Liquid Diet=Terrifying
allik07 replied to ashchap13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It was super hard. But I knew I had to do it in order for the surgery to go on. Looking ahead at the future was a huge motivation because after the surgery I knew I would be on a road to success! -
After surgery have you tried foods you used to eat? I am so nervous I will never get to eat the foods I enjoyed (but only in moderation and if a homemade food, only made with fat free/low fat food) Heres my worries: tamales? enchalidas? pancakes? waffles? Pasta? rice? tortillas? I know some have said it depends on if the person can tolerate it or not... if thats the case do you just have to eat it and find out??? Surgery is Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All very helpful, thanks!!!
-
So if the white potatoes are not that good for us what about making red or purple mashed potatoes??? Or even using the yukon gold potatoes?
-
I plan on logging and I have already started looking up healthy alternative recipes for the food I want to eat. I will do all in moderation and hope I make wise choices in the future since my choices in the past have got me no where good

What Can I Expect After The Band????
allik07 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm getting banded this Thursday 6/28 and I was wondering if you can help... After surgery what can I expect the pain to be like? What will happen if I go to a Mexican food resturant again someday with my family what can I expect to eat? what about a Chinese food resturant? What can I expect to eat in the weeks, months to follow. I have been doing so much research but I feel I am not prepared ( I actually am) but my mind is racing. I am getting nervous and anxious about the surgery but it has been a long time waiting so I am ready. Thanks for any and all help!!! -

21 And Hoping To Get The Lap Band
allik07 replied to fashionista2009's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am the same way. I have tried every diet under the sun and only loose a few pounds and gain it back. I have been overweight for a few years now, with it at its highest ever. I have currently gone through the whole process with my doctor and I have heard back from my insurance and all they need is a medical clearance from my PCP. I am doing that Thursday so hopefully after that I will be on the road to surgery. Good luck to you and this journey you are about to take!!!! -
100 Pounds...gone!! :d
