  1. take frozen chx breast and line the bottom of the CP with them...usually about 3 or 4...mix one can of campbells cream of chx Soup (heart healthy variety tastes great) and 1 cup of white wine and pour over the chx. Allow to cook on low for 6 hours...then, pour a bag of frozen broccoli on top and cover it with 1 cup of shredded fat free chedder cheese...Then...my favorite part, cover everything with a bag of stovetop stuffing... let cook fora bout another hour.

    It is delicious!!!!

    I usually bake this in the oven. Its really good. I will have to try it this way lol.


  2. Hi everyone,

    I was banded 11/9/09. I was very sore for a week and 1/2. I stopped taking my meds after 4 days they made me soo sleepy and loopy. The first few days only could do Water, popsicles and broth. I could never finish any of them...I went back to work last wednesday (desk job with lots of getting up and walking to the copier). I lasted a 1/2 day and each day I stayed a little longer (My boss is soo suportive). How has everyone adapted going back to work and lunchtime with co workers or dinner with family? I have stepped on the scale once since surgery and have lost 10lbs!!! (20 counting pre-op) I am 10lbs away from being pre-baby weight which I havent been since 2005!! SInce going back to work I really dont have time to walk as much is anyone else getting in any exercise?


  3. My Surgery was 11/9/09 at Tufts Medical Center with Dr. Julie Kim. It was originally scheduled for 11am and I would have to be there at 9am, However a few days before they changed it to earlier the same day...

    The morning of surgery I got to the hospital at exactly 6:30am. They then had me fill out paperwork and weigh in. They gave me a ID Bracelet. I then had to change into a gown, a robe and booties. They provided a locker for my things. I then was sent to wait in the surgical waiting area until they called my name. I kissed my sweatheart goodbye and I was off.

    I was told to use the bathroom now if I needed to which I did. I then was led to a curtained alcove where a bed and IV equipment was held. I laid on the bed and was bombarded with questions from different staff. Mostly the same questions were aske. Name, DOB, And what are you here for today?

    Soon the anesthesiologist came in and he actually started my IV. I was then led to the O.R. My surgen was there and came over in front of me to talk to me and ask if I had any questions, which definately reasured me. I laid down on the other table and streched my arms out on the holders.The anesthesia dr then asked if I drank wine or beer? I told him wine and he said think of this as a glass of wine or two at happy hour and thats all I remember...

    I woke up in pain and very very thirsty and the nurse was there she aske on a scale of 1-10 what my pain was I said 7 and she gave me something for it. She then fed me a spoonful of ice at a time until I finally told her I could do it myself. My sweetheart was then led in to see me. I was able to use the rest room and given a popscicle which felt like heaven fo my dry throat. I couldnt finish it though. I was then released and was actually home by 3pm. I was happy the ordeal was over. Its been a week and I am still a little sore. It hurts a bit to laugh or cough. But other then that I am starting to feel like myself again. I also have lost 6lbs since my surgery date and altogether 16lbs if you count pre-op dieting. I know it will come off better when I am allowed to start my exercise routine again. I am happy I decided on the lapband ( I actually have the realize).:redface:
