Please Help Me Plan :)



Recommended Posts

So I thought it might be fun (and very, very helpful for myself and others) to try to generate some menu ideas. I do not do well without a plan and it takes me FOREVER! to write up menus for myself. I know we cannot all eat the same things sometimes but who better to know what a good lapband day should look like than my fellow lapbanders. So if you could tell me what you would eat for a whole day while following the lapband rules and even how you prepare the food (if you like) I would be so very appreciative :)

I'm still on mushies and have lots to learn! Here's my day:

Breakfast: GNC Total Lean shake, 8 oz caffeinated coffee, 4 oz milk, 1tsp sugar free vanilla Syrup

Lunch: 1/2 tuna packet with 1 tbsp low-fat olive oil mayo, 1/4 whole wheat toasted bagel thin, 1/2 cup diced watermelon

Snack: Isopure zero carb grape drink

Dinner: 1/2 cup chicken tortilla Soup (without tortilla), 1 oz shredded low fat cheese, 1 tbsp fat free sour cream

Desert: sugar free chocolate pudding

Fluid intake: 96oz Water, 8oz crystal light

Does anyone eat flour tortillas? Will I ever be able to have one of those again?

Have any of you tried cooking those little meals in cupcake pans?

I am going to make muffin tin breakfasts tonight for the next week.

I am planning on using the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, liquid egg (probably southwest flavor), fat free cheddar, and some veggies (maybe some onion and mixed pepper).

Lunches would be nice, but I don't know what I would make. I see meatloafs and other foods that don't look too healthy.

My goal this week is to 100% plan my food and keep calories at 1200 or less with at least 45 minutes of exercise most days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
