smoothies are thick.. How do you get it all in?



Recommended Posts

I bought the Pacifac Chai Low Carb vanilla at kroger's. I am not sure what stores you have where you live. But I do know that Kroger's carries it. If not ask your supermarket to get it in. I had to ask mine to get in no sugar carnation instant Breakfast.

I am finally on food. Have been for a week.

I drink Water when I get up

Protein shake on the way to work - not too thick, I am getting this down.

1 scrambled egg or yogurt for Breakfast

Water

meat and veggie for lunch

water

Protein Shake on the way home from work

water

dinner

water - if I can get it down. A lot of times after dinner I am not eat or drink anything until I go to bed. I stay full for so long with dinner

This was was a little hard as mother nature called and I really wanted chocolate.

I had a little and spit it out. It did not even taste good to me anymore.

Gotta love that.

I would not go that far, I just had some McDonald's fro breakfast. I will say that that is the first time I have ever not eaten a whole breakfast sandwhich. Let alone not even half of one and with only half of the bread part.

I am not a perfect bandster by far. I have cheated and over eaten. I have a real hard time thinking of what 2 oz are. I know that I eat a lot more then that at each meal. Well lunch and dinner. I eat way too fast. I have not had a PB yet or get anything stuck in my stoma. But I know that I will be one that needs a fill at 6 weeks out. I can already tell the diffence in my hunger. I try to control it but last night I ate until I hurt. I was soooo hungry and over ate. Did not get sick, but I know that I ate too much.

From what I have read on here though I will only be able to eat the 2 oz after a fill. Then my weight loss will start moving again. I lost most the week before on liquids and the first week after surgery. I did not lose anything the 2nd week and now am about 3 pounds a week.

I still have a hard time getting in my Water. I am getting in 32 oz of Water, plus 16 oz of milk. I try to get in a little bit more at work, but it is hard.

You have done very well yourself New Hope. 180, I cannot wait to see that again I was that when I got pregnant with my daughter.

hey mom.....

i don't know about you, but, i don't think anyone is a perfect bandster... it didn't take 3 months to put the weght on,,,, it takes time to retrain your mind, and your body...i had a fill done about 6 weeks into it, it made a huge difference.... i'm actually considering anotherone...but i want to make sure it's the right thing... i can eat more that 2 ounces..... but i don't have the hunger pains i use to before the filll... the hard part for me is not to eat between meals and late night snacking, even though i'm not hungry.... like i said, it's a lot of retraining the mind..... best wishes.... you're doing great... don't give up...

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
