I went and bought some and I love them. I bought the fudge brownie ones and they have really helped me with my sweet tooth. They really fill me up too, I don't know why because sweets usually go down easy and then I get hungry shortly after, but these keep me satisfied for a good while. I don't really know the answer to your question, but I'm gonna try them for a while. If I see I'm not losing, I guess I'll have to find something else to calm my outrageous sweet tooth.

he he he he! :thumbdown:

Ok, I'll definitely try my very best to make it next time! I'm glad ya'll had a good time. Have a good week everyone, in case I don't get to talk with ya'll for a whole week :cheers2:

ROTFL! Hope you don't snore.............:cheers2:

Girls, I wish I could have met you but my hubby was a work and I didn't have anyone to keep my son. Maybe next time! We are leaving on Monday and going to the beach until Sunday. I'm really excited to get to vacation for a whole week! My sister's getting married on Saturday, so we decided to make a week of it. I probably won't be posting much next week. I'll check in from time to time on my hubby's IPhone, but probably not much. It's gonna be weird not being on here, I think I'm addicted, lol!

Here's what I had yesterday, not sure about today yet B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- 3 slices deli turkey, 2 wedges light laughing cow cheese, 1 tsp pesto (made rollups) Snack- Atkins fudge brownie bar Dinner- Japanese mushroom soup, Habachi chicken (only ate the chicken), steamed veggies

Here's what I had today, not too bad: B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- creamy spinach chicken salad Snack- 2 thin slices deli meat (turkey), 1 wedge light laughing cow cheese, 1 tsp. pesto (made 2 roll ups) Dinner- small chicken salad cup at Chick fil a Snack- atkins fudge brownie bar

bigbaby, here's the link where I posted it on the recipe forum, it's a lot healthier than using mayo and quite tasty! Creamy Spinach Chicken Salad - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support Today B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- leftover creamy spinach chicken salad Snack- 2 thin slices deli meat, 1 wedge laughing cow light cheese, 1 tsp pesto (made roll ups) Dinner- small chicken salad cup from Chick fil a Snack- Atkins fudge brownie bar

I think sugar alcohol can be subtracted too!

LOL, that is the funniest thing I have read in a while!! If I saw you asleep in the bathroom, I would have snapped a picture with my phone for blackmail, lol!

I too felt totally lost! I was on here last night when it went down and I was trying to get on every 30 minutes until 2:00am (I have trouble sleeping). Then this morning, it was still down! I didn't realise I was soooo addicted until now, lol!

Sounds good! Do you find that it calms your sweet tooth? That is a big problem for me, I've always had a big sweet tooth. I've been eating SF popsicles at night, but it just isn't the same. At night is when I start craving sweets, how many carbs are in the bars?

B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- 3/4 c. creamy spinach chicken salad Snack- 3 baked parmesan cheese wafers Diner- 3/4 of a piece of mushroom & cheese stuffed chicken breast

At our Walmart, it's not in the closed freezer section, it's in the open freezer section with the frozen chicken breasts and strips, etc. I'm sure other Walmarts may be different, just look over all the freezer sections. Good luck finding it!

Carrabas - never been there Outback Steakhouse - Alice Springs Chicken A Chinese Restaurant - I haven't been able to find a chinese restaurant to eat at. I have found that the chicken is just too tough and I have to chew until my jaws are sore, so I stay away. Applebees - spinach & artichoke dip is my favorite!!! I eat is way too much! I usually eat all the dip and 1/3 of the chips. The french onion soup with the cheese melted on top is good too! Macaroni Grill - never been there Red Robin - never been there Ruby Tuesday - salad bar or an appetizer Wendy's - love the chili! sometimes chicken nuggets McDonalds - I try to avoid it, but if I go, I get either the fruit & walnut salad snack or a fruit & yogurt parfait Chick Fil A - haven't been since being banded, but heard the chicken noodle soup was good! Panera's - never been there Atlanta Bread Company - never been there Subway - haven't been since being banded Can you Eat Pizza? NY Style - thin crust does okay

Hi Pat, sorry you had that experience. I've been banded for 6 months now and I haven't had that experience yet, so I consider myself lucky. I'm pretty sure sooner or later I will, but I'm glad I haven't yet. I think I've read that if you get stuck or PB, you should go on liquids for 24 hours to allow the irritation and swelling to go down. I hope you don't have to go through that again and good luck to you!

I have the same problem. My mind is constantly racing and I think about what happened that day, what I need to do tomorrow, and everything else I could possibly think of. Once I get to sleep I'm good for the rest of the night, it's just a matter of getting there. My Endocrinologist suggested I start listening to a relaxation CD (I got the sleepy ocean one). It has helped a little, but not near as much as I had hoped for.

I had the mushroom & cheese one last night too! Great minds think alike, lol! Your welcome. I highly recommend them, very tasty, low carb, calories are not too bad either.

What did you all think about the elimination? I think America got the bottom 3 right, but I think Amanda should have gotten another week.........I think Kristy should have went home. She is one lucky girl, she has escaped elimination every week.

Welcome Allykat, glad you are joining us!

Here's the link: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/starting-atkins-induction-diet-anyone-want-join-me-50036/?highlight=starting+atkins+induction I'll show the chicken that's soooo good, here's a picture of what they look like, you can buy them at walmart. They have 2 other flavors, a bacon & cheese one and a jalapeno & cheese one (beware, that one is a little hot!!)

I have a feeling that Kristy will probably go home, if it's based on talent. I think she has a pretty voice, but she just picks the wrong songs and I think she has a bad case of the nerves. I think Brooke is my favorite too! She didn't do too well last night, but I still really like her. She does best when she is just sitting, playing guitar or piano and just singing the crap out of a song. Maybe someone could help her with her moves? I really don't understand why Carly is being compared to Kelly Clarkson. She has a good voice, but it just doesn't even compare to Kelly's, IMO. Kelly is my all-time favorite idol winner so far, Carrie is next. Sometimes Carly sounds like Celine Dion to me. I don't know, she's good, but not my favorite by far. I really like Jason Castro, but he really didn't do that well. I hope he steps it up next week. David Cook is my favorite guy. David A. is ok, not really my cup of tea, but he does have a good voice.

Hey bookaddict! My doc uses the Sugar Busters Diet for his patients. I actually really liked the diet and I think I lost about 14 lbs on it. Sugar busters is kind of low carb but not strict low carb. For bread and Pasta, I had to use whole wheat products, but it didn't bother me. I ate lean meats, non-starchy vegetables, and some fruits and a little whole wheat bread. It really wasn't too bad. Good luck to you and hope everything works out!

Thanks, I'll be careful!

I just might have to make a trip to the store tomorrow........if it wasn't raining and sooo windy here, I would go tonight :Dancing_tongue: Thanks for the recipe!
