Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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. :huh:

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.< /p>

Let me know if you like it.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
