Ok, so I'm catching up on my journaling. Come on everyone!!! And yes, this REALLY is how much I eat. I barely let a bite get in that I don't count.

Wow, this is a great idea!!! I was so hard on myself when I wasn't losing weight. Looking at the posts here, I wasn't really as bad as I thought. My food was healthier probably even, but, my portions were probably too large. I admit, now that I am doing Nutrisystem with the band, I don't have to count calories as much (they do it for me) Do most of you have to eat at the same time? I do, or I get off track. I wake up around 8:30am I have to take thyroid medicine, so, I can't eat for 2 hours. I have my Calcium bar (90 calories) around 10:30am 11:30 today, I had my Cranberry granola bar-120 calories 2:30p I had lunch chicken salad and melba toast-approx 170 calories 4:30p Lite yogurt-110 calories-no fat 6:30p I have a salad with just lettuce and parmesan cheese and low fat dressing-approx 170 calories? I don't know the calorie content of lettuce. It was a small tupperware type bowl. 8:30p I had vegetarian lasagne (210 calories) 10:30p I have soy sour cream and onion chips (110 calories) If I counted right, 980 calories. I eat basically every two hours. I feel like I am constantly eating, but, since I started this, it jumpstarted my weightloss again. I have lost 15 pounds in less than a month. Before this, I had plateaued for about 8 months. I haven't even started back excercising yet. I had been really lazy in that dept. I know with the lapband, you are suppose to only have 3 meals, but, I found I was hungrier and would eat more when I did eat.

85 lbs in 1 year??
Humming Bird replied to BaileyRose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the #1 basic guideline for me is to get to my green zone and stay there. Some of my other basics: -Know my full signals and stop eating -Stay busy when head hunger sets in (sewing, crafts, cleaning house...) - Stay away from fast food - Stick with fat free or sugar free the best I can -Take my vits. -Try to drink fluids between meals. I like iced tea and coffee, and sometimes water. I do not measure and am sure it's not 64oz a day. -I drink a yogurt smoothie with protein powder every weekend (used to more often) -Try to eat a variety each day. Sometimes this is not easy because I do still never eat bread, pasta, rice, dense meats, eggs, fried foods....... -Weigh several times a week to make sure my weight does not creep up too much and then modify as needed. -I ate quite a bit of chili in my weightloss phase to get in protein. Not large amounts, just small amounts often. -I do not think of this "diet" or lap-band as a punishment -
Does Anyone Have Any Regrets?
ProudGrammy replied to betterthanbefore's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi marisa,rose You are lucky that you are only 31 - as you've noted above many people, including myself wish they had this surgery years ago. at your age i hope you don't have any health issues yet, or only a couple. The past few months before surgery, before i was having my food funeral, it was amazing how weight just piled on in such a short time. If i had kept eating, going like this - would now weigh............ As far as mourning food - i'm 3+ months out and i am usually ok without "wanting" the bad food stuff.. But i'd be lying if i didn't say i sometimes think about lasagna instead of yogurt. oh well. But just "thinking" about it. the truth is i could have 2-3 bites of lasagna, but to me thats a tease, so i would rather not eat it all. It is hard realizing for the rest of your life you'll be eating smaller portions, but healthier, other good stuff, but it is so worth it. I can tell, you are smart enough to know that. i am so happy i had this surgery, it is a life saver. i'm glad you are coming aboard too feeling better about the surgery too. welcome aboard newbie. continued good luck kathy -
ANYTHING soft that can be pureed in a blender or w/a blender stick. Did you get a bunch of papers from your doc? There might be food ideas in there for the different stages post-op. I've got a ton of stuff from my doc. I'm still trying to go thru it all. Hang on, let me see what my paperwork says... MY doc has me on Protein shakes and drinks for the first 2 weeks. 3-4 weeks= the usual eggs of all sorts (scrambled, poached, boiled, substitute), yogurts, cottage cheeses, Peanut Butter (b/c of my band process I still can't say PB as a shortcut for the food!), low fat or part skim cheeses, dry couscous (?), skim milk, soy milk. Week 4 add: beens of all sorts, lentils, fish of all sorts, nuts of all sorts, seafood of all sorts, quinoa. He calls that his Level 2 diet. At level 3 you're heading in to week 5-6 and adding chicken/turkey first, followed by pork, beef, etc the following weeks. Definitely check your paperwork or call your doc's office or the Nut if you're working with one. Good luck!!

