I get my protein from eating those little cans of prepared tuna. They have snap-off lids. I love the Thai and the tuna with lemon and pepper the best. I also eat a lot of tzatziki - yogurt with cucumber and garlic. These are foods that taste good and all you require is a spoon and a recycle box for the tubs they come in. So very, very easy for a lazy grrl!

NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!
jaria007 replied to pinkdots410's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
take it to a tailor! then you can reenact that yogurt commercial where she is talking about eating key lime pie etc and how her clothes need to be taken in :omg_smile: -
I eat sugar free fudgsicles, sugar free popcicles only have 10 calories. I sometimes eat sugar free pudding but it doesn't taste all that sweet to me. It's better than nothing sometimes. Plus I love yogurt and they are sweet and good for you if you get the non fat light which has carbs from the milk, but some of them have no sugar added.

I am a total foodie and love this recipe for ease of cooking. Peel seed and chop one cumcumber. Mix with greek yogurt, chopped garlic, and dill. Set to the side. Cut up salmon into small portions. Think of how much you can eat. Make some bigger ones if you have a significant other. Place a piece of salmon in the middle of a piece of foil and top with yogurt cucumber mixture. Fold foil over making a pouch, sealing edges so no steam escapes. Bake in a 375 degree oven approximately 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. TA-DA! yumyumyum!

hi gals! things are ok - i am still in my slump but my appt is next wed and i may get another fill, i'll talk to dr. jones then. i think i finally figured out that i eat too fast, esp at lunchtime. i only have a 1/2 hour and no time to snack or eat smaller meals throughout the day. i am going back to protein shakes, yogurt and soup for lunch so we'll see. a get together in jan sounds good, time seems to be flying! too bad we live so far or i would be dancing with you! dez

Yes, more restriction DOES help. I just basically looked at my lunch today and got full. I just hope it sticks with me this time. I seem to be hungrier though at night and have to resist the urge to go and munch. I've been eating key lime pie yogurt from yoplait. It is a pretty good dessert.

Well, I am on soft foods now, but my typical day goes like this: Breakfast: about 1/2 to 3/4 cup malt o meal, or 2 scrambled eggs with salsa Lunch: soup or rolled up lunch meat and cheese, or a little bit of chicken salad with cottage cheese or egg salad. Dinner: about 4oz of fish or chicken, some cooked veges. I have had a couple of snacks in between because I am hypoglycemic and cant go more than about 3 hrs without eating *something* so I will usually have a string cheese, or cottage cheese, or this greek yogurt called Fage, it comes in little individual servings with a tiny side of fruit and it is soo good, and bonus, has 10 grams of protein!! I also have one 12 oz protein shake in the mornings, or else have one of those 42 gr protein bullets split up in two during the day ( I mix it in a little crystal lt to kill the taste) So, thats pretty much my day, I feel like I'm eating alot, but I'm not, and I do get full pretty fast. My first fill isnt until Oct 22, but my surgeon does them under fluoroscopy so he gets it pretty accurate, so he says. And I've lost nearly 14 lbs so far, so Yay for us!!

I'm scheduled for the 23rd as well! I hope you're doing well on whatever pre-op diet they have you on. (I have to drink 3 slim fasts a day and applesauce/yogurt/pudding.) Good luck! I'm starting, for the first time, to get nervous. I had my first consultation on September, did all my pre-op testing in October/November and then had to find the money to pay a program fee. Finally, right after New Year's, I got to go to the last two appointments before they schedule surgery. I've been excited the whole time, but now, it's just starting to get nerve racking. I'm not worried about possible side effects, I trust my surgeon. I think I'm scared on what's on the other side. I'm 21 and I've been overweight since I was 12. I don't know what it's like to be thin. I've never experienced it. I think that's what I'm scared of. I don't know whose under all the fat. Anyone else feel that way?

February '09 bandsters?
JENNIFER7375 replied to JayinMA's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on the 24th and i'm feeling pretty good. The only incision that hurt was the port site but even that one is tolerable now. I'm supposed to stay on liquids for 2 weeks post op. I noticed some of you guys were allowed mashed potatoes or yogurt on your post op diets. How have you tolerated that. I'm starving and don't wanna screw up and go nuts eating crap cuz I'm so hungry . I'm so sick of liquids a yogurt would seem like a steak right now! -
Band Out, Sleeve In! It's done.
Oregondaisy replied to Elisabethsew's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My friend who is getting the sleeve soon sent me some info she got from Dr. Aceves office. I was surprised to read you can move to protein shakes on day 5 as long as they are made with water and not milk. I always make mine with water. Now I am not as worried about the clear stage. I am glad I am used to eating like a bandster so it won't be that big of a shock to me. I am glad to read you got your talapia. I love that fish too. Yay for the soft stage! Do you like cottage cheese? I used to hate it until my daughter told me to mix it with yogurt. It's good that way, and would be considered soft. -
I was just wondering how everyone has been doing myself. Got banded 3/23. Lost a bit over 50 pounds so far, had two fills. Third is scheduled for Sept. 11. Hit a giant plateau for the past month (seriously, the scale didn't budge, no matter how much or how little I ate or exercised or anything). FINALLY started moving again 2 days ago, thank goodness. Hoping to be down 10 by my fill appt (8 left). Hoping I can really drive it home right now since I'm apparently done plateauing for now. Can't eat at all before about noon. Just do a Protein shake or yogurt for Breakfast. I'm trying to get more fluids. I've always been a big drinker but for the past two weeks I have noticed that I've not been drinking much at all (mayyybe 60 oz a day, nowhere near enough for me). So I'm making a conscious effort this week to up my Fluid intake. Other than that, things are going well. I was getting really aggravated about not losing any weight, but at least I didn't gain. Have gotten stuck a few times via user error. I will decide that 11:30am is close enough to 12 to eat, and then get stuck. My body is on some weird time clock. Anyway, hope everyone else is doing well!

