So when I went to see nutritionist she told me as I lose my band will get loser and might need more fill which makes sense. When I told nurse that she said it wasnt true and that she has several patients that have not been filled in years. Anyone know the truth no guesses please.q

She says because of where the band is placed.

Ideas for "mushies" phase
hely88 replied to treysee26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fish, tuna canned, chicken canned, cottage cheese, beans, eggs. Didnt your doctor give you a list as well? also I cant eat just eggs but if i whisk it with skim milk I have no problem. Congrats and good luck! -
Hoe many drops of mio do you use when just making a drink?
-
I definately think its a personal deccission. I know others in your situation that have gotten the band because they keep gaining it back. I also no others who didnt have a lot to lose but were approved because of medical conditions. I wish you the best of luck!
-
maybe you can get more calories by choosing different food options. maybe meet with a nutritionist. Good luck I am very impressed.
-
Nothing is wrong with having it but I personally would not want to use my calories on it and a lot of people have problems with breading. You should never feel deprived.
-
I also use coffee mate sf flavors. They do make a ff half and half. It really boils down to what you want to uses your calories for.
-
I also would do breasts but I hear most people saying they can't eat them I have never had a problem and the last times made thighs I was grossed out by all the fat I tried to get off.
-
I used to add sf ff instant pudding mixes to my shakes until I looked at nutrition label and saw there is 300 gms of sodium in just one serving. I think there are 4 servings and this was jello brand I no longer use or suggest it. You can also try sf syrups like they use in coffee shops or pb2 if you like peanut butter.

I went thereo last night with all intentions of having their low calorie black bean soup. Unfortunately wrong day. I ended up with a side of their yummy chicken salad with two tomato slices and two cucumber slices. I knew I could eat it all but left some in the bowl. I make sure if anyone is making dinner plans with me to make sure there is a soup option in case I can't find anything else. I also don't count calories.
-
If it was me, I would make the shake and bake for your friend and cook chicken thighs for yourself a different way. Dont ever feel you have to compromise for other people. There is usually a solutions.
-
Its also important to you know that you are not looking for a "full" feeling. You have to learn where it is that you feel satisfied. If get full you have eaten too much. This journey will teach you so much about yourself. Best of Luck!

I eat 3 half cup meals with 3/4 being protein reaching between 60 -70 grams. I was told to not count calories just to measure and track. I tracked everything for a couple weeks and took that info with me to meet nutritionist. I do once in a while have a snack or a treat. Best of luck to you.

If I had more money I would buy much more organic but fact is I can not afford it. I do look for cage free or grass fed. Best of luck .

Coupons for Atkins or Pure Protein Shakes?
hely88 replied to dolphintattoo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I would suggest googling. I did buy pure protein vanilla at grocery store 2lbs for $18. I thought that was a really good price. The store is owned by Giant if you have them. -
I make my salads without lettuce for the same reason. sometimes I can eat iceburg if very crispy but usually avoid.
-
For sime reason nothing will stay down? Whats that all about?
hely88 replied to deseree65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree to call your doctor. If you havent had a fill recently and this is happening you really should have your band checked soon. -
Make sure you are watching your sodium intake and drinking a lot of water exspecially taking a water pill.
-
How well do the wraps work and what exactly is the process, how expensive, how often? My doctor sai there is nothing we can do about sagging skin so I am very curious.
-
Thanks Hilary. Sounds like you know what you are doing andi did really post out of concern. We all do need to find our right paths. Hopefully this will be the best for you. I wish you tons of success. Best of luck on your journey"

You can probably find low sodium options for the dressing and the soup. Sounds yummy!
-
Please tell me where to find them?
