Baked corn tortilla with fat free refried beans, scrambled egg, low fat cheese and salsa. Feeds my craving for a breakfast taco.

I like fajita tacos and just toss out the tortilla. With some beans in the side. High protein and keeps you full. Or Gilles chicken sandwich no bun. I keep tuna in my locker at work to avoid thus situation

Just had my first super stuck with PB and vomit episode. Yuck and scary! I are a ricotta bake I have made amy times before. I had three bites and felt huge pain and stuck feelings. I tried to wait it out but then I started sliming and new what was coming next. I ran outside and coughed and it all kinda came up. I feel better now, but sore. I am scared I messed something up! How do you know if you have a slipped band? THining I will go back to liquids for 24 hrs and see how I feel after that.

I am much better today. Did soft stuff last night. Had regular breakfast and am fine. Hope that never happens again!

I eat at weird hours because of my job. I am a nurse and work a 12 hr night shift 3-4 days a week. So a lot of times I have to eat at "night". It is not a prob for mr , but I am definitely tighter when I wake up no matter what time if day that ends up being. Can't eat for a couple hours after I wake up

I would do it too. Some college offer online or classes where you do the exercising on tour own time and do something like bi weekly checking on your weight ad strength etc. That may be a good option for you if it is available and you can do it b

My doc let me do 2 protein shakes and one small low carb meal a day. I lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks pre op. It want as hard as I thought it would be.

I had 2 c section last one in 2003. Didn't cause any complications with my band surgery

I call it my Restrictor Plate. Like on a car. It only let's me go as fast or have as much as I am allowed and no more.

I love baked ricotta with spaghetti sauce on top. Takes care of my pizza/ pasta cravings. Scrambled eggs, pudding, cottage cheese. Avacado is a good one too.

It has been easier than thought it would be so far but I am not saying it has been a cake walk either. I have days that I go off the wagon and eat something I know I'd bad fr me like cookies or something, overall I have done well. I do exercise most days but now that I have so much energy I really like it I have I only had one fill so far and have prett good restriction. I am down 40 lbs in 6 weeks.

I only took off a week. I am an RN and should have taken off more time but didn't. I didn't have pain but I got tired really easily and was very burpy still and that was kind of embarrassing around patients.

I like the chewable gasx or the gasx strips. They were my lifesaver the first couple weeks. Also for some reaso if I lie on my right side I am able to burp easier. Hoe that helps and I promise it gets better!

I love it! My fav part is that it tracks your protein and nutrients too. Very helpful for me. TexasNurseMom is my user name

After a fill it is normal for me to be burpy. Otherwise it means I ate too fast and or too much

Went shopping for some spring clothes and Easter dress this week. Am down to 18/20 from a tight 24! Bought some ew stuff and even some new peep toe pumps! Felt so pretty and cute. I haven't felt that way in a really long time!

I had my first fill last week and I can tell a big difference. Don't have shoulder pain but definitely have gas. Very burpy like I was post op. How that helps. I think it iis normal. Do you feel tighter? Are you eating less? Just wondering b/ c I can really tell a difference

I eat a burger patty once or twice a week. I get te low fat frozen ones and cook with Pam on my electric griddle. Top with jalapeño jack slice cheese, pickle, lettuce and tomato. I really don't miss the bread. It satisfies that craving for fast food pretty well for me.

I hear you. Toucan do it. I felt the same way. If you are getting butlers Wth your foods try something new are you on misfits or purees? I ate a lot of Avacado, refried beans,scrambled eggs and pudding at that loin in my recovery. I am 6 weeks out now and on regular foods. If I can make it so can you.

I try to eat around 1200 cal/ day. About 60g protein. I also use myfitnesspal.com. I have it on my phone, by you can do it online too. Teapots helps mr keep track of my nutirent intake.

Steak as long as it is tender and not dry is not a problem. Popcorn is ok too. I like the microwave 100 cal packs. Bread is for sure on my no no list. Tried one bite of croissont and got stuck. Have heard toast is ok but too scare to try and I really don't miss it

Had first fill today. Now have 5 cc my 11 cc band. Feel kinda strange. Not really tight exactly, just strange. Was told I can continue on regular foods. Not sure about that. Ate like 5 bites grilled salmon at lunch and feel stuffed. Is this normal?

I ate pretty much normal foods today and was fine. By I definatly ate less than before.

Made this tonight when the rest of the family was having pizza. In a small baling dish spread Pasta sauce on bottom. Dice mushrooms, bell pepper ad black olives and sprinkle over sauce. Spear layer of ricotta on top. More sauce to cover cheese. Then sprinkle parmesan on top. Bake at 350 for 20 min until bubbly. So yummy! Can leave out veggies for those in mushy stage or can add ground meat for extra Protein if you like v
