Yeah, the beef stew is definitely a winner. I had some last night over mashed potatoes. I'm planning to do a pot roast/beef stew in the crock pot which will be great for me and my dh loves it, too.

Casseroles are allowed on my food plan. I've had squash casserole for the past few meals.

Avocado, hummus and refried Beans have also been my saviors.

A couple of times I made a little mix with the canned chicken, refried Beans, salsa or creamy salsa dip, low fat cheese and fat-free cream cheese. Yum! Another idea is the fat-free cream cheese, a little light ranch, canned chicken, hot sauce and low-fat cheese heated together - tastes like buffalo chicken wings. That's the allowed version of my favorite buffalo chicken dip.

V8 and Tomato juice also curb my "appetite" when I want something salty. The 5.5 oz cans are perfect. I keep them in desk at work.

Why has my doctor told me not to have anything to drink 15 minutes before I eat and then an hour after... never with a meal? What's the purpose?

liquid will wash the food right through your band and you will lose that full filling sooner.

You can eat mashed potatoes even instant. Baked chicken breast, and fish. yogurt basically everything that is tender and you chew well. Staying away from the obvious Pasta rice fried etc. Season the meat to taste and put it in the oven. Slow cookers are great for meals , you can do meat potatoes and veggies.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
