Hi Nancy, Sorry I didn't respond back to you yesterday... Woody sent me a recipie.... Here it is: Cottage cheese (1/2 cup) Yogurt (fat free, any flavour or even just plain fat free) ice cubes *** I use the magic bullet** and Volia!!! Much easier to get your cottege cheese in this way.... I really love it.... Good luck with your pre-diet.....I'm on day #6...I feel okay right now. Tonight I have the nutrional seminar, so I'm looking forward to that too. Have a great day. Doriana

Good Morning, It's day #4 on my pre-diet.....After eating all this cottage cheese and yogurt I'm now having the feeling when I swallow, I feel like there is some kind of bacterial thing in the back of my throat. Has anyone had this? Also, I feel a very bad taste in my mouth at the end of each day. I'm constantly brushing my teeth, but what's this weird sensation I feel when I swallow? Could it be a bacterial build up from the yogurt and cottage cheese? Just checking, but I will call Nisrene tomorrow at the TLBC to find out... :hungry: Also, I feel so HUNGRY, my tummy is making so many noises. I get those really bad hungrer pains. When I feel like this, should I go and grad more yogurt or cottage cheese? I've been trying to have it only for Break/Lunch/Dinner...I guess I need more, right? Thank you all and have a great day. "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY"....... I CAN'T EVEN EAT....THAT'S OKAY, THIS WILL ALL BE WORTH IT. Thanks again and Cheers to a great day. Doriana

Hi Mary, How are you doing? I will be banded on Nov. 23...I'm so excited about. I have been through all the diets too. Where in Toronto are you? I'm in woodbridge and I will be getting the band at TLBC... Good luck with your decision. If you want to chat on MSN my email is. miele55@hotmail.com Ciao for now Doriana

Thank you, Thank you, ...... I feel so much better now. Still have the taste thing in my mouth and throat. You are all SO supportive......I love coming on this thread every day...... I'm 1/2 way there and this pre-diet will be all over soon. I can't wait... I have the nutrional seminar tomorrow night. This should be interesting. Do they give you lots of good information and recipies for the Post/recovery stages? I wish you all a GREAT day... I do really appreciate you ALL... Ciao for now. Doriana

Hello, Thank you as well for your birthday wish... I hope this feeling goes away soon. Doriana

Hi Louise,, Thank you so much for the Birthday Wish....That was so nice of you! I thought forsure this feeling in my throat was from the cottage cheese and yogurt. It may be just extra mucos from the 2...... I hope it's nothing to worry about. Have a great night. Doriana

Cloe, Thank you... I will hang in there.....She did give me the recipie for the cottage cheese/yogurt/ice cubes smoothie. I love it so much. Woody,,,,, Thank you so much for that... It does make a huge difference. Talk soon, Doriana

Khrissy, Thank you and Good luck to you too... YOu will do great. Keep me posted. If you want to chat on MSN my email address is: miele55@hotmail.com Cheers and have a great day. Doriana

Thank you so much. I guess you all are going? I would love to go.... have a great night. Doriana:)

I would love to know as well. Thanks, Doriana:)

Good Morning.... I'm just my pre-diet today. Surgery is for Nov. 23.... Question, I'm on the cottage cheese and yogurt/jello diet. I could eat as much of it till I feel satisfied, right? I have my tylenol all packed to take to work with me as I KNOW I will get a major headache today. Or, should I just try and stick it out and only have cottage cheese and yogurt for Breakfast, lunch and dinner????? Does this make sense? Wish me luck today.....As I will need it. Have a great day. Doriana:speechles

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! You guys are all so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great night. Doriana:pound:

Thanks guys for your support!! I'm at work right now, feeling a little dizzy with a bad head ache.... That's okay, I'll get through this. I'm going to eat some yogurt right now too. Take care, Doriana

Thanks again Yoda!!! This is a great place for support........I'm so happy to have found this! :clap2: Cheers!

Yoda, Could I drink with the yogurt and cottage cheese? I know after I should be drinking after my meals? Does it make a difference for the pre-diet? Thank God I really like Water and I think we could have crystal light too, right? Sorry for all the questions. I feel like an idiot..... Thank you for your support... I will let you all know how I'm doing..everyday! You may be sick of me....lol Ciao for now. Doriana

Did you have your band done in Mississauga? How are you feeling today? My hubby is doing it a week before me....He's on the 10th of pre diet and doing good. He had a few almonds here and there, but mainly has stuck to it... I hope I could be that strong. Thanks again, Doriana

Thanks Cloe, I'm so motivated today and I have been waiting so long for this. I want this so BADLY... You take care, you are doing so well...... :success1: :rofl:

Hello, Just wondering if any of my friends from Toronto know what "KIND" of yogurt is allowed on the pre-diet.....I bought the low fat/ or fat free flavored kind. Is this okay? Thank you. Doriana

Hello, I will be banded on Nov. 23rd. This morning I had cottage cheese for Breakfast and will replace one meal a day till about 5 days till my pre-diet start. I know a few of you have been banded at the T.O. Lap Band clinic. How important is this pre-diet... they say we could only have cottage cheese, low fat yogurt (I'm assuming the one's with fruit are okay as long as it's sweented with splenda or alike) Hubby is on the pre diet right now since his surgery is a week before mine. He's having a very hard time with it. Is it normal to have diaherra? (sp?) Is it okay to take a multi-Vitamin? (They say yes, but I wanted to make sure) Do you get over the headaches? This is why I thought I better try to replace one meal a day, so my body gets used to this pre-diet phase. Also, I've read alot of different threads and people are given a very different diet for pre-op? What's this all about? Wouldn't it be the same diet for this Lap Band procedure? I'm just a little afraid of the thought of passing out one day... I know I won't, but I was just worried about it, since I"m so used to eating throughtout the day... (I guess this is why I got to be this big)....:think Anyways, if anyone could send some more advice on this pre-diet phase, or just somes words or wisdom................ Thanks for listening. Doriana.

Hi Carol,' I just emailed you. Thank you so much. Doriana:)

Hi Carol, Thank you so much for replying. You are right. I have to follow doctor's instructions. Your stats are amazing.... How long did it take you to be fully recovered? Did you lose the most part of your weight during the first few months? Has it slowed down now? Dr. Joffee is a wonderful person. Both my hubby and I feel very comfortable. So, the fruit smoothie you made was 100% pre-diet? It was allowed? Today I picked up some astro fat free/ with fruit..That's allowed too right? Thanks again.. Keep up the great work, Doriana

Hi Nancy, I will be banded on Nov. 23rd.... I wish you lots of luck...I'm still nervous, but I'm just thinking of how great I will start to feel. My hubby is having his band put in as well on Nov. 16th... Let us know how you are doing. Doriana.

Great, Yoda....I will try that......

Yoda, One more question, re: ticker......How do I go in and change the status? Thanks again, Doriana

Thank you Yoda... I will do one up for Johnny.......... Have a fabulous evening. Doriana
