  3. Hello butterfly10. This is what I eat druning that time, a very solft baked potato with smart blance wipped butter very low calories. But a word of advice go slow. You do know want your band to slip out of place. Am a gourmet cook and I though I would never cook again, I was worng... As a cook I came up with some delicious foods and you will not fill like you are sacraficing taste. The lap band is only a tool, and with any tool, we have to learn how to use this tool. Excercising is a big key.

    CHECK OUT MY BLOG AM SURE IT WILL HELP.. I have many tips and recipes of the day. You will lose the weight with healthy choices. Let me know if my blog is helpful to you..

    Good luck!

Stay away from high sodium foods. I have a blog that may help you, it has food tips, workout tip, and so much more.

  5. Hello Bklynike

    yes I know what it's like perpairing for my suregy. It change my life all for the better. Here is what I did, you need lots of protein as you all ready know, so the best 2 protein drinks I liked was. "Pure Protein- it has 35 grams of protein" "Boost - has 15 grams of protein" I also made my own, 1% milk with so many diffrent types of fruits put into a blender.

    "Jell-o sugarfree" When I needed a little something more then liquid I had " Musselman's - no sugar added Lite mixed berry or any of there fruit sause" Soups with low sodium. Am sure you will do just great, and yes I will have my fringers cross for you. Check out my blog I have so many helpful tips and great recipes when you are able to cook and eat again. Am sure you will like some of them. I love to cook and eat. ROCK ON .. LOVE IT!!

  7. How did it go today? Did you get a fill or have some taken out? I was the same way when I first had my surgey done, just could not eat all the things most could. But then agian we all are diffrent, what one can do another may not be able to.. I am a cook and came up with recipes that works for me check them out and see if any work for you. All are made for people who had Lap Band surgey, and so many other tips on the blog as well.. Congratulation on your grandson's graduation...

    and you are right do not be depressed it will all work out, it will take the amount of time that it does for you, there is know time limit or rush so just what comes naturally for you.

    CHECK OUT MY BLOG AND LET ME KNOW IF IT'S HELPFUL TO YOU..
