Well im not banded yet so this is what Ive been doing since Im trying my "practice diet" of protiens first veggies second and fruits and healthy carbs last.

eggs

chicken

Cottage cheese

Almands and other nuts with protiens

Lamb

some pork (not my favorite but at least it adds voriety

I have exchanged ground beef for ground turkey although some people just get the really lean ground beef

I also still eat dairy for Snacks like lowfat yogart

Hope this helps, as far as lubes I cant really help you but here is something I like to put on my chicken salads for dressing and I think this could be used as a lube(?)

1 small cucumber

1 half white onion

1 small container of plain lowfat yogart

two table spoons of lowfat sour cream

and 1 table spoon of mayo

Put this all in your food processors or magic bullets and blend the hell out of it till its liquid. It may sound gross but OMG its so good over chicken with spinach, romain, ceaser lettus and a little shredded lowfat chedder. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ohh yah and ull have lots of dressing probably enough for 4 BIG salads

Sounds like an easy substitute for cucumber sauce without the draining of the cucumbers. You peel the cuke, right? Sounds really yummy. Man, I miss Pita bread sometimes.

I do nuts (almonds), chicken (which is really hard for me to eat just yet) cottage cheese, yogurt, and Boost High Protien (15gm per serving). Surely I get in other protiens? Wow, maybe I'm not eating enough protien? OH! and tuna, which I haven't had in several days but it's good, too.

Good luck! thanks for the food lube idea, Bandit! Sounds yummy :)

OH! I use Italian dressing in my tuna for lube. Beats mayo sometimes. Also, salsa, ranch dressing, BBQ Sauce, gravy.

I don't know just how much I eat in a day. One yogurt, one boost, 2 ounces of chicken breast at the most, 3 ounces of nuts, all in a day. Other days I may substitute one of the other protiens...how many grams of protien is that? dunno.

I lube my chicken with hummus or else it's hard to get down. Also eat lo-fat, cottege cheese, lo-fat ricotta cheese & sometimes have to do a spirutina Protein Shake cause I don't always get enough. I've made ground turkey w/baked Beans & Tomato sauce, kind of like a chile & it was really good. Since I'm getting a fill Thursday & probably won't be able to tolerate steak, I'm having one for dinner tomorrow nite!

Hope this helps.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
