Well, you can find some tried and tested recipes of Greek Yogurt at this page of a great website of Mediterranean Recipes. http://www.gourmed.com/search/node/yogurt

Hey, You should visit the site of Gourmed to find the right taste recipes for you. There is a great variety of recipes out there and you can find almost all recipes that are prepared in any Mediterranean Country.

In my opinion, Mediterranean diet is the best and it's mainly since it has all ingredients that your body may need at any stage and in any conditions. If you don't know what kind of recipe is the best for you, then take a visit to the site of Gourmed to find recipes that are fit for your health, budget, season, age and of course taste.

HI! I had my band removed in September of this year after 3 years, but not for erosion. I'm sorry yours has eroded. It's good they found it early (or at least before you started having ugly symptoms). I chose to not have any more weight loss surgery. My insurance covered the removal as it was medically necessary. It also paid to have it implanted. Your idea of continuing to eat as though banded is good, in my opinion. It is what has helped me. I continue to lose weight or hold. At first I lost 8 pounds pretty quickly. Now it is slow and I sometimes stall for a while before it drops again. I want to lose at least 40 more pounds. Having your band removed is not an automatic sentence of weight gain! Not at all!!! Keep your goal as your top priority, no matter what. I feel so much better without the band because my body was rejecting it; so it helps me to feel how wonderful I feel being at a lighter weight and continuing on from here. I eat mostly protein and vegetables. I'm finding recipes from www.health-bent.com are helpful. My surgeon suggests a modified Mediterranean diet and also promotes the cook book found on health-bent called, Primal Cravings. I also take a high quality probiotic from Metagenics called, Acute Care. Banded or not, keep heading in the direction of your goal! I feel very fortunate to have found a surgeon who realized my band needed to come out. Your surgeon may have saved you a lot of pain and grief by getting to the problem before things got bad (as other people have described on this site). I had 3 years of discomfort, the last 2 quite miserable, before finding someone who could see clearly what needed to happen. I am so grateful. I'm glad you're being proactive about diet and thinking about how to proceed! ~hiddn~ There is another great site on Mediterranean food that I know about. Follow the link to check it up, and there are a number of great food recipes of all Mediterranean Cuisines.

I can't understand why you hate Mediterranean Food. There is so much variety in it, and so many recipes that look perfect even to the people living in distant areas such as India, that are known for their great food recipes. Just look at the link of site linked through hyperlink and you will know a lot about it.

Ideas are great and undeniably practical.

You are right. Great discussion going on.
