How about a Cookie?!?!?! Well a friend told me about this, I was getting tired of my protein shakes so they show me how you can make a cookie out of it. Take a scope of your powder protein put it in a dish, a small tsp "I can't believe is not butter" then a splash of water and a half of pack of splindid. Mix it up so it turns like a dough stage put it in the Microwwave for 30 secs and you have ur protein cookie.

Congrats, I also had high blood presure and taking two meds, after 3 week of having my lap band, I've been taken off also. Whoopie! Here to becoming healthy!

Well same date here 7/20/09 I'm up too the mushie stage, but was getting tired of the same foods, so I went ahead with soft meats, like small portions of fish, crab n lobster meat (what a treat!) I hadn't a problem eating it, no vomiting, still losing weight each week, I do drink a lot of Water throughout the day. I heard Recotta Chees is good, but just plain? anyone has a good dish? Thanks

Since my surgery was done on a Monday, I weight myself very Monday once a week.

Kelly, very good points! My doc tell's me there 3 things to make this work. 1) Eat Right 2)Are You Happy and 3) Losing Weight..... If you are not doing all 3 then eventually you will run in trouble. Though the hardest part is the Mental part and getting used to new foods to replace those bad habits we had in the past if you don't they will just come back. Things can be discourage when they aren't going the way you want, but don't REFLECT in the past, LOOK foward to the next week or the next day. Once a month my doc office has a support group, I went to it after only 1 week after my surgery. There were about 30 there, about half were thinking about to have the surgery and the other 15 that did have the surgery only 3 had lap bands the rest had Bypass. 2 of those Lap said they wish they did the bypass and not the Lap cause they weren't losing enough weight or had problems. The only other one there with the Lap said he was in his 4 month and loss close to 50lbs. So surport was looking more discouraing for Lap band. Rather it to bring me down, I look foward to be back in this month next surport group and keep proving that Lap band also work, but it takes Hard Work! Like they say Money doesn't grow in tress, we have to earn it, so we aren't going to loss weight just cause we had the surgery.
