I don't snack, drink low cal beverage. I love to juice and add blended ice a snake slushies for dessert. Take cool whip no sugar add Peanut Butter and small chocolate at the bottom and freeze overnight it's like eating fluffy icecream without hardly any calories. I have many banded recipes low dat low cal and works for the band. Kayleena Kik kpandalicious Iceroseandfire@gmail.com

No drink 30 before meals eat till your full chew slowly. chicken is all I ever eat but gotta be moist so like crock pit makes chicken so juicy. I drink 45-60 min after eating This gives a chance for my band to work. I enjoy the food I eat now and Engage the flavor and texture. You can do it. I did and feel great.

Oh yes sorry I was banded not sleeved. Must be my finals week and my brain not working .

I was 28 hours post op flew home and three days later I was back to school and work full time. I had a short recovery time but I feel great. Gotta walk off the pains and start yourself slowly.

I everyone I wanted to check in. I had my first fill about a week ago, I feel great I'm down 73 lbs and loosing quickly. I fill great, I've been exercising more and finally toning. I'm down three pant sizes and maybe working on the next size down. I do a lot of Water aerobics and walk a bunch. I hope everyone else is doing good. I had 1.4cc filled out of my 4cc band. Eating about 1/3 cup and I'm full. Gotta eat about 40-60g of protien and fit in what else I can between veggies and fruit. I make my own own ton chicken wraps and been eating great. Finally I have left overs in the fridge. Feels so weird to have extra food. Guess my friend will help with that.

Good luck on surgery. Make sure you get lots I sleep, walk off the gas pains and remember to sip slowly even if you can chug Water. You have internal stitches. Keep in touch

Everyone is different in the band. I have a regular allergen band not a green zone or anything. I stick to my diet plans. No sugar no soda and no junk food. All good fresh juice from my juicer and fresh mushies and food. No cheating even if your hungry. Lots of protien and I don't count my calories just 40-60 grand if protien a day. I walk a bunch easy things but I have only 1/2 cup of food I can't eat that much. I feel full and when I'm hungry I eat. No Kate night snacking either. It's been two weeks and I'm down 38lbs now I have been doing what my BFF did 6 years ago being banded and nothing is wrong with her. She gets fills and barium swallows to follow up and regular X-ray checks and she's fine keeping the weight off. You are what you put into your mouth and chew and take your time. Because it's your time to keep the weight off. Everyone is different I haven't had any fills and I won't until I stop loosing the weight. My doctor said when your hungry eat but only eat 1/2 cup and then eat few hours more so in not stuffing my stomach expanding it more and more. Plus I feel full anyways. Drink and to sip all day long. He said when I stop loosing the weight for 3 days straight and I either gain a pound or two and I'm hungry every hour and craving odd foods is when I need a fill. You just know And have to watch your full signals. I wish you the best of luck! I hope your band works as great as mine. I'm happy with it. Kayleena

I love my juicer I can add anything and everything to it. My baby bullet for mushies and my soups.

I'm on 40-60 grams if protien and carbs no more then 20-30 and fresh fresh fresh is better. No sugar no added things and drink sip all day long.

Hello all you banders out there. I was banded two weeks ago Saturday June 28th I am doing great and I am down 38lbs not including my pre op diet this is all after surgery. I'm feeling full after 1/2 cup of good high Protein food. I'm on mushies and lots of Beans and tofu and lentils. Downfall my cucumber dip but has lots of protein. Cottage cheese is my other favorite for the week. eggs and many other things. Of course the baby bullet is perfect for me. I love it. Right size and blends great. I have not had a fill or any exercise with my plan. I will after I am 6 weeks out. I hope all your bands are working too. I wish you the best luck on your journey. No sugar, no soda and I'm following my plan to a tee. I haven't cheated or feel tempted yet. Hope your day is well tomorrow. Take care Kayleena Wa state age 29
