Ellen - Glad to see the Ticker is working. We were banded the same day but I can start mushies on Sunday - Can't wait! Last night I had to take my elderly dad to the hospital (he's ok). After six hours I was so hungry I went to the cafeteria and the only liquid option was the gravy from the fried chicken meal. I almost ordered a cup of gravy (l0l). But, I didn't and ended up finding some yogurt instead. Janet - it is so heartwarming to see that the people you connected with last year have become friends. What a great way to have a reunion!

Hi Janet, A large part of my problem is that I don't work outside of the house and therefore, I tend to sleep late. I am not a morning person! Of course, when my kids were younger, I had to get up early to get them on their way, but I don't have to do that anymore, so I can sleep 'till I want. And I do. And it's not good. In any case, this morning, I had my tea at around 10:30am, then I did my exercise from 10:30-11:30am or so, and then I first ate "breakfast," (yogurt, fruit, nuts), around noon or a little thereafter. So, I really only eat two meals a day -- but I get famished at around 4pm -- and that's when my cravings for junk are the worst. I don't eat any starch except for an occasional white or sweet potato and I'm okay with that. Sweets are my downfall. I'm really hungry as I write. I had turkey and veggies for dinner at 7pm and it's now almost 11pm and I'm starving. I'll stay away from the food, however. But I am hungry. I think I'm filled enough -- I have 7.1 ccs in a 10 cc band. I can't eat chicken for the most part -- I throw it up. Some foods make me feel full quite fast and others not so much. I'm terrible at counting calories -- I'm a disorganized artist type and details are my nemesis. I'm amazed at how you know caloric values and all that. I'm totally dumb when it comes to that kind of stuff. I need to get a new printer (mine just broke), so that I can print off all of your suggestions for snack foods, etc. I've got to get to the point where food becomes fuel and being healthy becomes my #1 priority. Having not lost very much in a year is making me depressed. Thanks for being here for me. You can't imagine how much I appreciate it. bonnie

I gotta say I worked hard and really didn't vary too much from eating healthy... I was very lucky never hit a plateau .. I really contribute that to the exercise - In March I got a trainer at the gym and started working with weights... Eat foods that have more substance you will feel full longer - At dinner if i was extra hungry I ate extra veggies Also try this take a diet soda - pour in a glass and let get a little flat - then take a tiny sip - the carbonation will make you full. On the weekends - I was out and about so I didn't think about food - it seemed like every month I was buying new clothes in a smaller size. Attaching menu - and picts. JoannMarie - You are just going to do so well - you have this thing down pat and you aren't even banded yet... Prayer - fingers crossed for your review - let us know ok - Hugs Jill 8.67 lbs a month - you are doing great girl - yes I know you wish it was faster but look thats 2 lbs a week - more energy - and just think where you will bee next yr on your vacation - what a great incentive to keep moving forward.. Keep up the EXCELLENT work..

