had this surgery and by gosh it was going to work! I've never even thought about what I use to eat because that's how I got here. It's all about the want. I lost 78 lbs since nov 6. No fills!
