Not getting enough protien and chest pain
WinningLoser replied to schwanguysgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
These recipes are fabulous! Thanks 4 posting. Question for you though - why is the: DOUBLE CHO-COCOA COVERED BANANA considered High Fat & Calorie) ? If your using whey Protein, 1/2 banana and natural Peanut Butter and skim milk...I would think that is not high fat or calorie? If you have a chance explain....thanks again! -
SMILE!!! It will get easier ~ thinking of you!

Hi! So today I am officially 2 weeks post op! I saw my Dr. on Wednesday (day12 post -op) I amdown 17 pounds and had NO pre-op diet! He admits to not being as stringent as most surgeons and said to attempt to start some solid food. He said cut it SUPER small and CHEW CHEW CHEW! Well tonight I joined my hub and son at TGIF's { for those who are not familiar}: http://www.tgifridays.com/menus/Menus.aspx NOT AN EASY PLACE! Thought I would do Soup but guess what? I minced and minced ONE (yes one) Boneless Buffalo Wing and ate it. I did chew that minced up wing a lot but I ate it with no issues. One hour to consume a minced Boneless Buffalo Wing. I must say this was SOOOOO utterly depressing! How did you all handle these feeling when dining out is a part of our lives? Thanks for your SUPPORT in advance....

THANKS for your thoughts. I know time is a great healer of the soul. I just read a post from someone 5 days post-op missing food. Part of the deal here for ALL of us. My Dr., did encourage real food at this point. I am still on shakes etc.. but does want me to try to eat as well. With the one boneless wing I was NOT concerned about calories LOL More about being SO UNSATISFIED! Eating out MORE upscale was a good idea too but with kids often hard.... This weekend will be a challenge for all us newbies but we will DO IT! Have a HAPPY 4th EVERYONE!

Anyone with a "Side Ache"?
WinningLoser replied to AppleBand's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SO WEIRD!!!! I had this yesterday! I did not know what it was? Thought could it be related? I asked myself the same questions a u? I iced it a bit and that helped. Thought to myself maybe bc I am sleeping on my right since the port is on left? Curious if we get replies~thanks for posting! *BTW* I am 2 weeks post-op tomm. too! -
Sounds yummy thanks for the idea! I did something similar with re-fried Beans I read on here. I also mixed tuna with hummus 4 dinner 2nite and it was delish!
-
GREAT LINK...THANKS!

HEYYYYYY:) Day 9 and I am trying to puree tuna but still 2 heavy for me. I got the idea for ricotta and sauce and going to try that 2nite. Unfort. not a huge Beans person so all of those idea are tough for me! Anything else out there? Come on ladies I just know your dying to share your fave "mushie". LOL We should all work together after we get past this stage and publish a "The Mushy Book 4 Lap-Banders"Check this book out tho; great handbook: http://www.amazon.com/Bandwagon-Strategies-Success-Adjustable-Gastric/dp/0578061236/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309124935&sr=8-1 In all seriousness any ideas or suggestions are SOOOOO appreciated!

Addicted to coffee drinks....HELP with lower-cal alternatives, please!
WinningLoser replied to tammydawn's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Major fan of all frozen coffee drink like the mocha cafes from McD's so I will be watching this thread with fingers crossed Funny, I do not drink regular coffee but every afternoon I wanted a frozen coffee drink, so missing them 2. I did see one on here a few weeks back and I kept, here it is: LET ME KNOW! 1 scoop Protein powder, vanilla or chocolate flavor (I like nectar Sweets, personally) 1 tsp instant coffee granules 1 cup to 1-1/2 cups cold skim milk or Water (milk adds more protein, but water works, too) 1 tbsp flavored liquid or powdered coffee creamer, sugar free Ziz it all together in a blender, magic bullet, or with a shaker bottle. Drink it as is or served over ice. For a decadent treat, top with SF whipped cream ~ heaven! -
