Oatmeal doesn't stick with me either. I use eggbeaters and make a mini meal. I put in hashbrowns and canadian bacon or lean ham, and veggies, and cheese. I bake it in a 8x8 pan and cut it into squares. Sometimes I use sour cream and salsa on it.

Ok, I can't give you portion sizes, but I can give you a list of high protien foods. Beans (not green) refried black pinto etc Fish chicken Turkey Canned Tuna cheese You can aloso make one dish meals that contain bean, meat and cheese, this will give you a huge amount of protien with few calories and fat:rolleyes:

I understand, I have been baned 13 months and have not found my sweet spot yet. Hang in there, as it was stated before, this is a process, and not the same process for everyone. I still think the band was the best thing for me.

Hi, I got my band in June of 2009. I have just started to feel restriction and I have lost a total of 40 + lbs.

Can I use low fat peanut butter?

Nail Polish remover:blink:

I have this feeling like there is a rock or lump in my chest, not all of the time, sometimes it feels like it is trying to come up my throat. I have tried to track "when" it happens, but there does not seem to be any "reason". Like right now, I have not eaten yet, but the feeling is there. After I eat, it might go away. Can anyone tell me anything?????:smile:

OMG!!!!!! Those were the words I was looking for, in my panic I had forgotten everything I learned and why I had choosen the Lap Band. THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!:sad::wink::cursing::thumbup::frown:

My thanks to all for your support, but no one has told why they picked lap band instead of bypass,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:cursing:

Evie, why did you pick the lap band and not the bypass?:cursing:

My surgery is scheduled for June 16th and I am having second thoughts. I thought I was sure that I wanted the Lap Band and not the bypass but now I am not sure. Any words of wisdom?

Call you 800 number on your insurance card, I don't think you need to meet that requirement nay more.

No, only online at UNJURY Medical Quality Whey Protein Isolate. Great Tasting Whey Protein Supplements for Everyday Health! High Protein and High Quality.

clear liquids, slimfat low carb and protien drinks/powders

I am pre-op my surgery is June 16th.

I started the liqiud diet today and am feeling weak in the stomach with a head ache, will this last long? Also, if anyone has some words of wisdom to help me through I would love to hear them!!!:party::ohmy::thumbup:

Hi Breanna, Way to go!!! Are you nervous, I am a bit. It has taken so long to get "here" and now I'm nervous, go figure.

I just got my surgery date, June 16th. I also have my other pre-op tests scheduled, I am so excited. I do have a question though. I don't see my doctor for my pre-op until 6 days before my surgery, I though I had to be on a liquid diet for two weeks, any thoughts?:mad2:

It is my understanding that my surgeon does a fill at the time of surgery, maybe that will help.............:thumbsup:

Thanks Amy, you are right, I like the measurement idea, and you are also right about pictures, I hide:scared2: I am really afaird of being hungry so I have put a lot of thought into that aspect of this proces, I think I have a "handle on it" for now anyway. How soon did you start "walking" after your surgery?

Why did you go to Lansing and not Kalamazoo?

Hi, I am from the Kalamazoo area, and I do not have a surgery date yet. Hopefully I will get one next week.:cool2:

You are right, I guess I am most afraid of failing, again! More than anything I want this to work and I am willing to do whatever it takes, my thanks to all for the support!!!:rolleyes2:

Thanks for the feedback, I guess I am worried about all of the changes, did you have any problems with the pre-op diet, or the post-op frist four weeks, also do you have problems with excess skin. Thanks for any info you can offer:tongue2:
