You are so gonna hit onederland sooon!!! Good Luck and keep up the good work!:biggrin:

B 1 Cup Greek Yogurt, with cinnamon,equal & 1t.vanilla S 1 choc/peanut butter protein shake L 6oz tuna w/1 t mayo S 100 cal bluebelle icecream sandwich D a couple bites of spaghetti sauce s I didn't eat enough yesterday, I don't think it is healthy to eat so few calories, today I am going to try to add to make an effort to eat 3 meals.

What a great way of looking at it. I think I shall do that same thing, I will have to think of a great place to walk to....on the treadmil.....

I am fortunate to live in an area so near the Water and fresh seafood , so i do eat alot of seafood!

My story is almost the same as yours, I was at my highest weight ever @ 219 and have now lost 18 lbs after being banded only 3 wks. I have rode the diet rollercoaster my whole life and I love my band. I am 50 years old and I did this so that I can be around for my granddaughters.

Congrats on making it to the banded side! Drinking is good, but just do it in sips, no gulping, no straws. I would not worry about drinking too much. That pain in your shoulders,neck and chest are ALL gas! I know everyone is tell you this but you have got to walk,walk,walk! your body has to absorb all that gas from your surgery. I found gasX helped me alot, take them as often as you need.

Good Morning to all the Sexy Septembers! Mr. scale is still moving down but the losses have slowed quite a bit now that I am 3wks post op. As long as Mr.Scale is going lower I am quite happy. I have been steadily increasing my walking but I am already at 90 mins a day so I am concentrating on increasing the intensity now. My doctor says no strength training till six weeks and I agree, last night I woke up with a little sore type pain at my port area from sleeping on my left side. I was a left side sleeper before my banding, so I hope this will not become a port area problem. How is everyone else doing today? Exercising? I got some some great greek yogurt ideas on a thread I started, you can read some of them here ~http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/greek-yogurt-ideas-please-103219/ Have a great Tuesday everyone!

I haven't tried any breakfast cereals since being banded. Maybe sprinkling into my greek yogurt would be a way to add a little back, thanks!

B omelet (1egg,1T egg whites,few mushrooms sprinkling of cheese) S 1 choc/peanut butter protein shake L Roast turkey & steamed asian veggies S 100 cal bluebelle icecream sandwich D 1 cup white beans w a few peices of skinless sausage s 1 sugarfree popsicle

I did the soups, Jello,cottage cheese, oh and I love the sugar free popsicles

I stayed on full liquids longer than my doctor said I had to, I didn't want to slow down my weightloss, even now, I have a Protein shake for at least one of my meals. You are doing great!

I did! its great!

B 1/2 ham & cheese omelet (waffle house) S L 1/4 baked boneless porkchop S 100 cal bluebell icecream sandwich D indiv container of cottage cheese S

LOL and I'll dream about being able to eat the whole pizza instead of just the toppings :eek: Mack, you are already on your way with your walking, that's fantastic! Welcome to our group! Our lil group has been a wonderful source of information and encouragement, welcome!

looks like we are all moving along on our journey very nicely. :smile:

I did not have the belly bruising. Soreness from the incisions yes and OMG the gas! lots of walking and gasX. Took me over a week to be able to drink an entire protein shake in one day. Congrats to all of us on making the decision for a healthier lifestyle!

Funny to hear you bringing up this topic, I just blogged about this exact thing. Going to see Mr.Scale every day is NOT a good thing to do, our bodies change constantly, but...... i have done it every day since surgery, sometimes more than once....its awful..LOL

B 2 scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, lil cheese S L 6 oz tuna, 1T mayo,garlic & onion powder, 1 boiled egg S D 1 KFC Grilled Chicken thigh (no skin) and baked beans s I didnt do my protein shake or my snacks yesterday, how did I let that happen? lol

We are already on low calories so the only thing we can do to keep the weightloss going is to increase our exercise. Way to go Amanda!:smile:

I still experience a little soreness where the band was placed. Are you sore around where they cut you or just inside? I never experienced any nausea, just gas

WOW! What an accomplishment! I think people are probably noticing but not sure how to approach it, weight/weightloss are touchy subjects sometimes. Congrats!:thumbup:

Shaving my legs is soooo much easier! lol

I don't blame you! My mushy stage included scrambled eggs and they were my lifesaver. I added egg whites to my regular eggs also. But I tried one different food each day. I was full quickly. I know your hungry, I put everything into my little magic bullet once i was on full liquids :thumbup: Pay careful attention to your Protein and make sure your getting enough, it will help keep your energy up and also, eat small meals every 3-4 hours, even if its a Protein shake.
