What are you eating this morning? Are you preparing youself for life after your band?

I'm just having a Carnation instant Breakfast (vanilla, altho I like the SFchocolate better) and some fruit...trying to get ready for my (non required) pre op diet.

Those on pre op diet, feel free to post what you're eating (drinking) too! Give us some good ideas!

I had Fiber One cereal this morning.

It's so funny you posted this this morning. At this moment I am eating oatmeal and slithered almonds out of my kids bowl, using one of their spoons. I had it in mind today to use these utensils more often.

Thanks for the post! We are right on point!

Oooooo, that's a good one! I have toddlers, so I have the bowls and spoons to use...I'm going to have to try that...that is if they let me..lol..

I had a optifast shake and 4 oz of OJ (for the added potassium). I am on day two of this and my stomach is talking big time. I am hungry! I'm sticking to it though but it's gonna be a really tough two weeks.

Could it be the acid from the OJ? Can you have a banana instead? I ask only cause I want to know what other options I or others may have when we get to your stage of the "renewal"

i know, my daughter was looking at me like i was crazy. i am going on a mad hunt for some smaller plates and bowls. it's sad to say but nowadays a lot of the dinnerware is so large to accomodate the large portions we've become accustomed to. i'm going to check the thrift stores first. i don't think they will let me keep using their stuff. 2 year olds are so tempermental...lol!!!

I am going to have a vanilla protein drink and I add about 1/2 tsp. Of banana extract to it alond with a pack or two of splendid. It is really good,

You can substitute the banana extract for vanilla, orange, maple, chocolate, almond, etc.....I also add crushed ice sometimes and it taste like a thick creamy shake.

Let me know if you like it.

Im having a chocolate shake mixed with a cap full of sugarfree caramel syrup...yum it's good

Starting on day 5 of preop.....so far so good...

Our diet consists of 3 shakes a day and 250 calories of veggies......

I used baby utensils after banding and I feel like it helped me learn what size bites to take. I filled up the baby spoon halfway each time I took a bite. I found them to be really helpful.

This morning I am having Unjury Chocoloate splendor protein powder with Silk lite soymilk, blended with a little ice. It's my protein milkshake.

I ate almost the same breakfast preband as I do now. Chobani fat free Yoghurt with fruit, half scoop Vanilla whey Isolate protein powder and splendra. Post band I add benefiber and 1/4 cup Kashi Go Crunch (high protein) cereal.
