If I have the time, I cook a sausage patty, scramble an egg, stack it, and melt a slice of cheese over the top, and split it---more of a 2/3 & 1/3 split, giving my 2 yr old granddaughter the bigger half! If I don't do that I will have part of a container of yogurt with granola. Or some cereal, with milk. I have also been known to eat leftovers for breakfast. My favorite used to be spaghetti---now I must eat a small amount at dinner, and for breakfast, just can't do it!!! I will eat a left over piece of steak, or a burger or something like that though. I too find myself thinking less about food through the day, if I start it out by eating. Kat

Good afternoon band fans...I got my fill on May 16th-2007. I was told to work with the fill for a week and see what I feel like. I got some mixed reactions on this. I wake up each day--to eat a 4 or 6 oz yogurt. Then I take any meds I need to take. I can no longer take medications on a empty stomach. I am finding the big pain--the hunger pain each morning. Then some foods now is not my thing. I have since thrown up 3 times. I am shocked. I mean--2 out of 3 times--I had no food in my stomach. Anyway--yesterday--I called--my Drs nurse. The office says she will redo my fill on June 13th. The reason--my Dr is on a maturnity leave. So I will have to wait. It's ok...I am still going to hit the track--the road for more cardio on my bike. Maybe--It's a touch and go...Lee

Pre-Op Diet, Shrunk Liver
Marty McSkinnystein commented on dlahouston's blog entry in HOUSTON SLEEVES
night 2-- went shopping today and got SUCH a variety of things so I won't be bored with plain old chocolate shakes. My favorite-- cream of wheat w/cinnamon. It's on the list of things allowed 5 times a day-- with yogurt, pureed soups, sugar free applesauce. I'm mixing it up. I was so depressed earlier today and am starting to feel better. Tomorrow I cut back even more on coffee (everyday I'm going a little less). -
sick of "mushies" Will I ever use Magic Bullet again?
socalgal3 replied to amrdmr's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Just try to remember being on liquids and dreaming of something mushy! I remember that first yogurt.....it was so good after broth! Definitely keep that Magic Bullet handy for after fills! You will get through this as we all did! The benefits of the sacrifice will amaze you! -
Banded 4/3 and going out for SIL's BD
waterlily1072 replied to singandsew's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That's interesting about no milk my surgeon tells 16oz of milk each day and that is supposed to be our only liquid calories. I choose yogurt instead though and only have one, I'm such a rebel, lol. And yes shakes are super high in sugar, but I was told that during the first 2 weeks I could have anything that I could suck through a straw and that while he didn't want me to have a shake a day that I could have one if I wanted because I wa in the healing phase. He wasn't concerned about weight loss yet. If worse comes to worse they can always bring you some herbal tea, they might even have broth. -
Have a surgery date! Pre-op diet needed! :(
joe7777 replied to luv2bingo07's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am being banded at the tlbc and this is their pre-op diet recommendation, remember...the reason that you do this is not necessarily to lose weight, it is to shrink your liver, you want to make it as easy as possible for the surgeon to have access to your stomach. The TLBC says this diet works best and it's cheap. For me its 10 days *quantities are not specified, you can have as much as you need of the following items. You may also have foods that have negligible caloric or nutritional value such as the following: coffee, tea, diet drinks(crystal light), sugar free jell-o and salt & spices. This is the diet Cottage cheese -choose low fat or non fat varieties Yogurt -Opt for low fat or non fat yogurt. Flavored yogurts are acceptable, as long as they are artificially sweetened Milk -Drink 1% or Skim, flavored or sweetened milk is NOT a recommended option Water -make sure you drink a minimum of 1.5 liters a day. Hope this helps you. Financially, its cheaper. And it works, its time tested on TLBC patients. -
I didn't have to do liquids but I had to do a 2 week high protein, low carb diet they gave me. I have been sore but the pain from surgery has not been as bad as the gas. I was on full liquids until yesterday, then I started mushies. Yesterday I ate yogurt and some pintos and cheese from Taco Bell. I have no nausea but I have been taking it very slow with my eating. Feel free to contact me anytime and I wish you the best of luck.

