I would definitely say slow it down especially if you have drainage, by the way its best you mention this to your doc. Please try and take it easy your body has been through a lot.

Ive never had a quiche but I looked at some recipes and it looks yummy. As far as the sodium goes, my doctor say's Im lacking so for me it's perfect but I could see how it could be off putting to some.

I have a lot but what genre do you prefer? here are some on my Workout Mix : Rock That Body-The Black Eyes Peas No Getting Over You- David Guetta Everytime We Touch- Cascada Gasolina- Daddy Yankee Drop it Low- Ester Dean Fergalicious- Fergie Club Can't Handle Me- Flo Rida Bulletproof- La Roux Can't Be Tamed- Miley Cyrus Animal- Neon Trees Shut It Down- Pitbull Love Like Woe- The Ready Set DJ Got Us Fallin In Love- Usher OMG- Usher I Like It- Enrique Iglesias La La La- Alburn * Also recommend Maroon Five, Lady GaGa, Pink, Britney, Selena Gomez, Nelly Furtado, Ciara, Kanye West and techno remixes. Hope this helped a bit

It seems Im usually the culprit, sometimes I just need to SLOW DOWN AND CHEW! Good luck :thumbup:

No problem! Anytime :wink2:

Yeah I really like em a lot, I cook mine in a small skillet to get them a bit well done on both sides :wink2: For the one I eat here's the break down : Serving Size 184g Calories 210 Total Fat 9g Cholesterol 70mg Sodium 510mg Total Carbohydrates 18g Protein 15g

I got really annoyed with the whole mess of making Breakfast so I was pleasantly surprised when I came across these Smart Ones breakfast meals at Walmart. My favorite is the Cheesy scramble with hashbrowns. I eat one almost every morning with a Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patty <<< Try those too they are awesome and come in links as well. Id thought share this tidbit of info for anyone in the same boat as I. Oh and Jimmy Dean turkey sausage bowls are pretty good too :wink2: Enjoy!

There is nothing I cant eat but there are some things I just know wont go down right such as Gardettos snack mix lol yeah I just learned that one the hard way spending a good 15 minutes PBing :biggrin: So yeah that sure as heck wasn't worth it! Also I find it easier to eat multi grain chips rather than potato...odd I know. Another odd one is it seems that I can eat sliced ham better than diced even if its tiny :wink2: lol

Thank you!:thumbup:

Thank you so much for your response! Even though I knew I was being silly you really put it into perspective. I guess it takes someone you don't know telling you to really get it. :thumbup: Again thank you and I am going to say what you said to remind me when I'm beating myself up over silly things. :thumbup:

Hello all and thank you for reading. So here is my deal probably pretty stupid compared to some but it bothers me. I have almost lost 50 lbs since Feb 12, 2010, when I started my pre op diet till now being about 1 month post op. That's good, I know but I can’t see it! Its killing me that everyone else can see it and I can’t. It’s frustrating! I almost feel like they are lying about seeing a difference because if there was one of course I would see it first, right!? I went down a pant size but I’m still in the same size shirts and everything else. My double chin is just as double....sigh..... I know, I'm just expecting too much from 50 lbs and as I'm writing this I'm telling myself, you have to be patient. It’s just annoying taking a picture and putting it next to one at your heaviest and seeing no difference and even though the scale is moving it’s disheartening to see. There is my rant I’m sorry. Thanks again for reading.

Im so glad to know Im not alone. I actually can sleep on my side a little here and there but I wake up and its a bit painful. I came downstairs and wrote this post and then somehow got comfy on the couch and fell asleep for a couple hours. I think maybe I will just do that tonight, sleep on the couch that is. I did take simply sleep and that usually knocks me out but yeah I still woke up last night. Thank you for your advice and I hope to report a good nights sleep soon.

So I had my surgery on Feb. 24th and the first night I slept fine but it seems that Im getting less sleep every night. Last night was my first night without my mom here watching over me since surgery and I swear I was up since 3 am finally at 5am I decided to go ahead and just get up. Unfortunately I suffer from anxiety attacks but have been able to manage them and haven't had any real events in a while. Well I did last night I'm still shaken up and Im feeling kinda nauseous. Im thinking that most of my uncomfortableness is coming from having to sleep on my back, which I hate. I can fall asleep but staying asleep ummm not so much. Im a wreck right now. Im even going so far as to question my decision to have the lap-band. Minor set back Im sure but what do yall recommend?:cursing:

Thank you for your response. Like you I am sure I will begin to learn what each pain or sensation is. I know that I definitely do not have an appetite as of right now just feeling kind of gassy. I have to eat Clear liquids and juices for a weak and then onto cream Soups etc. then onto week 3-4 soft foods such as mashies, yogurt, and pudding. Good luck on our weight loss journey!