Here's what I wrote to Dr. Oz: I watched your show on the Lapband procedure. I am two years out, had my lapband in January, 2009. I lost 106 pounds (reach goal) in 11 months and have maintained that weight loss since December, 2009. I enjoyed the show until you had the food segment. It is a grossly incorrect representation of how lap band patients eat on a daily basis. First of all, we eat Protein -- at least 70 to 80 oz. per day. The rules of lapband (which you NEVER mentioned) are protein FIRST, drink 64 oz. of Water daily, exercise and no snacking!!! You even showed foods as "snacks" which is clearly breaking a lap band rule!! The lifestyle changes include all of the rules mentioned above plus limiting carbinated beverages, limiting carbs, and limiting alcohol intake as well as learning to eat slowly, small meals (we use small plates and bowls to help our minds adjust to new portion sizes) we exercise. That's how the tool works -- not the way it was represented on your show. I belong to Lap Band Talk -- there's a group of us who have been meeting on one thread for three years -- most of us are seasoned, are at goal and follow the rules and have for several years. There's also an expert on bariatric surgery by the name of Kaye Bailey who has a very helpful website -- google 5 day pouch test and you will find her site -- she's devoted her life the past few years to bariatric surgery patients and is a successful patient of bariatric surgery herself. Here's a sample of what I eat every day: Breakfast -- green yogurt with strawberries and blueberries lunch - 1 egg omelet with turkey sausage, onions and peppers and sometimes sliced green olives and a wedge of laughing cow cheese. dinner -baby spring greens with onions, tomatoes, another wedge of laughing cow cheese and 4 to 5 oz. of grilled chicken breast tossed with Kraft low fat sesame/ginger dressing. I work 8 to 5 but don't have a lunch hour until 1:00 p.m. so I usually have a snack of PB2 (powdered peanut butter) with some celery sticks mid morning. In the afternoon or evening I snack on sugar free popsicles and to cure any sweet tooth or hunger I make sugar free fat free pudding with a scoop of Protein powder added in. I make it with fat free milk and portion it out. I exercise every day -- 60 mins. of cardio and 3 times a week I do weight machines although I have to be careful because of neck and back problems. I've lost thousands of pounds in my life, but never learned how to eat until I had lap band surgery and found my on line support group at Lapband talk. Support group is necessary for accountability - those who belong to a support group and sign in every day and hold ourselves accountable are the ones who are succeeding. Feel free to check our group out -- www.lapbandtalk.com -- go to "mentors" forum and then find "I'm here to help" -- that is our group that's been together for years - we actually travel once or twice a year to get together personally - we've all become good friends and go through our journeys together - keeping each other motivated. That is what life with lap band is like - not how it was portrayed on your show. Any of us would be happy to discuss this further with you or any one from your staff. Feel free to contact me any time. We love you Dr. Oz, but you need to get this information correct - it's too important. Hope none of you minded that I invited him to snoop on our thread!

Sharon - Glad to hear that you are getting on the exercise routine - Ya if I rode a MC I would be in a body cast :smile2: just from bikes when I was a kid I have 2 scars on my head - forehead and then chin - and 2 more one on my wrist and the knee... Becky - Ok I was wondering where you were but figured you were taking care of that lady. As to being of track... #1 if I remember right you do have restriction - I remember being concerned that you were too tight cuz you were mostly eating soft/mushies foods and having problems with hard proteins - so I don't think a fill is called for if you are eating soft foods - IMHO you just got to get back on track in the eating healthy department - When is your kitchen going to be done. What can you do in the meant time - #1 plan plan plan - make sure you have stuff for your meals - I hate saying this cuz I am not a big advocate of frozen meals - but since you don't have anywhere to cook - then you need to have lean cuisienes or ww meals on hand -lite bread - lite lunch meats fruits - yogurts - Is it still too cold there to BBQ?? That's another option - also do you have an electric frying pan?? or a crock pot that you can throw stuff in to cook healthy meals. Are you done taking care of the lady?? There you have a kitchen to cook in so you can prepard good meals. ok 6 lbs - that's still a loss (sorry but don't remember if your fill was early feb or late feb or in the middle) if it was mid to late feb then 6 lbs is not bad for say 6 weeks - that's 1 lbs a week and that's good. So don't be so hard on yourself .. even if it was 1st of feb - that 3 lbs in Feb and 3 in March (you gotta average) that's 3/4 lbs a week and that's not bad either - all in all it's a loss and due to the challenges that you have had lately I think that's very good loss.. Rose - So glad you posted - I have been concerned since w havent heard from you lately..... Yes you to have had alot going on - but now things are back on track and so will you Everyone - remember this is a lifetime thingie - we have to adjust our thinking - we have to concentrate on eating healthy 98% of the time and leaving 2% for treats - this is how we have to live the rest of our lives if we don't want to gain the weight back - So no matter what the sistuation is you just gotta think healthy and stay away for the old habits of having a bit of this or that too often... I think it was PJtax who said that the reason that I didn't over do it while on my cruise was that I was so aware of what happend those 3 days at my Aunts in Feb.. Well that's sorta true - but again everynight I did have a little dessert with my meal - didn't always finish it - sometimes I did and I did have 2 cookies most days - but my other meals where very lite and lots of exercise (stairs) Julie - Hugs on being too tight - That's just awful.. I was tight once but not that kind of pain - just couldn't eat more than 1/4 cup of food and could barely drink.. Sorry that I really don't have too many words to help since I haven't been in your shoes - all I can say - is while you are unfilled - you are going to have to make a determined effort to eat very healthy and get that exercise in - don't start feeling sorry for yourself and start feeding those feelings - it will get better with time.

