Hi all, I am finding it too hard to get into this thread, shall we start a May April Bandits thread..........i want to hear how you all are!!!!

Hello all, I have been banded 4 weeks now, to those who haven't met me yet on here.........this is the best site, and has helped me so much , I couldn't have done it without all you guys and thank u so much! My question today is, my mom is coming to my new house for dinner tomorrow nite and I am just starting to eat normal food again.........want a low fat recipe for quiche, other ingredients I have are perhaps artichokes, smoked salmon and feta cheese , any suggestions please as I wanna impress my mum, as she made all this happen for me and was my big support!!!!!! Hi to you all Fiona aka amourette:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I'm going to try some tuna fish this week also.............are you allowed to drink the soup with cream and all that cheese though? My doctor would have a fit...........I can only have low fat , low calorie soup, not even soup from a tin, only healthy stuff.

Hey just bumping

That sounds good Marypetunia.........I don't want to blend food either.........I have been blending my soups and it just feels like the same thing,...........isn't mushies like mushing with a fork?

can someone do mine for me, i can't figure how to cut and copy on this new mac computer...........anyone know!? I am down 22.5 pounds since start of pre-diet. Thank u in advance!!!!

Hi Katieo. My name is Fiona aka amourette, I have been banded 3 weeks and have been living on this site, it is amazing, there is everything here. I am in New Zealand. Will you go to Europe for your op? Same as sallyjo, if you have any questions feel free to PM. Good luck. Fiona

Gals, same also, only lost 2 pounds in last week and today is mushie starts, so bound not to lose, trying not to be obsessed about it hehehe, but it is hard not too isn't it, after all we have been thru' in last week, I am going to read Marchs thread and see if they had the same problems, will get back to you Love Amourette/Fiona

Hey there, congratulations on your date........it will be the best thing you do.........I am only at the start, 3 weeks being banded and struggling with suitable foods for liquids and now soft mushies (yippeee finally), but if I can do it all, anyone can. Do u live in NC, I live in New Zealand but my sister lives in Atlanta, we always go to visit! Good luck!!!!!!!

Hiya Kaybee, actually we are just in the April Bandits thread, discussing exactly the same thiing right now.................we have all been told by docs to forget about weight loss until first fill that is when things start happening, also having enough water ( I don't) . I am only starting mushies today and am not allowed to exercise for another 2 weeks, except light walking.............I guess we have to just be patient? Have a look at our thread, that might help also, you are not alone! Kind regards Fiona

Seems like we are all starting to hit the same problem............I lost 2 pounds last week, and I am still on liquids...........:clap2: yippee today is my first day of mushies, where to begin?????? I had a few blended foods occassionally last week, my fave being black Beans and a smidge of avocado and hummus!!! My doc also said not to even think about weight loss till first fill, but it is hard isn't it? Hey Alison has your doc done anymore ops since you now?? I don't know when my first fill will be, I go to docs on 25th May so will see then, I think he will only do it if I need it and am coping ok with real food, so maybe a week later for me too with you guys. Thanx for that Kat, that is interesting to know, I am NOT drinking enough Water or eating enough food, and ooops already had my first PB, wasn't bad at all! Cheers Amourette

Hi Bluehill, congrats on your banding, we haven't gone anywhere, we are all still here............there are just a few more threads for us personally now, just go to your search button and type in April Bandits and they will appear..................let me know if you still can't find them after that. And it is great that you have found us now!!!!!!

wow, I want a plasma screen too...............but no-one to buy me one..........would he get me one too, hehehehe!!!!!!!

Geez............I can't BELIEVE how long our list got..........amazing!

I wouldn't worry about your primary (does that mean family doctor?). It isn't his field of expertise so I would get that appointment to the specialist made and take all the same stuff with you........it sounds like you have worked so hard on your research, i can't see how your specialist won't be impressed!!!!!!!! do you mind me asking what you think (or he thinks) the problem is with weight if it isn't food portions, is it just poor choices, mine was food portions and obsession with food. I am only banded 3 weeks but am happy so far! So forget the doctor, he's not a surgeon and let us know what happens. Good luck!!!! Amourette XX
