I was banded 11/05 at 250lbs., however, I'm having a horrible problem getting protein down, when I can eat any crackers, cookies, etc. I've lost 35lbs so far. Any suggestions? Thanks in anticipation.:help:

Hey Jack :eek: How did you know I was buying and eating cookies !! I have stopped, and have gone back to the protein- in all forms. The key is not bringing it into the house- for if I do I'm addicted. Thanks for the direct talk. Mona

Paul, I have those too- I guess it's time to eat them :eek:....Thanks for the reply, Mona

:kiss2: Thanks to all who took the time to relpy to me! I have all the things mentioned at home, and feel so dumb. I will finally open the Protein powder & use it. I do crave the protein also, and now I will take the chicken and blend it- pate sounds great. I also have the sugarless candies- Ill give them a try again. Boo- I was wondering what the iced chocolate is? I love my iced coffee, and it's one of my staples. Good luck to all of You:clap2: Mona

Thanks so much for the CL hint , I do rely on that quite a bit. Keep up your good work!

Yes, I can get some beans & turkey down- thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have trouble getting it down. My surgery buddy tells me to take my time, and chew very slowly- which I do, but still have problems.
