What Are My Fellow Bandsters Drinking In The Morning



Recommended Posts

I'm was a huge coffee drinker with reg flavored Creamer. Since being banded I've switched to Decaf but haven't had much coffee I miss it but I don't feel like I enjoy it as much as I use to. I've tried to drink out with sf creamer but it's not the same. Are my diehard coffee drinkers drinking something else that is just as satisfying? do you allow yourself your reg coffee with your reg cream?

I drink coffee just like I used to. I stick to lower calorie versions of things I like. At home I make a pitcher of coffee with all the added stuff (sweetener, creamer) and stick it in the fridge. Since I like iced coffee, the cold coffee is ready to go for the week. If I need to make more, I do. I have 1 coffee a day and try to stick to Water as much as possible. It doesn't always work.

I also like energy drinks. I've found that the Monster Rehab ones are non-carbonated and have around 10 cals/serving. I keep drink mix packets with me to jazz up my water so I don't get bored. Just some ideas. Making your stuff at home is cheaper and you know EXACTLY what's going in it.

1 scoop of vanilla Unjry to my black coffee takes the place of the cream and sugar, GOOD STUFF, I get my protien, warms up my band so lunch goes through a little easier, a little pick me up and helps things move through the system a little faster WIN WIN

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
