Hi all... I was banded on June 3rd, 2009... I live in Garden Grove...

I am planning on joining and I also let another local bander on here know about it and he sounds pretty interested as well.

could you please tell me where you buy /and or make cocoa almonds sounds delicious

I get them at Target they come in the 100 calorie packs... It is a great snack I eat a few am full and kinda get my chocolate fix :sad:

B: morning star sasuage

S: 2 tbsp of shrimp ceviche

L: turkey pepperoni and string cheese

S: cocoa roasted almonds

D: ricotta bake

I mix one scoop of nectar chocolate Truffle and one cup of milk and have half in the morning and half in the afternoon and it is great and the milk gives it extra protein!

I also like Nectar... My favorite being chocolate Truffle!! I don't really like the fruit ones. On www.bjsbariatrics.com you can get samples!

Hello all ... I am Jenn! I am 24 years old... No kids... Never married!! I live in Orange County, California and was banded on June 3rd.

Orange County, California

Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (can be found at walmart). It is great to add to any mushie meal that you would typically salt (a little spicy) and Greek yogurt with honey or Peanut Butter or both. Both made mushie's much more tolerable!

I had my surgery on a Wednesday and went back to work on Monday... I felt great on Friday well enough to go back to work but I am glad I took the few extra days before returning.

I love nectar chocolate truffle...

Congrats... That is very exciting...

Yeah it is pretty crazy! I have not talked to anybody on here with a plan like mine! Good to hear that you are doing well! As for me I am getting super bored with puree/mushie!!!

Hey Don

How you feeling day after first fill..? I dunno bout that Protein Water thing ... I think that I will just stick to Crystal Light!

My surgery was on June 3rd ... I think that my doctor is on the express program lol. I progress a stage each week. I am starting week two and already on mushies. I start soft solids next week on the 17th...

Thanks for the response... I think that I may very well be over thinking... I think I am unclear on what "full" like at this stage. Once again I think I am over thinking big time lol... I am sure it will start getting easier!! Just wanted feedback to ease my mind!!!

Congrats on the first fill... Let me know how it goes!!!

By the way... How do you do Protein in Water? ? I can barely get it down in juice!!

I am on day 2 of puree/mushie stage and I am having a very difficult time. The biggest being I am not eating or drinking enough. For each of my meals and I am only eating half or less. I am scared of eating too fast, too much, etc. As for the liquid/water intake I am taking too much time to eat and know that I cannot drink thirty minutes before of after a meal... So I am not getting in my required amount of liquid. I dunno if I am being too careful or if it is something that will get easier...

Somebody please help :ihih: !!!!

You can always use a strainer as well...

None of the names caught my eye either. I am a team player though. So whatever the group picks works for since I have no suggestion.

The idea of not using a straw is because typically more is consumed when using a straw... Or at least that is what I got out of the dr lecture about not using a straw...

I am scheduled for June 3rd... Very nervous, anxious, exited, scared... I guess it is safe to say I have mixed emotions.... But I am def ready!!! It has been a long process...
