Hi Brenda- I admit I have a sweet tooth- I was never a big Pasta fan- Isn't it strange how differently we all get our carbohydrates. Actually I ate the cookie on the ninth day- Not only did I not get sick- I ate three more Cookies the next day - grazing one of each flavor. That is why the gained weight stayed with me for so long. I now am 23 days post op and 12 lbs lost.

I also have a sweet tooth. I have been sucking on hard sugar free candies and that seems to satisfy me. My favorite thing is licorice and I don't think that will go down well so I won't have to worry. I am not a chocolate eater thank goodness so no worry there either. I am trying to get over all that now while I am still on liquids. I am down 14 pounds now and looking forward to getting under 200 it has been about 15 years since I was there.

hugs Bren

This is the best list that I have found so far! I am to be banded on the 13th and both my husband and I were getting a bit concerned as I was not really getting the info that I wanted as to what I could have and how much. This list is such a blessing and we thank you for taking the time to post it!

I also bought the magic bullet and use it for all my Soups to puree them and I love it. Anyone have a really good Protein Shake you recommend??

This list is just wonderful and since I am getting banded next Wednesday, I was getting a bit concerned that I just didn't quite have the hang of what all I could and couldn't have. Thanks for putting list out here for all to see!

Hey HarleyNana,

I got the Magic Bullet for Christmas, and I love it!!! I can't get it to chop onions -- they turn to mush -- which is great for bandsters. It does shakes and smoothies very well. Let me know if you get one!

BRENDAFRANCES,

I bought a Protein Drink mix from GNC called Nature's Best Perfect Low Carb Isopure. It's pretty good. I also tried one called Lean Body for Her. It gets really thick, and it tastes ok. EAS Advant Edge Carb Control is ready to drink, tastes pretty good, and you can get it at most stores. I tried Arbonne Figure 8 Weight Loss shakes, but I didn't care for the taste. But everyone has different tastes.

There are so many variations on the "stages". I was banded on Monday, 2/11 and on a low fat full liquid diet. I can have up to 6 (1/4 cup) liquid "meals" a day. I can have the following: chicken or beef broth, strained cream of mushroom or cream of chicken Soup, egg drop soup, sf ice pops, sf Jello, sf Carnation Instant Breakfast, skim milk, soy milk or lactaid milk and Protein Shakes. In addition, I have to try to get in 30-45 ounces of Clear Liquids between liquid meals. This includes: Water, crystal light, sf jello or ice pops, diet snapple, decaffeinated coffee or tea, or any non-carbonated calorie-free liquid.

What about adding extra Protein with the protein powders you can buy at GNC, Add them to your drinks? Or oatmeal and such. How about baby food...like the meats? mix them with a drink they don't have much taste?

Glad I like some mushy foods LOL

Hope to be banded before July.

OK what about swimming, anyone know what you do about that?

We have a pool and spend 90% of the summer in and around it when it's very hot here, which isn't that often in New England, but we love it?

How soon after surgery can you go in?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