Is this what it the band is suppose to do???
mypov replied to icuwalsh's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm sorry you're not having an easy time! From what I've heard from others, you can be overfilled even by .1cc or so! you never know what a big difference a tiny amount of saline can do. Anyway, if you are throwing up all the time, something needs to change. If yogurt is a problem, you could definitely be overfilled. chicken is a problem for lots of people and sometimes adding something like gravy to it helps. Anyway, of course you need to eat slow and really chew, but since it sounds like you are already doing that, I would look into getting an adjustment. PS- I prefer to call it an adjustment rather than a fill or unfill because sometimes people think of an "unfill" is like taking a step backwards-but there is NO benefit to being having an incorrect "adjustment level". Good luck!! -
what about yogurt, cream of wheat, oatmeal, and most of all protein shakes. You probably are getting enough protein if you drink 1 and 1/2 isopures a day

I'm still on mushies and 20 days post-op. I've been eating soup with a little more substance, added a cracker yesterday, cottage cheese, yogurt, fudgecycles, pudding, soft boiled egg smashed up with a little mayo & mustard is really good. I tried tuna salad today with mayo and mixed it really good. YUM I was told to gradually add things to my diet. By the end of 3 weeks the Dr. wants me to have tried bread and meat. I did "cheat" Friday. I had three french fries from McDonalds, but in my defense, I smashed them with a fork first and mixed them with ketchup! I keep telling myself this is the time to heal. If my head hunger gets too bad I go grab a SF popcycle and that can usually distract me. Good luck

Ok, I am in the pureed stage. i went out and bought all the stuff the nut said. I have canned salmon, chicken, cream of chicken and mushroom soups, yogurts, applesauce, malt o meal. Now what do I do with it. I was thinking of salmon, but with what? I would def. chew it good, but do you guys have some recipes. I haven't been horribly hungry since my surgery on Thursday, but I am starting hear a grumbling voice in my stomach. I even bought the lite miracle whip. I mean do I put the chicken with the mayo and have just that? Hmm are crackers permissible? I think this surgery is starting to get REAL. Honeymoon is over, I'm about to kick butt with some recipes for the next 2 weeks with your help

Sorry..hit a button and off it went to be posted before I was ready. Anyways, Can you guys give me an idea of what kind of things that you are eating. I am only eating/slurping yogurt drink, yogurt, Soups, Water, and crystal light. I have tried to take some Multivitamin and Calcium but they really made a mess of my tummy. Maybe because I wasn't eating enough. What do you guys think?

<p><img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/help.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Help" smilieid="256" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p>Hi all; I need any and all remedies for getting off a darn plateau. First I would like to ask if any of track calories and/or protein for the day. I guess I need a little more structure meal planning wise. I am lactose intolerant so I can't do the cottage cheese/yogurt thing. When I have a protein drink I mix it with non-fat lactose free milk and it is quite good. I have writing down what I eat daily and can now see my trouble time is between 6pm and 8pm..I walk daily for 30 minutes, my nurse said to vary with free weights cause your body gets used to the same exercise routine and you stop losing..looking forward to your hints!</p> <p>Sheila<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/hungry.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Hungry" smilieid="262" class="inlineimg" /></p>

I actually tried the Greek yogurt for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I took my dietitian's advice and added a shot or two of the MIO drink mix to mine. It was very doable. I want to try the ranch mix, though, now! Gotta hold off until I can have raw veggies again.

I'm not HUNGRY, but I am getting a little BORED...
madfroglady replied to NanaRenan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Nana -- I was banded the same day as you and am facing the same boredom. Luckily my doc is a bit more liberal with the full liquids: anything thin enough to go through a straw, but no chunks. You can maybe call your doc and see if he/she can loosen up the restrictions a bit? Yesterday I tried mixing not-fat plain yogurt with fruit juice to make a kind of smoothie. It was much more interesting to drink than the Protein shakes. the mad frog lady. -
Having a hard time....
Elode replied to TieraLeone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The stages are a lot of trial and error. I know when I Was going through the stages one day I would LOVE something say yogurt, and the next day the thought of it made me want to puke and I couldn't eat it. If your stomach isn't handling certain foods it's ok to back track a little and stay with something you can handle then try again later and you may end up with a different result. I am over 6 weeks out and some days I can eat good and others I just Want my shakes and little food. Eventually it will all even out just makes sure your getting in your fluids, protein, and vitamins! Take your time with the foods. Are you taking b vitamins to help with energy? -

