Looking at everything everyone else eats makes me feel bad, because i eat alot almost as if i never had the surgery. I've had fills, and unfills, and refills. I have lately just felt hungry alot. I was told no breads, Peanut Butter, no carbs. I have followed all that, and still feel like i'm not loosing enough. Maybe just not as quickly as I would like, I guess. I have my really bad days though...baked chips...love them. Tring to add more fruits and vegetables.

Looking at your ticker, it looks like you have done a great job. If you are feeling hungry, maybe it's time for another fill? I know that some of the saline can evaporate over time, so maybe you need to be topped off a bit. I did the low carb thing for a while, mainly because I was afraid of losing my hair. Well, I'm losing it anyway, so I've decided to start adding in some veggies and fruits. I still stay away from bread, because I don't think I could handle it right now. I try to eat between 800-1000 calories a day.

What about exercise, are you getting in enough? I have no right to tell anyone to exercise, because I haven't been doing any lately, but for now, I am still losing, thank goodness. Maybe you could try to bump it up a little, at least until you pass your plateau?

When were you banded?

[confused 4]

i was banded Jan.18, 2007. I still see those weight lose ads on tv and think maybe i should try that, not that i have since surgery.

Thanks for making me take a look at my ticker.:biggrin2: I just feel like i could loose more then i loose a month.

I just got banded on 2/22/08. I thought we wouldn't be able to eat breads or crackers. Any ideas about the liquid phase.

I would talk to your Dr about your Post Op Phases of liquids/mushy/soft foods. My Doc did not tell me Not to eat breads or crackers ** I have a hard time w/them, so I tend not to eat them**.

 

A half a cup of food will not satisfy me one bit / nor was that my recommended measurement. I was told to eat 3 high Protein meals a day (preferred not liquid meals)...You'll find just about every surgeon has a different set of guidelines...Good Luck to You~

 

today:

b - 3oz FF yogurt w/ 1/4c granola

l - 3oz LF cottage cheese & 3 oz of deli thin turkey

d - 4oz beef briskette & 1/4c ranch Beans

s - handful of walnuts

Can you give me suggestions on the liquid diet. I ate cream Soups because they said anything that run of a spoon but they are more like baby food. i don't want to cause any future problems. What did you do for the first two weeks post op.

[luluc 6]

I lived on Atkin Low Carb Protein Shakes / Egg Drop Soup - Fat Free Ice Pops / Fat Free yougurt - pudding the first 2 wks....

Check out this link for Ideas - There's a lot to sift through, but you can get some ideas for the next 4 wks of your healing process:

Embarrassed to post what I ate today:embaressed_smile:. Root canal went fine. I had never had one before so I was really worried. Opted for the nitrous:thumbup:, worth every penny. Back on track tomorrow!! Can't wait till another fill.

 

As for the full liquid phase, I lived off yogurt and pudding! Try greek yogurt, its packed with Protein and low in calories, also thicker than other yogurt so much more filling!!
