Erin, One bite at a time. One minute at a time. If you eat poorly today, eat better tomorrow.Your pouch is small. Fill it with good food - veg, fruit, protein, good carbs, some dairy. You can only eat so much, so make it count! Eat Protein first - ALWAYS! Eat very small bites, and chew well. If you don't get full after your first measured plate of food,wait 10 min, then take a bit more. Use smaller plates, cups and utinsils. Every pound lost is worth all this. I promise !!!!!!!! And I agree - Clothes are the BEST motivator! You're beautiful, and SOOOO worth it :-)
-
Oh PHOOEY on what they may think!! You NEED this fill ! Trust us... you will feel SO much better afterwards.
-
I have both, and love both - but for very different uses. For what you're talking about, you want a regular blender. An Imersion blender won't do you much good.

Suggestions for eating at Red Lobster?
BobbieND replied to kirafiki's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
RL is my "Mother Ship" LOL I eat there at least once a week. You can order anything in any quantity you want to. re: I'll get 2 coconut shrimp and a skewer of Scallops ( grilled, no butter ) Then next time I'll have a skewer of grilled shrimp and a add on size ( .5 pound) of crab legs. Last week i ordered a Main Lobster tail and shrimp skampi. Of course, I cant eat the biscuts, and My system doesnt like salad anymore. They're very good about ordering ala carte. Enjoy !!!! :-) -
Feeling depressed and Lost... need some help.
BobbieND replied to VermilionKiss's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Right on, LeighaMason! VermillionKiss - Journal, Eat Proteins first - ALWAYS! And NEVER beat yourself up. SO you gained back 15 - Big Woo ! You LOST 35 ! That alone is something to Celebrate :-) And so it takes you 2-3 years to reach goal ... So? Are you in a race ? NO! This is a way of life change - not a diet. You're young and beautiful ... embrace each day as a new challange. And accept what happens. Take responsibility. You over eat? fine - dont do it tomorrow. You ate some bad foods? AND? Enjoy it, then move on without mentally kicking yourself. Use each meal, food item, day and pound ( lost or gained ) as a LIFE experience. Embrace it. And make it your own. We are all SOOOOO worth it!! Best of luck to you VermillionKiss!!! :wink: -

I have failed my band - SUPPORT GROUP
BobbieND replied to Tabithan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm glad a few of you have revitalized this thread, so to speak. I could really use the information, encouragement, and the peace of mind knowing I'm not the only one going thru this ... Thanks :-) -
I found this interesting ... Just an FYI in case you were wondering... :-) Medical ID | FeedAgg.com Feed: Medical ID - AggScore: 67.1 Medical Alert Bracelets - and Bariatric Surgery Patients/RNY Patients ----------- There are lots of strange stories surrounding whether or not you need to get a Medical alert Bracelet after you have had Bariatric Surgery or are an RNY patient. To be perfectly frank with you after all the trouble you have been through to get to where you are today I would suggest that you do. Click Here for Free Custom Engraving on Medical Bracelets/Necklaces It is unlikely that you would get your pouch popped by the medical professionals but they will take more precautions and act more carefully if they are aware of the situation. They will also be made aware that they cannot give you certain drugs or nutrients. If you are in an accident, are not conscious or coherent and you have no one with you the only way for the medics to find out the relevant information at the scene is by the information that you provide. In this case you could only provide the information via your Medical Alert Bracelet. The information that the Medical Alert Bracelets must contain is as follows: • YOUR NAME • GASTRIC BAND • NO BLIND NG TUBE/SCOPES • NO NSAIDS • NO SUGARS • YOUR SURGEONS NAME AND CONTACT NUMBER Rather than stating no sugars some people simply state diabetic of course this maybe the case. If you have any allergies you should also mention this. If you are an RNY patient then you should replace the term GASTRICT BAND with GASTRICT BYPASS. Medical Alert Bracelets are not the embarrassment that they used to be, by wearing one you will not constantly have to answer questions about it. There is a large range of styles available to suit every taste, they look like regular jewellery but they all contain the insignia which lets the medical professional know that your bracelet is in fact a Medical Alert Bracelet, they are trained to spot these. Medical Alert Bracelets are a great gift idea for you or a loved one that has just been through Bariatric/RNY Surgery, it will allay some of the fears surrounding what happens if you have to have an emergency medical intervention.

FOOD, FOOD Everywhere, and only a drop we eat!
BobbieND replied to Chapamar's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Chapamar and MissyMS - I totally hear you! I, too, am obsessed with food. My bf just doesnt get it! lol And I'm a Foodie down to my bones. I subscribe to 11 different food / cooking magazines, and Food Network is my Mother Ship :-) I love to cook as well... but i can't very much at all. The problem in my house is that neiter of us really likes leftovers. I also love soup, stews, chili, etc... So i make huge batches and then freeze it. However, it seems I never get around to wanting it again, and I end up thorowing it out or giving it away. Then a week later I'll make another batch! I also horde food, but I know why I do that. It stems back to my childhood and never having enough. So yes, I literally dream of broasted chicken and pasta, I obsesse over my cookbooks - which I read cover to cover like any other novel I may be reading - they're like children! hehehehe I just wanted you to know that you're not alone ... EVER!! -
