April Bandits Food Thread!!!!!



Recommended Posts

So well here goes the first thread for us all. Three questions

1- What stage of eating are you at now? :biggrin1:

Me I am at liquids but more mushier, fuller liquids, been trying a few things like avocado and blended black Beans, go to mushies on Wednesday:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?:biggrin1:

Mine is blended black Beans and a dash of blended avocado, also pumpkin Soup, yummy, I am getting good at making my own...........even my friends children liked it, I think the secret is to add a rasher of bacon.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?:biggrin1:

It would have to be curries with chicken and fish and sushi for me..........hope they will agree with me later.........

Ok lets see how this practice thread goes for us

:eek: Love from Amourette:hungry: :hungry: :hungry:

1. I am at regular foods stage right now.

2. I don't have a favorite food, just trying to eat healthfully until I get my first fill on June 6th.

3. I miss pizza and Pasta. Haven't had any since surgery. Since I have no restriction until the fill, I plan on having some before then.

1. liquids to Mushies--almost three weeks out. I make a really good Protein Drink (Vanilla whey Protein Powder from GNC; 1 banana; skim milk; ice; sometimes I add a sugar-free hot choc. packet to give it some choc. flavor)

2. Found some really good Soups at Kroger's: organic sweet potato, cream of broc., potato leak, and butter-nut squash. They come in cartons--you just pour into pan and heat--no adding Water or milk. I usually put a little bit of sour cream in with some tasteless Protein powder---mmmmm-delicious! Oh, and I be lovin' my sugar-free choc. pudding AND sugar-free tropical flavor popsicles.

3. I really am missing Papa John's pizza! Ironically enough, I'm not missing sweets, which used to be my biggest problem!

Love and peace to all,

Dana :)

1. I'm still on "full liquids" (ie. thicker than just "clear" liquids)...I start mushies on 13 May and solids on 27 May. My first fill is 2 Jun.

2. Fave food right now...ummmm...can't say I really have one....maybe the butterscotch pudding (yeah, they count that as a full liquid...go figure!).

3. What do I miss the most: ummm....oh were to start!!! chips of course (my downfall) and the "Perogie Pizza" at Boston pizza (the absolute BEST)...and FRENCHFRIES!!!!

Good luck to all!!! AND...keep up the great work all you April Bandits!!!

1- What stage of eating are you at now?

Still on full liquids...unfortunitly. I am meeting with my doc on Thursday and will be going to mushies at that point. Believe me, Thursday cannot come quick enough, I never thought I would be so excited to eat mushie foods.

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?

I think my favorite food is the protien drink I make in the mornings which has around 36g of protien. It consists of whole foods brand vanilla protien powder, fat free chocolate stonyfield yogurt, and skim milk. Very good actually.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?

Honestly, I had no cravings at all until the last couple of days, and what I keep craving is a juicy cheeseburger and spicey fries...however, my desire to be healthy and thin is much stronger than my food cravings...at least today.

Good luck to you all, I feel lucky to have found this group of people all baded the same month! I know we will continue to support and be supported by one another for lots of time to come.

What stage are you in now-

Mushies - started a few days ago - going slow because I am a nervous nelly about putting food down there

Favorite food at this stage:

I like Peanut Butter mixed with banana and oatmeal for Breakfast - tastes pretty yummy

Missing what food-

Nothing yet - but I am sure it's coming once I get through the cautious stage I am in now. It's funny my family eats right in front of me but I don't feel a need to have some.

1- What stage of eating are you at now? :biggrin1:

I am technically still on liquids. However, my doctor said I could have scrambled eggs this weekend, and I did tonight and was in absolute heaven. I see him Monday and should be on full mushies then.

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?:biggrin1:

:biggrin1: Definitely those scrambled eggs, yum.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?:biggrin1:

How much space am I allowed to take up? Actually, the thing I am really craving is a big ol' chef salad with ranch dressing.

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
