Kareyquilts, Mimin, Ghost & BJean The Final Push
TheGh0st replied to kareyquilts's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
basically its just a dump and stir recipe. It tastes pretty good just mixing cottage cheese & fruit flavored crystal light (the one bottle size packet) but I like to add a little yogurt to make it creamier and I also like to add fruit to give me some variety in the texture of what I'm chewing. But if you are really trying to keep calories and carbs to a minimum, like I said you could just stick to stirring in the Crystal light only. -
Greek Yogurt - Pricey and is it worth it?
nhverve replied to Melinco's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love love love me some Greek Yogurt! I've never seen a Krogers you all may not have these stores where you live but I find Chobani 0% fat at Hanaford, Shaws and Market Basket here in New England from .99 - $1.20. Fage is good too but I perfer the Chobani. As far as it resembeling sour cream, I agree. It's a bit bitter like sour cream (which I don't mind) but when you get the flavored (blueberry, strawberry, pommegranet, honey) it doesn't taste too bitter. -
Calling All MARCH '09 Bandsters - We need a name!
MissCheryl replied to gabi311b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hope your belly feels better soon, mine took about 6 days before I could say it wasn't sore anymore. Try liquid Tylenol if you don't want to take a narcotic. I know, the soup routine gets old. I also ate Greek yogurt, know it's not a true liquid but it melts in your mouth and has lots of protein. I found a great tasting protein powder on www.Vitacost.com, my favorite online store for vitamins and such, it's called Gold Standard Whey. It's quite a bit less expensive then others I've seen and has great ratings on the website. I've mixed a scoop of the chocolate with a package of sugar free hot choclotae mix for a real treat at night. The vanilla is good, too, and blends well with other flavors. Another favorite find is V8 Fusion Light, it's a vegtable/fruit juice drink really yummy and great ingredients, it comes in 3 flavors. Here's too us all, just think where we'll be NEXT March! -

Diva and Bella, Thank you for the warm welcome! I am really hoping that WW and the band can finally do the trick, so far so good...we'll see how the weekend goes since that is the hardest time for me. I was born and raised in a 3rd world country and have a mentality that I must finish everything on the plate (including my kiddo's leftovers) so when I eat out I end up finishing the humongus portions they give you!! At home I try to serve myself only tiny portions and throw away my kids' leftovers as soon as they are done. Maybe I'll eat in during the weekends too! Yesterday: b-coffee w/milk WW2/60cal l- smart one WW5/ 250 cal s- WW yogurt WW1/ 100 cal Salsa Sunchips WW4 / 210 cal d- turkey/ff cheese sandwich WW3 / 150 cal Progresso 0 point soup WW0 / 120 cal yogurt/blueberries/honey bunches of oats (1 cup) WW4 / 200 cal WW 19 1095 cal -
I can't bare the thought either. I've been sticking to hummus, yogurt, cottage cheese, refried beans and mashed regular and sweet potatoes. If I need more protein I'll keep drinking shakes. A week is too short to resort to blended meat :-)

My surgery was a success and recovery is somewhat slow then I expected. I have some pain but not a lot matter fact the only time I feel real pain is when I cough or sneeze. I having a hard time in getting water in. But I am able to eat yogurt, jello and protein shake. I will just be glad when I can get these staples removed. I also realize some of my clothes are getting big. I almost forgot is anyone having some tenderness in their legs I just noticed it today? Call my insurance 24 hr nurse line and she said that I can just keep on taking the blood thinner and everything should be ok. I will probably call my doctor's office tomorrow to be on the safe side. I will be glad when my life gets back to some type of normalize.

Hungry, or not...after surgery
Ms Lady in NC replied to SpiceyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Talking about fighting temptation...my little girl came home yesterday with a Wendy's frosty saying it was my reward for doing so good and boy did I want to taste it along with whatever she had in the bag for herself but instead I said thanks but I couldn't. The soft cals will be what does me in I know so I am staying away from all dairy including yogurt. I instead keep sf Jello and popsicles on hand to fill my sweet tooth as needed. -
after surgery
mythreechildren2001 replied to bubbly78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr allows the pudding and yogurt if it's thinned with skim milk. I was served jello in the hospital, and I had a whole one today as well. -
deaddemmama - i tried your recipe.. I used nonfat lemon yogurt. skim milk per package directions for the vanilla protein power( used Ohyeah vanilla creme) and lemon extract and a handfull of large ice cubes. stuck it in my ninja. It was kinda meh when i first made it so i drank half for dinner and put the other half in the fridge. Drank the rest this morning and it was SOOOOOO much better. the foam i think was pretty gross. very whey isolate tasting. anyway, It tasted today just like a lemon cupcake. Thanks so much for my new favorite drink! <3

I think probably we are losing inches but not on the scales that's super common I think I just expected the three week stall everyone talks about but didn't expect one this early.i can't remember when I go onto soft foods il have to look it up purée is quite yuck I can't eat the same thing twice except for when it's scrambled egg. And I love cheese I'm happy to leave everything else I can eat more than I expected an entire yogurt a whole egg etc. do you find the Water hard Kiwijet I do it makes me gag I add limes lemon low cal cordial very rarely but it's a lot I'm finding it real hard with being back at work.