Time for Liquid Diet and SCARED... HELP!!!
BlueEyedBaby replied to StacieM's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been on the liquid diet since last Tuesday. I was kinda nervous about it at first but I have challenged myself to find different "allowable" liquids to "eat" so I won't get bored with it. There are many different types of liquid diets but the one I am on allows me to have a limited amt of cottage cheese and yogurt so I do get a little variety. Beyond that, as long as it is sugar free/low carb and liquid I can have it. I have discovered several types of "broth" Soups. I fill up on egg drop Soup and have tried a new recipe that I will soon use as a "gravy" for different meals. I truely loved the taste. Just mix 1 can of Campbells beef consume' soup (It is a broth type soup but do not use beef broth) and one can of cheddar cheese soup and heat to boiling. I also have added a small can of tomato sauce to it along with a touch of splenda to take the sour out of the tomato. It is scrumptous. Low cal and low carb. If you will view it as a challenge, it makes it easier to handle. Hang in there, you will do great! :whoo: -
I try to stay under 60g of carbs a day. So not really low carb but definitely not normal carb amount. If I do have carbs they come from a Protein bar that I grab as a quick Breakfast or my yogurt. My typical day: Breakfast: Protein shake or bar Snack: Greek Yogurt or cheese (Whether cheese stick or mini babybell light) Lunch: Some type of meat and cheese -- sometimes tuna salad others light salami Snack: part of Protein Bar or yogurt Dinner: Meat cooked however -- usually chicken or pork Snack: Metamucil Fiber pink lemonade Water mix and maybe later some cheese and a pickle Mind you, I start my day at 6 am and end around midnight or 1am On a typical day I eat about 45 g of carbs and 70 g of protein with around 700 calories

Tomorrow will be my week bandiversary. Over this past week Ive felt good, Ive felt like crap. Ive cried, Ive laughed (while holding my stomach!) Ive RUN To the bathroom, and Ive come to this site alot. Ive walked to the end of my road and back so much that I think my neighbors think Im stalking them. Several of the recent January Bandsters said "hang in there, come day 6 or 7 you will turn the corner. Boy where they right! I feel amazing today!!!! Still having left sided pain when i breath in too deep but I can live with that. At my 1ST follow up, my scale matched the doctors, so 16lbs down (11 from surgery date). It was nice to review things with the nurse educator after I saw the Dr. I keep reading over my material to make sure im on track. Today I graduated to mushies! And I have to say 1/2 c. Cottage cheese never tasted so good to chew. Im finding creative ways to get my protein in without drinking a protein drink. My yogurt was 8g protein so i added 12g protein powder giving my plain yogurt some flavor all while getting in 20g protein! I think another imperative spirit lifter was seeing my co-workers today. Everyone knows i had surgery so Im not in the "fat closet". It was great having everyone tell me how great i look and how my boobs have shrunk! ( guess that was a compliment?) Lol. Today was a beautiful day! Im looking forward to many many more!

I was banded on the east coast and I have been provided with a plan from my nutritionist. Stage 1 - Full Liquid: fruit juices (dilute 1/2 with water), pre-made yogurt drinks, cow's milk, soy milk, Lactaid milk, tomato or V8 juice. hot cereals made very runny - oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits. Soups, broth, strained cream Soup, tomato soup, thicker soups would have to be put into the blender to make them smooth. Protein drinks, EAS Advantage, Atkins Advantage, Permalean, nectar, Designer whey, Any Whey, Isopure. I drink Isopure.....it comes in a 20 oz bottle, but I feel like I am over stretching my stomach when I drink the entire bottle to get the 40g of protein. Jello, popsicles, pudding - sugar free yogurt - dannon light and carb countdown Phase 2 - pureed diet - weeks 3 & 4 consistency of smooth applesauce, baby food Applesauce, instant mashed potatoes, saltines or oyster crackers, soft scrambled egg or soft boiled egg, low fat cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, sliced cheese, creamy Peanut Butter, mashed cooked Beans or refried beans, creamy tuna (use chuck light in water) or egg salad. During stage 2, eat only 1/4 cup at a time, every 4 hours. And no drinking 30 minutes before or after eating. Phase 3 - after week 4 cut up foods into small pieces and use good judgement. I hope this helps! I still don't know how many ounces of liquid to take in at a time during the first phase. I think I over did it last night with drinking 10 oz of hot cider and then about 30 minutes later, 6 spoons of cream soup. I was not comfortable!

Hi - I too was banded on 4/28/08! During my pre-op testing it was discovered that I had many gall stones, as well as a hietal (sp?) hernia. Had to have the gall bladder removed, hernia repaired and was banded all at the same time. I'm on liquids as well as soft foods (shredded cheese, yogurt..); not hungry at all. Judy