I Want My Band Removed Now!!!!!
austinglobe replied to yazmarrero85's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've had a lot of challenges with the band, but I think I can offer you some support. I think what you are experiencing is normal. RIght after my surgery, I could not eat more than 1 6oz yogurt and it took me all day to eat it. I got through it by drinking apple juice mixed with water. By the end of my first month, I could eat exactly the same way I did pre-banded. I had no restriction at all after the swelling went down. I hope you start feeling better soon. -
Noel. I loose consistantly 1 to 2 lbs per month on average. I have never lost big time as I can't exercise all that much. I am not able to judge quantities so I have to measusre everything. I eat one egg, 1 peice of WW bread for breakfast, low fat yogurt, tuna or other fish for lunch, tea and stonewheat thins with peanut butter at tea time and anything a dinnertime. Although contrary to most everyone else, I can't eat more than 4 to 6 oz at night. I don't know why I am so restricted. I have 5.5 ccs in a 10 cc band and keep a loose fill because of my failure to chew properly. The band has helped me know the feeling of full which I had never known before. I do keep track of everything on Fitday as well. Sigh, even with the band one has to work at getting the weight off. How about you what do you eat? and How has your weight loss happened.

Trouble sleeping...and moving on up...
tnwhite2001 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ever since I got banded, June 1, I have been having major problems sleeping. I'm not in pain at all, so that's not the issue, but I just toss and turn all night. I don't know what the problem is. I've even been taking my Ambien and still...nothing. I haven't had a full nights sleep in about 5 days. It's KILLING me! Has anyone ever had problems with this after surgery? Ugh! Also, today I finally get to move from "clear liquids" to "full liquids" which, for some reason, includes things like oatmeal and yogurt (I'm not complaining, I've just never considered them liquid before). I'm super excited because I really miss CHEWING but I'm kind of scared that it won't sit right with me and I'll end up getting sick. Any advice? -
8/26 Banders!! Let's do this:-)
ashleylaray08 replied to mstiffanyd's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on different foods daily I add something new today is sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I also can have sugar free puddings apple sauce and low fat yogurt mashed potatoes and soft cooked veggies and I am one week and one day post op (obviously was banded the 26th) lol I have found on this forum that every doctor and post and also pre op diets are different DRASTICALLY different good luck -
I got banded on 9/24/08, just one day before you slim-n-tn and I was wondering if you were eating that whole wheat pita and not having any trouble? I thought we were stillon the mushy phase and I haven't tried any kind of bread yet. I've been mostly having yogurt, oatmeal, over-cooked vegetables, creamed soups and my favorite - mashed potatoes!!

