My surgeon also does only lap band. He is also a trauma surgeon. He's done over 1000 bands and lost one due to blood clots ( at least he discloses) he is awesome and so is the hospital he works out of. dr. Coirin- Modesto cab Pre-op 275.9lbs -surgery 10/5 265.0lbs -11/11/12 241.8lbs

Supportive by definition is to provide assistance and encouragement. I don't think anyone on here was not supportive. Each one said what needed to be said to provide assistance for someone to reach their goal- to lose weight. Wls life is not a diet, you can't put it off until... If you don't learn how to change how you interact with food you will always be stuck where you were before Wls; Unhealthy, overweight, and unhappy!

Sorry I disagree with you. The main goal is to be healthy! If I could eat and stay fat but still be mobile and full of energy, happy, no health issues I probably would. Fact is, being overweight is unhealthy. However, I'm not willing to trade one health risk for another. Desperation to lose weight FAST has gotten all of us into the cycle that brings us here. Wls is a totally different approach. I for one am not going into this with the same games I played before. I'm in it for the long haul with the mentality that it is scientifically impossible to stay obese if you live the life of a skinny person.

I made mini quiche on muffin tins and froze them. I then pull them out of the freezer and nuke it. It is quick and easy for on the go and super filling. Making them with spinach adds to the chewing but mushrooms or asparagus tips would work too. 12 eggs 1/2 c ff shredded cheese ( like WW brand) 4 c chopped spinach (cooked and drained well) 1/3 c sautéed onions or raw chives 1/2 c. Shredded chicken or turkey sausage pre cooked and drained 1/3 c. Ff ricotta cheese Dash of nutmeg Salt if desired (if you salt the veggies first no need to add extra Beat eggs well, add other ingredients Fill 12 muffin tins equally. ( make sure you spray them with Pam spray first!) Bake at 375 for 20-25 min or until center is not soft (toothpick test) Top with a small amount of shredded cheese when fresh out of the oven if desired. 106.5 cal ea Fat 5.8 g Protein 10.4 g Carbs 2.6 g ( for those who care) Pre-op 275.9lbs -surgery 10/5 265.0lbs -11/11/12 241.8lbs

It is really good. The only thing is, you must dissolve it in a little bit of cold Water first then pour on the hot water. If not it looked like a boiled scrambled egg floating in clumps on top of milky water. Tastes just as bad too. Pre-op 275.9lbs -surgery 10/5 265.0lbs -11/11/12 241.8lbs
