Meatballs, Pork Rinds = Protein Like Brandy said, we have our off days ... but for someone who hasn't even been banded yet to come in here and basically criticize others on what they eat is rather rude. :cry_smile:

Breakfast ~ 1.5 Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, 2 Slices Bacon, 1/4 C Potatoes O'Brien & Couple Bites Of Toast Lunch ~ Peanut Butter Protein Shake Dinner ~ 1 C AmyBee's Chicken-White Bean-Green Chili Soup :girl_hug: (Wow! The best soup ever! Thanks for sharing that recipe!!)

Sounds like your food is moving too quickly through your band and perhaps you could use a small fill ...

This is the recipe I use ... just swap out the beef for turkey :embaressed_smile: 1.5 lbs Ground Beef 3/4 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese 2 Eggs 1 tsp Dried Parsley Dash of Pepper 2-3 T Butter 15oz Can of Tomato Sauce 1 Clove Garlic 1/2 tsp Onion Powder 1/4 tsp Basil 1/8 tsp Oregano Combine beef, cheese, eggs, parsley & pepper until well mixed then shape into meatballs. Melt butter in a large skillet and cook until all sides are browned. Place browned meatballs in the crock pot or a casserole dish suitable for the oven. Combine the tomato sauce, garlic, onion powder, basil & oregano. Pour over the meatballs, stirring gently to coat. Turn crock pot on low for 1-4 hours OR bake, uncovered in an oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes. **I make them in the crock pot and although the recipe says 1-4 hours, I let them cook on low for 6-7 hours ... they turn out really tender and oh so yummy!**

THANK YOU!! I plan on making this tomorrow :cursing:

Steak :embaressed_smile: Congrats on your upcoming surgery and best of luck on your Lap Band journey! :cursing:

After many months of procrastination, I finally cleaned out my closet ... it's time for me to let go I plan on listing these items on Ebay but thought perhaps I should offer them to my Lap Band family first :thumbup: No holes, rips or stains unless noted next to the item ... Many were only worn once, twice, a handful of times and some are even new with tags! I'll list the items and descriptions here, I plan on taking pics of each item later today so if you're interested in anything, PM me and I can send you the pics late tonight or tomorrow. The different colored font(s) represent the asking price for each item, the cost of shipping to be determined upon the total weight of the items you purchase.
