Wendy's chili has 21 carbs in it- my doctor always says, stay under the five percent rule. Like on box products, I have to look at the fat and carb count to make sure it's not over 5 percent. I love Wendy's chili- so what I'm asking is it ok to eat? I'm a newbie. 3 weeks out Help

I have such a horrible problem with this. I either have Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt and put the pills in a spoonful to let it slide down, or I have my sugar free Jello with fat free whip cream on top ( just two table spoonfuls)),and put my pills in whip cream to let it slide down quickly. I hope this helps. After surgery, which was 3 weeks ago,I tried crushing and even breaking my pills into quarters, but I kept getting the horrible stuck feeling. Hope this helps! It saved me from a lot of throwing up.

Hazel bliss, when you get a fill does the same effect happen? Thanks for explaining in such detail- it's soo much easier to understand! Thanks so very much

I'm on mushies ,but every time I try to eat I feel like I'm going to throw up(stuck feeling). Or should I say, most times the food gets stuck. It's an awful feeling so I stick to my Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and plenty of Water. The Protein Shakes I can only digest when I'm "hungry" or concerned I'm going into starvation mode, but I'm not hungry and I don't want to force food down, but I don't want to slow down my weight loss. Ugh worried

But, if the green zone is no hunger sweetie, why is the scale standing still.?I want to get under 200 already Thank you

Wishing you all the best! Take it slow and listen to your doctors rules

Hi everyone, Is there something wrong with me? I have no appetite almost everyday. My doctor said, just drink fluids which I am, but I'm getting concerned because its been 3 weeks. My doctor said, enjoy the fact that your not so hungry, and he's a very reputable surgeon. My main concern is will my body going into starvation mode? I'm being honest,it's not like the pounds are melting off and that's what people keep telling me- be happy . I lost 19 and have 59 to go. Anyone else have this problem? I'm really concerned Thanks, Post Op Newbie

Good luck to you too!

I wrote this in another topic, but I wanted to say thank you to my fellow posters here. I went to my first post-op appointment on August 15th. You were right... I lost 7 pounds which brings me down 18 pounds.

Thanks everyone, you give me the motivation to keep going!

Starting weight 238 PRE-OP diet lost 11 pounds And today I weighed in at... 210- I feel like dancing!! Ha Am I overreacting? Is this a good first loss from the lap band :/ What do I do next my fellow bandsters? exercise is limited to walking ugh

No, WLS graduate im upset that' I've only lost 1pound after surgery.

I had surgery August 5th, and lost 11 pounds on my preop diet. I've come home following my doctors orders to a T with no deviation. I weighed 228 preop lost 11pds which brought me down to 217. Today, the scale finally said 216.1 pound in a week? Are we for real?? My doctor said even if you're not so hungry, drink your fluids but continue to get 50 grams of Protein in which I am too. Also, not to be tmi but I can't go to the bathroom. Lost soul ...

Which brand of peanut butter do you suggest? I'm not a fan of chunky

The only person for me that knows is my mom. She's my best friend, and went through every diet with me. I think it's necessary to tell 1 person, in case you ever have a complication. BUT, make sure this person is someone that can take this secret to the grave!! However, we all have diverse opinions on this topic, and everyone must do what they feel is right in their heart. <3