Morning all. Just returned from the gym. Did my bike and elleptical and upper body weights -- feel good. Showered and ate my hard Protein for Breakfast -- last day of the 5 day pouch test. Apples, yes, I agree with what you said -- over Thanksgiving I allowed myself a few bites of everything at the one dinner, but after that I was done - no leftover that weren't part of my everyday foods. I didn't gain any over that holiday so expect not to over Christmas either. I think this past few months has been a good learning experience for me -- and I'm glad I woke up and nipped it in the bud when I did -- it's so easy when you're on maintenance to get a little sloppy with our eating. I know I was miserable cause I was too tight but I was afraid to have any fill taken out - but since I did I've been so much better -- and I don't need a fill -- I'm at perfect restriction -- the only way I was able to tell that was by doing the 5 day pouch test. She has an entire site by the way -- I may check it out -- basically like this one but it seems to deal more with people who are struggling so it may be of help to some of you here too. Cheri, I don't eat the yogurt and berries either when I'm doing no carb days -- but I did eat it daily during the entire weight loss phase with no problems. Now, I can still eat fruit daily and maintain, but to lose any weight, I have to give up all the carbs including the fruit. Lori, hope your prep is going well -- call if you need any advice - you have my number. Apples have a great time tomorrow -- enjoy those kids -- sounds lovely - what IS on that menu anyway? I'm nosy. Well, gotta run - baking is calling me. Hope all is well. Love ya all - have a wonderful day! Linda

OK I must have miss some post - didn't know Melissa was struggleing or that Laura K had a date.. Melissa hugs - what is holding you back Well thats a dumb question janet - if she knew she could fix it.. Laura good luck on your date - who is he... I got some message from some guy on fb - I think he's strolling fb to fiind a date - good looking - but looks younger than me - said bud - I live over 100 miles from you .. Plus I'm just not there... I like my singlehood.. Hope it goes well - let us know.. Joyce - I only counted protein (60 grms a day) and calories - I usually only had what I call carbs/starches for 1 meal - I usually saved that for dinner (rice) - I don't count carbs per se - like yogurt (I eat the splenda sweeten stuff) I don't count the carbs in that - fruit - I don't count the carbs - to me carbs = starch bread potato rice pasta - I would eat oatmeal sometimes - but not often - and I may have some granola in my yogurt - but 1/4 cup wasn't enough for me to bother with. In my weight loss phase I kept my calories between 800-1200 and varied them daily - Great - Well I bet the b1 is expensive too and with all you got going on right now - I can truly understand being eradick and now consisentcy Well gf left - I'm headed to the couch talk to you all tomorrow

