Cool Websites!



Recommended Posts

Okay so I am in the same boat as you guys. Lapband forum has been my lifeline-but I need to branch out and do more research and be inspired! I bought the book Bandwagon by Jean McMillan (which I highly recommend all bandsters getting a copy). Well in the back of the book she lists some websites and I thought I'd share a few. I haven't checked them all out yet but you might get inspired to try something new or simply stay motivated or simply peek and see all the resources that are out there!

patient's blog with great recipes and food ideas

*I read her blog and really felt like I CAN do this! I think she had gastric bypass but the recipes and tips are awesome. She made shopping for food sound like fun.

a WLS patient's often humorous and sometimes contentious blog, with product reviews and recipes (I will check out her site next)

Outta room! I'll share more later!:P

Thanks for the info!!

I ordered the book yesterday after you recommended it, and can't wait to read it!!! I already subscribe to theworldaccordingtoeggface's blog and find her very informative and funny!

I am not banded yet (June 20!) but looking forward to being part of the Bandsters group. I am addicted to LBT and want to find out all I can for pre-op AND for my life after jumping on the Bandwagon!

Thanks for sharing!! :D

Thank you for the links. I ordered the book from Amazon yesterday after you posted it. It should arrive Wednesday and I can't wait. Thanks for all the help. How are you feeling today?

Always glad to share! Eggfaces website is awesome with yummy recipes!! I love how she takes a pic of each step of the recipe. Meltingmommas website seems to basically give you an idea of what's out there. I might purchase a cookbook for banders once I get to that stage. I should really start a file of recipes. I was reading earlier about a banana on a grill (just open 1 peel, spread PN butter, SF choc sauce mini marshmellows seal up wrap in foil and put on grill for 5 minutes -top with whipped cream-wow what a mushie!!!).

WEESIE- I am doing fine thank you! I am thinking of going to the boardwalk or at least somewhere outdoors but I am not sure, it might be way too crowded. How are you doing? How old are your kids? I think you said you have 6!! Wow! Are they all supportive of your WLS? I haven't told my 2 girls yet.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