Wow Im so happy I found this forum and topic!! Im a 30 BMI 5’ 3 170 and have dieted since I was 12. A few years ago I reached my highest weight ever of 229 but that was pregnant. my skin has been stretched out terrible. I lost 70lbs after losing the baby weight of 29lbs. So I got down to 130. But of course Im back up again. My pre diabetes keeps coming and going depending on my current weight. I honestly can’t handle it anymore. I eat 80 percent paleo not sugar or breads. No soda. I mean CLEAN!! But the scale keeps creeping up. I can’t work out like I use to do some health issues and joint pain. I don’t dare tell anyone because of the shame I feel about getting this done. I wanted to be a health coach and now Im having surgery. Its hard to explain. No one knows but my husband. So I have you guys to talk too. Im headed to Mexico next month to have surgery with Dr. Ponce at INT. Any advice on pre op and post op would be most appreciated. Im afraid of getting hypoglycemia after surgery. Also will I be able to work out hard like running and stay hydrated down the road? Im worried about throwing up and having acid reflex the rest of my life and regretting my decision. My doctor wants me to do 3 days before surgery of just yogurt and water. Is that really necessary? Also 10 days liquids. That freaks me out!!

Most-used kitchen gadgets/utensils after weight loss surgery?
istytehcrawk posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Those of you who are post-op, what are the kitchen gadgets/utensils you've found most helpful? I want to make sure my kitchen is ready before my surgery in ~6 weeks. So far, I've got measuring cups/spoons, mini strainers, silicone ice cube trays (for broth and yogurt and such), and small containers for taking lunch to work. As for bigger items, I also have a food processor, blender, immersion blender, and crock pots. -
Almost 2pm and I just had my first meal. A little late because I was out. It's so easy to lose time when your out, so it made the morning bearable Had a Greek yogurt with blackberries fresh picked from my friends house, yum

Oh, I am so hoping for that feeling of getting back into my clothes. I still wear the same size, but they are tight as opposed to comfy. I had switched medications back in February and gain 7 lbs in 3 weeks. I quit taking the medication but cannot shake the pounds I gained. So I followed through today! It took everything in me at some points, but I did it. I like the fact that I can eat the next day, I think that is what kept me going! I managed 534 calories, and that was with eating some chewing gum and a Calcium Chew (which has 20 calories!). I am wondering how to keep my Protein up. I got in 54 grams, but that was with a Protein Shake for Breakfast. Any ideas welcome. I am not the best at keeping up with things, so I am hoping that I can stick to this! I am a stay at home mommy, so it was tough being at home with the kids and food just steps away in the cupboard! But, for the first time in a while, I am actually really proud of myself for sticking to it. I am thinking that it might only get easier as I adjust, we will see. I might switch to Tuesdays/Thursdays next week...is that what seems to work the best, or should the fast days be a little farther apart. I better go to bed now as I am having problems focusing! I have never been so excited to eat yogurt and berries with bran buds as I am right now thinking about tomorrow!

Having a hard day...
shedevil replied to 140icandoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is so weird how different our des can be. I was on liquid for 4 days and then we were allowed Turkey, chicken, footage cheese, yogurt, refried beans. At one week we could have veggies and fruits..no skin. I asked my surgeon why the difference. He said there is no proof that going through all the stages makes any difference. He said that they wanted us to get on with our lives. I was nervous but have lost 24 lbs since 8/30. -
Ranch dressing...never again!
MrsRoboto replied to lucky1gg33's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried the Bolthouse Farms Ranch? It's a yogurt dressing and it is SO good. A much better choice than regular ranch, you get more bang for your buck. -
Most of my hunger is actually head hunger and not real. If I do notice myself getting real hunger it tells me I am not eating enough dense Protein and good fats. In between my 3 meals if this happens, I really have to really pay attention to the signs and take the following approach: 1. I feel hungry, am I really dehydrated? I start by drinking Water because it is the only thing I drink. Dehydration can actually cause hunger symptoms. If after 8 to 10 ounces that feeling is still there.... 2. Is this real hunger or am I craving something specific? I really think about this one. 99 percent of the time I am craving something specific and that tells me it really is head hunger. I then go do something to take my mind off of it. 3. After the above 2 steps, if I am still feeling hungry, I actually go have 8 ounces of milk. (This is what I should do everytime but of course I am not that well behaved). Milk turns to a solid in your tummy, fills you up and provides both excellent protein and Calcium. 4. If I just cannot get that 1 thing out of my head after the first 3 steps I might just give in and have a snack. 99 percent of the time I reach for nuts, cheese, jerkey, yogurt or pudding. 1 percent of the time I give in a have a bite of two of something I shouldn't knowing it won't kill me or make me gain all my weight back. This strategy seems to work for me.