Good morning all~ Tightness must be in the air! Yesterday had liquids all day, then tried to eat a yogurt with tiny bits of granola in it- just air escaping the whole time. You know the kind that is not a burp per se but an involuntary air thing? After attempting 3 small bites I had to put it down. Just from that I needed 3 tums and another prilosec. I am drinking liquids fine. Only thing that I did yesterday was take a second dose of my allergy medicine. Antihistamines do "dry" mucosa and maybe that's what it is. Cheri, do you take anything? When DH is on call, I don't cook. The times when I have cooked for him- he gets stuck at the hospital until 2am. When I don't cook... he was home by 7! I had a cold chick fil a sandwich for him..LOL and some bean salad I made yesterday. He was thrilled to be home and glad I didn't cook. : ) My Dad is having surgery today. The urologist wants to re do the stint and check things out in the ureter. They are considering taking out the nephrostomy tube and they want to see if the tumor is shrinking b/c they cannot do a CT scan with contrast. (His kidney can't handle the contrast). His case is scheduled for 10 this morning. Fingers crossed. Melissa, I checked flights for you, cheapest is $350. I think you can do the drive! And we would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you!!! So don't bail and you don't smell! LOL Janet~ I hope your weekend goes well. Know that we are thinking about you! Julie~ hugs and have a safe trip! Hope you slept well. Eva~ Congrats! That's awesome with your NSV. Mine recently was being able to buy a bra off the rack and it fit. I was ordering mine online for a year or so. Those small things mean so much. Off to get Nelson to school. CBL... peas....aka laura

Well, I am back from my mother's. Got her eyelashes removed. Her eye dr wants her to go back to the neurologist-opthomalogist (sp) . There is no physical reason her vision should have become worse. It could be her heart medicine too. Hopefully that will get changed. The medicine she takes for her heart can cause blindness. I am too tired to take the kids to Santa. We are going to do it tomorrow. Apples, you don't have to be blood kin to be a grandma. Your "mom" was closer to you than your mother. Those kids love you. Own it......Grandma!!!! My DS's new girlfriend has two kids. I bought them the same thing I bought my g-kids. Hey, if they are not here next year they know I loved them. Lori, it is Desert Rose......the pinkish pattern you saw. That was the other pattern that was popular. I heard that costco has more upscale merchandise than Sam's. We have a couple of them, but they are not close by.....meaning they are over 20 miles away. I want to check one out. Kelly, congrats on the lb! Snacks......hmmmm.....low carb yogurt..... Mozzarella sticks...... Boiled eggs.....sf pudding......protein shake. Oh yes, 100 calorie popcorn.

Hi Everyone - I got home at 3am I had a great time. I drank some wicked Margarita's it was so good. My husband had one drink and then drank soda the rest of the night, so I could drink. I was so tired I fell asleep in the car on the back home from the party. I had a wonderful time thanks to all for pushing me to go. I got up at 9am could not sleep no headache either yeah for me!!! I will be pushing my Water and crystal light today. Thanks to everyones suggestions on the little bowels and where to get them. I should be looking for 1/2 cup serving sizes correct? Janet - I actually already had little baby spoons. But I have never bought baby forks do you use those as well? So can I have greek yogurt? I mean I see my Dr for a fill on the 4th and will be back on the Protein train and trying to get all the junk out of my system. I forgot who suggested it but I pick up the magazine with Dr Oz on the front it talks about his green drink. It actually sounds pretty good. Do any of you do a detoxing green drink?