Is this Normal? Advice Please!
P.chan replied to P.chan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Tamie, thanks for your reply. But my doctor said to be on liquids and Soups are fine for the first week. For the first 5 days I was on very light soups...only last night, i made this sort of thick potato soup. I believe my Proteins are coming from my soymilk, milk and yogurt. I drink about 4-5 glasses of milk each day..plus 2-3 smoothies. Can you tellme what your eating time table looks like? thanks so much -
Need Advice From Banded Vets!!
honk replied to Myshel65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes we have all felt the need to "eat/chew" something. Totally normal. As mentioned previously however just because you can does not mean should. I recommend spacing out your allowed foods. When I was on mushies I was allowed 8 oz of tomato soup (or sweet red pepper whatever but vegetable, smooth and low fat/cal); I'd wait an hour and then have the yogurt of cottage cheese. If I ate everything in one setting I would be both head and body hungry in an hour. If you are hungry eat more of the foods you are allowed. Don't eat pizza or fries. A bit of a lecture. If pizza, fries and chicken fingers are bad for you they are bad for your children. Feed your kids versions of what you are eating. They literally won't starve. If they are hungry enough they will eat it. -
Just Got Gastric Sleeve Surgery!
frumpynomore replied to Dee3177's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wow! My doc won't let me be on "full" liquids (yogurt, pudding, jello) until 2 weeks post op. I'm on only clear liquids for 9 more days and it's killing me! I don't drink much plain water but my doc says that any clear liquid is considered part of the 64 oz liquid requirement. Drinking liquids is mainly to keep from getting dehydrated but it also aids in flushing bad stuff from your system and aids in weightloss. For the first 2 weeks i'm only to take vit B12 sublingual and prilosec. After 2 weeks i'm to start on a multivitamin. -
Im a picky eater need help with Protein drinks
kulita replied to princesx01's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
There is a clear liquid Protein broth from unjury called chicken Soup and it REALLY good.. BTW you can eat this one warm, and it taste EXACTLY like how you would want homemade chicken soup to taste. Try these flavors too. If you like chocolate try Syntrax's nectar in Chocolate Truffle. With Water it tastes like a YooHoo, with milk it tastes like a Wendy's milkshake. I also have The Nectar in Vanilla Bean torte (23gm protein) and I mix it up with 2 oz of blueberry kefir and 4 oz of milk (9gm protein). Kefir is 99% lactose free and has just as much protein as milk. If you like fruit juices try Unjury's strawberry Sorbet. Mix it with water, lemonade, or milk and yogurt (strawberry cheesecake). I have made this one so many ways even into ice pops! Of course all of these items are 0 carb and 0 fat too. You can get all of these in sample form the Vitamin Shoppe and Unjury.com Looking for sleeve & bypass recipes from someone who actually had it AND tastes YUMMY?… go here… http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ -
Hello! Fellow latuda taker here. I was actually told to switch my medication to something else until I could eat larger amounts again. My surgeon told me the 400 cal requirement just wouldn't be possible in the post operative diet phases. And he wasn't wrong. I could only eat about 200 cals at a time. My psychiatrist put me on abilify but then we changed it last minute back to Latuda. I discovered that eating fattier foods helped me absorb it better so instead I would eat a purred high fat food like full fat yogurt and a piece of soft cheese then take my pill. It did the trick and I stayed very stable throughout the diet phases. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for sharing! My doc told me to take it with what food I can and if I start feeling like its not working, then we'll make a change. So far I'm doing okay, I also eat regular greek yogurt in the morning when I take it, so that's probably helping. In the beginning, before Latuda, we tried Abilify and my body does not like it!

I use chobani yogurt as a snack. Generally if the yogurt is flavored I may add in 1/2 scoop of unflavored protein. Also, really good is plain yogurt with a tbsp of peanut butter for a snack, or PB cookie flavored protein powder.

Yes, plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

sounds good peanut butter and yogurt

help with my protein?????
mcgreen replied to lost_secret's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that's great to know- thanks! Do you find that if you add the protein to thicker stuff - yogurt; sugar free pudding that the taste isn't too obvious ( for the "no taste" protein -
I was banded on June 20th...I am also from Minnesota..Banded at MeritCare Fargo, ND. My Dr. had me do the 2 weeks liquid diet prior to surgery and then also 2 weeks after surgery. I am now just finishing up a week of pureed diet...4 protein shakes during the day..4 oz. with 4 oz. of pureed unsweetened fruit, 4 oz. of low fat no sugar yogurt and then 1 tray of pureed food from the hospital and this is my current daily food intake. Next I move to soft foods.....funny how all Doctors have different plans. You will have to keep me updated on how you are doing. As far as feelling....I feel great and did right after surgery also. Good luck to you...
