What to do if you can't avoid a lunch in a Italian restaurant, what should I order? Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I read the original post, the choices of food are not healthy, for example you can eat burger without the bun, no soda that means no sugar, sugar and processed carbs needs to be cut out of your diet, the first few weeks are go8ng to be difficult, but you'll get used too. Carbs are addictive like drugs, so you will go thru a withdraw and it will feel awful but after the second week you'll be fine. Also instead of going to the surgeon, go to a therapist, to find out why you eat, solve the emotional issue first, love yourself, be happy. Read the book "the power is within you" by Louise Hay.

I previously had the lap band and I lost 90lbs, during that time my husband was acting the same way, later on he confessed to me that he was afraid of me leaving him, since I was going to get prettier than before. May be you need to have a conversation with him, to assured him you won't leave him or just shhhhhh, enjoy the attention and let him continue fighting his fight to keep you in his life.

I ended up eating a crab cake, I asked how was done and it was baked. So it was yummy, but then I tried one small spoon of my husband salad and since then I've been having this sharp pain every time I eat. The pain is on the left upper side, I think is gas, because it get better when I burp. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yesterday was my first day of solid foods - I ended the day disgusted. Too full, too much food, so I am back to my puree for breakfast then for lunch and dinner I will do solids, I am tracking my protein intake and calories to play safe but definitely I will cut down in the amount of food, doctor said 4 to 5 oz if possible. I will do 3 oz it works for me. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Egg was so hard for me the first day I had a bad reaction, tachycardia and numbness on my left arm, I was so scare so, I tried again a after a week and it was better. I usually eat a cottage cheese in the morning. Chicken puree with pumpkin puree, all from scratch. But I bought baby food for those days that I can't cook, because I am busy. I bought beef, chicken and ham, just add a little salt and is edible. But I cook my meals most of the time, love to cook, I eat the same as I cook for my family, just modify to my diet. When they eat pasta I eat pumpkin puree or mash potatoes, or mash malanga or plantain. I haven't eat salad as of yet. How I cook the chicken? Salt Taco seasoning Lemon few drops Garlic powder Oregano powder Paprika Bbq rub for chicken Then I puree with light mayo as per my nutritionist. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi I am kathy, 48 y/o, four years ago I got the lap band, lost 90 lbs, then my daughter (11 y/o) was diagnosed with cancer, I spent almost 2 years living mostly in a hospital room food was whatever I could find, no the best or healthy. Fortunately my daughter got better is cure now TG and I turn my attention to myself, I had gained 50 lbs back, cholesterol was high and walking were starting to become challenging so 10 weeks ago the lap band was removed and 13 days ago I got the VSG done, I am feeling better and better everyday and I am loosing an average of 5lbs a week. Happy about that. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I understand why you didn't tell, people start making judges, they think this is the easy way and you are doing this because you want to be pretty, skinny to buy nice cloth, they don't understand we do this for our health, the other things are nice side effects, but this is not the easy way I am 12 days post op today I still have tachycardia that is preventing me from start working out, I am eating puree ...yeahhh and life is going back to normal in some ways, ah I drove my daughter to the bus stop today also. As the days pass you will fell better, wipe your tears and think happy thought, see videos of puppies that definitely will make you happy. Enjoy the New life.
