Anyone Have Problems With Sushi Our Oysters?
♕ajtexas♕ replied to sharklove82's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm able to eat sushi. I did have one issue when I didn't chew the seaweed enough and it got stuck. I say try and see. Just remember small bites and chew. Enjoy! -
I have been banded almost 6 months and I eat all types of seafood multiple times a week. Never had a problem. But it may be different for you. I would try and see....small bites and chew, chew,chew.

Purreed/soft Food Vs. Making It Mushy In Your Mouth?
♕ajtexas♕ replied to akurre12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The reason for the puree/soft food phase is that your still healing. If you don't "puree" the food enough before swallowing you could cause damage.... Is it worth the chance? I say follow your doctors orders, it's not forever. -
It's not messing up! Some choices ars better than others. This is a new lifestyle, I don't look at it as a diet (I hate diets). I log everything I eat, holding myself accountable. We all need a "treat" every once in a while.

2Nd Fill Today And Feeling Discouraged
♕ajtexas♕ replied to Tricia39's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Are you tracking your food? I wasn't losing then I started tracking my food on myfitnesspal.com and started loosing. Probably because what I was eating was there in black and white. It got me making better choices. More protein, less carbs. My user name on myfitnesspal is ajtexas0 if you want a friend. -

To eat in public....that is the question. I tend to go with the side of caution and stick with soft foods.

Marriage & Lap Band Results
♕ajtexas♕ replied to IamBeauti's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband is my biggest cheerleader. I will say that our sex life is improving greatly.....50 pounds lighter makes a big difference. I was big when we met and he has always said that he loves everything about me, not just the physical appearance. I could not of done this without his support and I know he will be beside me all the way.
