Congratulations on your Lap Band!!
-
Hi all.... I just wanted to let you know that I tried Boca Burgers and they are great. Im 7 weeks out and find it a great meal for a Bandster. High Protein, low cal., soft texture, easy to digest. I hope to try the other products.

I had my surgery on A Tues and stayed in the hosp for 2 days. I was pretty beat up for the first week. Week 2 I felt much better. I was able to take 2 weeks off of work and glad I did. The day after surgery I did nothing, lay in the hosp bed and walk the halls. I was in a lot of pain from cutting the muscles. Over all im 7 weeks out and happy as can be!!

Big Paul! STOP! you are making my BAND hungry!!!! they really are good!!!
-
check out the boca burgers web site! it has a bunch of info on the products! yum!
-
Hi Paula, I get them in the local supermarket frozen food section. Im sure every store has them. They are really good. I still eat ground beef but these are a nice change. I patty is only 90 calories! with a roll, lettuce tomatoe, and a veg it makes a nice healthy meal!

Pug mom, sorry i read your post wrong! yahoo for Boca!
-
Pugmum why dont you eat them now since being banded? I find they fit into my diet great.

I have 4 small 1/2 inch incisions and 1 large 4 inch incision where my port is. They are purple now and 2 of the smaller ones have thicker scabs so I will have a thicker scar. Mt dermatologist said they will smooth out ober time and wont be as noticeable. I use merderma on my scars. Im not concerned about scarring as much as I was concerned about my weight problem. Im down 30lbs and im 7 weeks post op!! :clap2:
-
how about a Boca burger and a small salad
-
I will try making this! Soup seems to be a Bandsters best friend and I love it! Thanks again!

How the band changed my life! (pictures)

you and you family are stunning! -
Yes, you can add the Pbutter to shakes. I do it and it taste great. Sometimes I add a banana or some other fruit, Some people even add egg beaters. Have you tried egg drop soup? That is good also
-
Im 7 weeks post op. You should only be doing liquids no and protein drinks, or as your doc ordered. I was put on mushies at 10 days post op. I had eggs, peanut butter, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese and did the isopure drinks for 14 days post op. You may feel tired but that will pass. I still do a high protein shake weekly.

I was interested in your cream of crab soup recipie? Sounds yummy. Can you post it? thanks

its amazing how much more the hospitals charge, I wonder what my doc will get
-
I was pretty suprised how much it was, It was 2 nights in the hosp. My insurance did not question anything, everything was paid in full. Thank god they support the surgury.
-
I was banded in Penna at a Local Hosp. I did not have to pay anything.
-
you look fantastic!!!!!! such inspiration to me, a new Lap Bander!!!!!
-
thank you for your post jessiebear. I have been doing chicken soup today and no heartburn so far, so I may need to slow down a bit. I was always a fast eater so I have to take things slow. I do get that weird tight feeling in the chest but never once did I vomit.
