I cant wait to get to stage 4 foods and eat salads tooo....im soooo jealous of you!!!!!! I was banded on 1/7/2010....so we in the same boat!!!! and I truly hope that when aunt flow comes its not as bad as you say!!!!

Hello I had a question,..does anyone know if its bad to eat sunflower seeds...you know the kind where you crack the shell in your mouth and eat the seed?? I loved eating them as a snack before my lap-band...but I dont know if it will affect my diet..Im 8 days post op!? thanks :w00t:

thanks guys!! I will talk to my doctor this tuesday....Im doing very will with my full liquides...making my creamy soups yummer so that Im not so hunger..hopefully the doctor will allow me to eat them cuz that was like my favorite snack!!

Hello as I was looking through the threads I found a website that was posted here in December...it has really good food recipes for us to do!!..it was soo intersting and good that I had to again post this website BariatricEating.com Health & Nutrition - Bariatric Recipes

I am very proud of my self...I did not weigh myself today!!! my scale in in the closet and I wont take it out until next week

I am going to go shopping today and buy the basics I need to do most of the reciepts..I cant wait till next week when I can start eating at stage 3 and eat soft foods! for now some of those creamy soups are looking soo good!!

Well im starting week 2 and I am on the full liquids..but next week i will be able to start on stage 3 foods...I like the ones with eggs ,, and most of the soups!! most of them look soo good....I cant wait to be able to eat good nutricious foods and still loose the weight!!
