Yesterday:

B: Morningstar veggie sausage patty, egg, reduced fat cheese, light English muffin

 

L: Turkey/avocado/bacon/spinach on Mountain bread whole wheat (a new find - a flat bread from Australia that holds together much better than the low carb tortillas and has 14g carb and 3g Protein - I got it at Trader Joes)

 

S: South Beach Diet snack bar

 

D: Fage yogurt, honey, Kashi GoLean

 

 

Today:

B: Fage yogurt, honey, Kashi GoLean

 

L: Turkey/avocado/spinach on WW mountain bread

 

S: Apple with almond butter mixed with ground flaxseed

 

D: Morningstar veggie sausage patty, egg, half English muffin

 

 

Did you grind your flaxseed or did you buy it? I want to eat more raw fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds after my band and am worried about the nuts and seeds going down.

I buy the Cafe Mocha at my local grocery store and the Caramel Latte at a local vitamin/health food store called Clark's.

I know these flavors are available online at Amazon.com and drugstore.com, problem is the cost of shipping :biggrin:

Thanks Bloo, I'll see if I can't find them somewhere other than Walmart (which is the only place I've checked so far). Appreciate the response. be well.

Jess - My understanding is that you don't get the good stuff out of the flaxseed unless you grind it, so I grind it.

I've had larger nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans) several times since being banded, and I eat sesame seeds without a problem as well.

I have started sliming again, all the time no matter what I eat, and yes I chew. I know I am not able to eat rice, hard boiled eggs, Pasta, bread etc, but the last few days, no matter what I eat doesn't stay down. Liquids are no problem, but I feel a head cold coming on. Does anyone else have this problem when they are getting sick?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
