    What do you eat for breakfast everyday?

    carlagovier replied to spoiltmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Oatmeal doesn't stick with me either. I use eggbeaters and make a mini meal. I put in hashbrowns and canadian bacon or lean ham, and veggies, and cheese. I bake it in a 8x8 pan and cut it into squares. Sometimes I use sour cream and salsa on it.

    Ok, I can't give you portion sizes, but I can give you a list of high protien foods. Beans (not green) refried black pinto etc Fish chicken Turkey Canned Tuna cheese You can aloso make one dish meals that contain bean, meat and cheese, this will give you a huge amount of protien with few calories and fat:rolleyes:

    Not a miracle surgery...

    carlagovier replied to LapBeezy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I understand, I have been baned 13 months and have not found my sweet spot yet. Hang in there, as it was stated before, this is a process, and not the same process for everyone. I still think the band was the best thing for me.

    Hi, I got my band in June of 2009. I have just started to feel restriction and I have lost a total of 40 + lbs.

    I have this feeling like there is a rock or lump in my chest, not all of the time, sometimes it feels like it is trying to come up my throat. I have tried to track "when" it happens, but there does not seem to be any "reason". Like right now, I have not eaten yet, but the feeling is there. After I eat, it might go away. Can anyone tell me anything?????:smile:

    My surgery is scheduled for June 16th and I am having second thoughts. I thought I was sure that I wanted the Lap Band and not the bypass but now I am not sure. Any words of wisdom?

    I am pre-op my surgery is June 16th.
  18. carlagovier
    I just got my surgery date, June 16th. I also have my other pre-op tests scheduled, I am so excited. I do have a question though. I don't see my doctor for my pre-op until 6 days before my surgery, I though I had to be on a liquid diet for two weeks, any thoughts?:mad2:

    Just got my surgery date !!!

    carlagovier replied to carlagovier's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    Hi Breanna, Way to go!!! Are you nervous, I am a bit. It has taken so long to get "here" and now I'm nervous, go figure.
  20. carlagovier
    It is my understanding that my surgeon does a fill at the time of surgery, maybe that will help.............:thumbsup:
  21. carlagovier
    Thanks Amy, you are right, I like the measurement idea, and you are also right about pictures, I hide:scared2: I am really afaird of being hungry so I have put a lot of thought into that aspect of this proces, I think I have a "handle on it" for now anyway. How soon did you start "walking" after your surgery?

    Hi, I am from the Kalamazoo area, and I do not have a surgery date yet. Hopefully I will get one next week.:cool2:
  24. carlagovier
    I have been reading this site for weeks and I am learning a great deal. Though the closer to surgery I get the more I worry that this may not be the right decision for me. Any feedback would help me.:rolleyes2:
