August Banders - What are you eating?
GaryB replied to mdhomeschool's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My Typical Day - breakfast: chocolate whey shake 100cal. snack: yogurt 60cal. lunch: salad w/ tuna & chicken/ no dressing snack: Spec K protein bar 110cal. dinner: 10-12 oz protein/ veggie/ sm potato snack: frozen tofutti chocolate bar 60 cal. -
I'm not having trouble drinking at all. I do take small sips all day long, but haven't limited myself as to how much at one time. Since it's just liquid, I don't think it just sits in your little pouch. I'd think it would just go right through. I'm pretty much subsisting off of yogurt, protein drinks, crystal light and water. Congratulations on your 20 lbs! That's great! I've lost 10 since surgery. I had my check up today and the doctor thought that was pretty good.

I'm 5 weeks out & my Dr wanted solids at 4 weeks so I've been working on it, but I'm struggling with what to eat. I've done tuna & other moist fish....sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Ground beef was a nightmare, my first attempt at chicken was last night & went ok. Sort of. Yesterday running around with my kids out of desperation I grabbed q tiny package of hummus with pita chips. I only ate a few of the chips but piled on the hummus for some protein. It went down soooo easily. It has been the easiest thing I've eaten since broth & yogurt. So I ate it again for dinner & snack. I ended up eating a ton of carbs! Yikes! So now I'm stumped. I have no clue where to go from here. I want to maximize my sleeve, but I don't know what to eat!!! I've thrown up multiple times daily since surgery other than a handful of days, so feeling full & not sick felt so good! Any suggestions on where to go from here?? I know the mushies stage was kind of carb heavy, but I don't want to get into any bad habits ..... Help!

Hi all, As I'm trying to limit my intake (pre-fill and post-vacation-with-overeating), I was curious what the typical August bander is eating these days. Most of us are in regular foods now, I think. Would you share a typical day of eating? Me today: Breakfast - Yogurt 4oz., cheese stick, Mott's pomegranate sauce (little container) lunch - Vegetarian chili, 1 cup; sugar-free Jello pudding cup Snack - SF Jello pudding cup, 5 cashews dinner - Tuna casserole, 1 cup Total calories today: 950 or so I know I'm still eating too much at a sitting (like at lunch). Some of this is definitely not hunger eating!

August Banders - What are you eating?
dixiedoo replied to mdhomeschool's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my 2nd fill to bring me up to 5cc and I really don't feel more restriction than when I had my 2nd fill. I am trying to eat less but am still finding myself thinking more about food then I should be. Breakfast - 1 ww toast, pb and small amt of jam, 1 ff yogurt, snack - 1 protein bar, lunch - 1/2 turkey sand, 1 ff choc pudding snack - ff yogurt (maybe 2) with a handful of nuts, supper - try to keep total to 1 cup - a bit of potato, meat, and sometimes some cooked veggies. If I am reall y hungry, I tend to wolf my food down and then oh oh - can only eat a few mouthfuls and then have to stop. Huh - maybe this would be my solution to eating too much !! :thumbup: -

I know it's tough on the go, but some Greek yogurt with fruit like Chobani should be easy and fast. I think that I'm doing so much better after swearing off processed foods. These thing are more food science than food. Usually there is a huge ingredients list. Wow, listen to me. I've gone all health food nutty. I always carry some nuts with me and have some in my desk. I also pack my lunch with everything weighed and measured. I have one of those bento boxes with a place for an ice pack. It works for me. Your mileage will vary

I had the Peanut Butter Granola one. The only other thing I had today was a Greek yogurt. I think I'm done with Atkins lol.

Post-op diets! What are you eating?
hallelujah.girl replied to GonnaRide's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think you are not getting much response to this because when you are on Clear Liquids there is not alot of options. If you like tea you might try some flavored teas. I mostly just drank my shakes and Water. Some one had suggested on here once to get some egg drop Soup and strain the eggs. I did this but found it way to salty, but you could water it down. You could also try wonton soup. You might go to Arby's and see if you could buy some Au Jus, some restaurants sell french onion soup (you would have to strain the onions) Full liquids are a little easier I was able to start them on day four and is what I am on now. Here is a list from my surgeons offfice Liquid Protein V-8 Diet Splash Strained thinned cream Soups (this has given me the most variety) Lowfat yogurt thinned Skim milk and of course the other clear liquids. I know it's difficult but you can do it! The thing that helps me is find something to occupy your mind TV didn't work for me very well, too many tv commercials. I cruised the internet and read as much as I could got out side just to get out of the house. -
Do you eat out all weekend? Uf you do then you need to plan ahead and bring foods with you and also have a plan of where/what you can eat on the go. (for example; I can have black bean soup at panera or a veggie burger minus the bun at burger king) If you are eating junk at home get it out of the house! garbage is garbage whether it gets there by eating it or tossing it. Just toss it! replace with healthy snacks/food. Laughing cow cheese wedges are great, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, etc. I found that not planning ahead was a big problem and I have been working on always having a plan.