E60 - Welcome !!! Being pouch full and statisfied are 2 different things - If you have read any of my post - I talk about this all the time !!! I will eat my dinner and will be physically full - but still want to eat - mentally I am not full - this is head hunger and it does manifest it's self in to you thinking you are really physically hungry - but you really aren't cuz if you eat any more you will bp. Your doc is asking if you are pouch full - and yes slider foods (yogurt, ice cream, thin oatmeal, soft veggies anything super soft - for me popcorn is a slider and so are Cookies & chips and cake) are foods that you can eat 24/7 and tons of without restriction as they slide right thru the band.. There is a reason for the band rules - Protein 1st - then veggies and if any room starches - the reason is that you will be pouch full after about 4 oz of meat - you then may get to eat 1/4 c of veggies... Yep Bonnie - tracking forces you to be honest :biggrin: and ya I bet you fell down those stairs on purpose (just kidding - really hope you are OK) A while back I was sitting at the computer with my legs crossed got up to go to bed - well my foot had fallen asleep - and I fell hard on it and hear this snap crackle pop - thankfully I didn't break anything - but I did sprain it... Holly - Thanks !!! You are doing good on your calories & exercise - Keep it up -:rose: and sweetheart - cornbread is bread :smile: and as stated above I think your doctor wants to know if you are pouch full - not satisfied - hell thats why we were fat in the first place - we ate to darn much food - and just like a drug addict or an alcoholic - the amount of food we ate to feel satisfied keep getting to be more and more... Remember the day when you ate 1 candy bar and were fine - I remember I would make a box of rice a roni and I would eat on it all weekend - but prior to banding - that box was gone in one setting :smile: . As to the weakness are you getting your Vitamins ??? that's very important along with your water - I would discuss it with your doctor again - cuz you shouldn't be feeling weak.. Becky - Sounds like good restriction to me - cuz I will get stuck on pudding too if I eat too fast... Yes life seems to revolve around food - all the holidays the birthdays etc and you will also notice how much pple eat and how fast they eat and the whole eating out thing - it's so hard to make good choices - but with proper restriction it's ok to eat that enchilada cuz you won't be able to eat it all- you will box up the left overs and have a few meal out of what use to be 1 meal.. Missing being able to pig out - yep - I hear ya girl on that one - I still miss it and most likely always will - but it's in our heads as you said and as each day passes it does get a little easier as with each pound that is lost you feel so much better and that feeling is better than the taste of the food (well most of the time :biggrin:) Well, gang - I have been to the gym twice today - 4 miles this morning and weights tonite - am charging my Ipod as I type so that it will be ready for tomorrow (NO EXCUSES) so that I can do another 4 miles after work tomorrow - I gotta get these 3 lbs off and fast... I am making soup for dinner - oxtail - cabbage zucchini carrots mini corn on the cob and oxtail's- will be eating soup for lunch the rest of the week and getting in ALL if not Extra exercise - dessert tonite will be strawberries & black berries with some lite whip cream... No more candy or Oreo cookies or real ice cream... Til tomorrow - Sweet Dreams !!! :tongue2:

Linda - I missed this post earlier. I am trying to make some small changes but with the help of my Diabetes Educator and my Shrink I see Tues. I know I can do it. I did it before I can do it again. I just don't want to be stuck in this cycle of losing and gaining anymore that is where I pray the shrink will help. Janet - I decided to move my LB appt. That is not the problem right now anyway it is my head. I agree with this "I think we just put our heads in the sand - and after a while it's just to hard to think about losing the weight - ie this is where the band comes in play to help - but it's not the magic cure all - it's only a tool to help us - as I alway say the real work is up to us.. Food is our drug of choice and a non food addict really just doesn't understand this.. It's what I controlled when I had no control over all that was going on in my life.. " Do you think you changed your addiction from food to exercise or is food still your addiction you just have it controlled? Also is your eating automatic meaning you eat the same things for the most part everyday? I have your meal ideas you sent me, I was just wondering. I saw somewhere if you can automake 1 meal everyday that is less to worry about meaning having the same thing for Breakfast. I guess that would be boring but then you knew what you were eating and did not have to think about it that could help. My problem is planning food. I can plan dinner for the house but I forget about me when shopping, except I always by greek yogurt. That is what I have to learn to do plan for me in regards to food. Somehow I miss the part where Julie's band was being removed. I agree I pray the band might have been the problem all along and having it remove might get rid of all her pain.

Hi Lcwils01 - and Welcome Yes I had a pre-op but only for 1 week and 2 days of that were Clear liquids as I had my colonoscopy 7/13 and then surgery 7/17. My pre-op consisted of - Optifast oatmeal for Breakfast - optifast great Protein bars for Snacks 2 - lunch a shake and dinner salmon and salad or veggies. My doc provided the food (well except for the fish & salads) After surgery 10 days full liquids (incl creamed Soups sf pudding sf yogurt sf fudgecicles) 10 days mushies - 10 days soft and then on to regular food.. It was a little tough (pre-op as my son's bd was 7/15) but I made it thru.. I was lucky - it took me only 6 weeks to get surgery - I didn't have to do the 6 month diet - But I had tons of test - sleep, breathing, heart - had to do a nuclear stress test - mamo - pap - blood 14 vials - shrink - nutristionst.. Hugs Janet