I take a slice of corned beef from the Deli, a slice of Lorraine Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup of coleslaw and one "line" of 1000 Island dressing and roll it up. Voila, a rueben without the bread! My NUT saw this on my food journal and it made her hungry, so she went home and made the same thing! NUT approved, yay! Also...Turkey Breast from the deli with cheese of your choice, rolled up. Maybe put a "line" of Lt. Mayo in it. Strawberrys are great cut up with sweetener on it, or do what I do...Cut them up and mix with a little strawberry Banana Yoplait yogurt. Dip carrots, cucumbers or whole wheat pita chips into hummus. I buy Imitation Seafood/Lobster and mix it with a little mayo, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. It's awesome and you can make several portions out of it. Crap, now I'm hungry... LOL

I often have a hard boiled egg mushed up with cottage cheese and spring onions on a bed of shredded lettuce. Another favourite is a veggie burger with some beans on top. But having said that, the beans in the US are not nice like we get here in Australia. I am a little tight at the moment and am eating a 1/4 cup of muesli with low fat yogurt a fair bit.

Never felt this depressed before
Supervixen116 replied to Rosy89's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hang in there, Rosy! I echo what everyone said about staying with liquids for a while. You've had a large portion of a major organ removed, and your body needs time to heal. Your new Baby Yoda stomach can't handle too much right now. I had a few tough days after the surgery mentally because I am so used to sitting down in front of the TV or with a book and snacking away. Or when bored, I used to automatically reach for food. Now that isn't an option, so I became quickly frustrated and went down into the "why did I do this" hole. After a few days of sitting down with a protein shake or Oikos Triple Zero yogurt instead, I'm starting to feel better about breaking my bad habits for good. And no regrets. I realized I have to create new, healthy habits. It took me about a week to turn the corner on that. -
Avo would be because of the fat. It is fine to eat so long as it is only a small portion and not the whole avo. I didn't eat a lot of fruit before being banded and eat even less now. I think it has something to do with the slippery texture, it makes it hard to chew and it is too easy to swallow a big bit. Melon and mango(which I love) definitelly slips past without being chewed. Kiwi fruits have all those pips in the centre which make me uncomfortable. Other stone fruits need to be peeled as there is nothing worse for me than having bits of skin stuck. These days if i do eat fruit it is usually tinned or cooked in some way. Strawberries lightly poached over greek yogurt are great. With veg I can eat most veg but being a Brit I prefer my veg soft! I cannot stand it when you go to a restaurant and they serve you green Beans and carrots which are still hard. Raw carrots are good though in salad or on sandwiches - the easiest way to eat them is to grate them or cut very thin pieces using a potato peeler.

Restriction After Almost 4 Yrs???
♥LovetheNewMe♥ replied to Gwen Kinder Slone's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sometimes I am very sensitive after a fill and it takes me almost a week before I am able to really tolerate solid foods with out feeling extremely full or Pbing a little. I have been very sensitive to the band and my fills every since I have had it, I have only had 3 fills in two years. If you can pass water without difficulty I would give it a few days and maybe just do some protein shakes, yogurt and other mushy foods. You may have some swelling since it has been a while since you had a fill. Good luck, just make sure you are taking in fluids so not to get dehydrated. -
I never had any issues with continued dizziness or anything. I could tell when I was not getting enough fluids in, and was dehydrated, I would get very lethargic, and grouchy!! I used Zero carb Isopure drinks 40g. protein in each bottle, I would try to drink half in the morning and half in the afternoon. I bought them at GNC, they are good for while you need clear liquids the first while following surgery, before you can do the shakes. I also ordered the unflavored unjury powder, 20 g. per scoop, and used it in broth, even mixed it up in my jello...you can use it in anything to boost your protein.(www.unjury.com) I also take a chewable vitamin, and the viactiv calcium chews. As for the new job...it sounds to me like perfect timing! It will keep your mind occupied, giving you less time to think of food!! Plus you mentioned worrying about not eating in the cafeteria...from the begining, you can be eating healthy around these new people, and then as you lose weight, they will attribute it to that...nothing else. They have not seen you go up and down in weight...they will see you eating your container of yogurt, or a salad, and as your weight drops...it won't raise questions. Or at least it wouldn't in my mind. Sounds ideal...Good Luck on the surgery, I am thrilled with mine, wish I had done it years ago!!! And good luck in the new job...sounds like you have a whole new life to look forward to!!! Kat

Puréed stage questions
Valentina replied to Charlie Brown's Momma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
pureed foods can be anything you cook in a crockpot and then into a blender. Make is really yummy and savory. It may not look great, but the taste? YUMMY!!. And of course--greek yogurt--my favorite. Or a hearty home made bone Soup,or chili-- blended, add some nutritional yeast for more Protein and flavor and yum yum. See? now you've made me wanting to go downstairs and make soup! Pureed stage ? Step outside of the box , be creative and have fun. Prayers going up .