Good Afternoon Gang It's sure been quite today !!!! Well today is my off day from the gym - so I have a load of wash in - and that's about it... food today - BF Yogurt & 4 oz of Lamb lunch WW Enchillda dinner - Well it's only 5 I haven't eaten yet but it will be fish rice & veggie Snacks haven't had any yet - but it will most likely be popcorn & healthy choice fudgecicle - or maybe these mini banana muffins I made from firberone mix - but I only use 1 tsp oil - instead of whatever it called for I used applesauce and instead of 2 eggs - I used egg beater... and I made mini ones not regular size - I am good with 2 mini's - 1 reg would be 160 cal so I am guessing my 2 little is about 100
-
Had a conversation with my husband about my diet. I haven't had one these last 2 weeks and it has to be very unhealthy. I have to have times to eat, what to eat, a plan. So this morning I ate 2oz of Greek yogurt. Still got that horrible pain at the bottom of my breatbone. I'm guessing that's the stuck thing I dunno. Then terrible cramping. I can't live on water alone...
-
Well I made it through day 1 and I lost 3lbs, so that gives some motivation at least. Also I realized I can blend my shakes with nonfat yogurt, which has changed my world! haha. Also, blending it with coffee is delicious.

I think I do have restriction! Today I had a yogurt smoothie for breakfast and it felt like it didn't want to go down. So for lunch I had another one and same thing. I have had a little restriction early in the morning off and on from the beginning, but this is really tight. I can't wait to try supper tonight!

Thanks for checking in!!! Congrats on getting your date! I knew everything would work out good for you!!!! I've lost about 23 pounds. The 20 pounds came off really fast, the last 3 were really hard though. I just went back to work so that helped, I have not started excersizing though, and I am pretty much eating the same types of food every day, yogurt, soup, water, protein shake, so that can't be great for my metabolism. I'm pretty optimistic though, my work pants were sliding off my butt when I went back to work, (I'm a banquet waitress and wear the whole tuxedo shirt/pants/tie/vest combo lol.) I'm so glad things are going well for you!!! The pre-op diet is super rough yes, but now that I am eating more normal foods, that is all a thing of the past and I feel great. Right after surgery, I was miserable and nauseous, I was filled with regret. But now I have come through to the other side, I feel great!!!! Keep in touch!!!

I was just banded on May 12, 2008. Prior to my surgery my nutritionist had a list of stages and foods that were allowed. What stage are you in? I might be able to give you a list of what you can have. I am in stage III and able to have cream soup that was provided (tomato and cream of chicken) I just add 6 oz of hot water and its delicious. Also, I can have sugar free pudding, popsicles, crystal light flavors in my water and of course my protein drinks that were provided and they are 15 oz of protein each. I can also have Dannon carb and suger control yogurt. I do not feel as if I am missing out on anything. I just also received a recipe with four cheese mash potatoes and chicken broth and its the best potato soup! I am staying with around 70 grams of protein daily and 64 oz of water (liquids, crystal light). I am only allowed products that have 5 oz or less of fat and sugars. I really am paying attention to the fats and sugars!

Day two down this isn't so bad 3 shakes, 4 slices of turkey, one vanilla Greek yogurt and all the soup broth, sugar free jello,and Popsicles i can eat COOL

I have to admit that this Pre-Op diet is harder than I thought it would be. I really wanted to eat a regular meal yesterday for Valentine's Day and I talked to my husband about it. He convinced me to stick to the diet, but it was SO hard!! Just hang there and get back on the horse today and you will be fine. I think postop that you can have yogurt, pudding, jello, broth and protein shakes for the first week and then move into soft foods and then finally solid food. I think it just depends on how your body reacts to them as to when or how soon you have them. My surgery is scheduled for early at 7:30 am, but I have to be there at 6am. It's like it will never get here, but you know it will! Good luck and hang in there!