So hard to get the protein!
tinksmom replied to anewlife10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Smart-Balance fat-free milk is 110 calories and has 10g of Protein. A few more calories BUT it tastes like 2% so is good in recipes, tea, coffee and smoothies. I am also using Research Power Designer Whey powder... tasteless (really, I don't notice it) that has 100 calories and 19g protein. I add it to smoothies and Greek yogurt. Whih brings me to that which has (thank heavens) replaced my protein drinks. I like the Brown Cow, Oikos, Chobani, Fage, and now Dannon has joined the club. I do not like the Yoplait which is sour...more like traditional Greek yogurt. The ones I like are more like regular yogurts but with almost twice the protein. The first two come in smaller portions of 100 calories so if you add the whey powder it is 29g of protein for 200 calories. Good deal. When I have calories to burn I make a smoothie with the yogurt and powder plus fruit and a half cup milk. If you keep an online food diary you will probably be surprised at how much protein can be had from your foods. Then a few brand substitutions as you start to really read food labels and protein isn't the overwhelming problem it once seemed. (Whey powder can go into stews, sauces etc) -

Looking for March 2010 bandsters threads
catmom50 replied to Fern's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It's so interesting to see what each doctor says. Like pre ops. I had liquids the day before with mag sulfate that night to "clean me out". I would love some yogurt. But i didn't see that on my list, darn.Lucky you get to go to mushies already tomorrow? I still have to go this route a few more days, some cream of wheat would be nice LOL -

Hey Justduckies, I was banded on the 1st and I saw my surgeon today. The reason for the liquid diet is because you stomach muscles don't have to work to digest it. It just passes right through to your intestines to be absorbed. Mushy and soft food, even chewed well, cause you stomach muscles to have to work. Since your band is still healing into place, you should try to make it as easy on your stomach as possible. I have been able to get most things (even meatloaf and mashed potatoes) thin and smooth (like cooked cream soup) when I blend them with liquid. When I can get the taste of the food, I don't feel so deprived. My doc has me on liquids for 3 weeks. I am so sick of yogurt smoothies and Protein shakes, but, the up side of the liquid diet is more rapid eight loss. Good luck!

Hi Sleepyjean, I packed on all this extra weight and sustained it through eating about two meals a day. I used to actually shock myself at how much I could put away at a sitting. I am also finding "hunger" painful. I usually have an ache in behind my breastbone around six in the morning that drives me to the fridge for a few sips of yogurt so I can go back to sleep for an hour or two. Unfortunately, I have over-eaten once or twice as well and the feeling is very similar to that of hunger. It will definately be a challenge to learn our bodies "new" signs, especially since we didn't do all that well listening to the "old" ones. I think I am trying to eat the same way banded. I will sit down and drink 8-16 oz of water in about 10 minutes. I don't get up unitl I am done. I do the same thing with my protein shake. I can get one in in about 5 minutes (that's 8 oz nf milk + 1oz of whey protein powder). I don't feel like I have much swelling from my surgery on Monday because I have been able to do this since Tuesday. I think if I could only do a few sips at a time, it would drive me nuts. One thing I do do is I keep my water in a lg. 32 oz container. My goal is to drink 1.5 or 48 oz daily. I made it to 40 yesterday. Today I havn't even gotten to 8 yet.--OK, I just did 8 oz. Well, that's my update for the day. I am really tired today. My son had an 8 am soccer game and I was afraid to have a protein drink before the game because what I drink usually goes through me pretty quickly and his soccer field was the farthest from the lovely out-houses today. Not getting my morning protein in seems to have made a huge difference in my energy level - even though I had one when I got home at 11 am, I still crashed and slept for a couple of hours and still feel kind of out-of-it. What is everyone else doing to get yourseves "going" in the morning?

Hi Guys! I'm not from Maryland but it sounds like you guys are really good at journaling so I hope you don't mind if I join y'all?!?!?! I've been using the "Food Journal" thread but it doesn't seem like a lot of people are keeping up with it. So here goes the past few days: 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. ALTHOUGH, there's probably some skim milk in my coffee that I don't count for. No sugar in the coffee though.

Susannah, I was told that i should be having 1.5 - 2 litres of liquid a day post op and I tell you I struggled to have that much in the first couple of weeks!! My surgeon recommended 200ml at a time (every half hour or so) and it felt like I was drinking ALL THE TIME!! You should be trying to drink at least a litre of water a day building up to 2 litres when you are eating solids all the time (when you start exercising you will find you drink this easily!). I couldn't have custard and yogurt etc til the second week after surgery on the advice of my surgeon. But sure, I had both of those, plus lite ice cream and low fat flavoured milk, no fat snack packs, thicker yogurts and soups, cottage cheese and cream cheese and that kind of thing in my second week. I tried to stay away from high fat and high calorie stuff in my post op stage, although I was told by my surgeon and nutritionist that I shouldn't be concerned about that because the 4 weeks post op are about healing and not losing weight. I did lose 6 kilos in the month after surgery though!! As for why I decided to have surgery....I don't want to die young and I don't want to get all the things that have made my Dad incredibly sick for the last 2 decades. And seeing how successful his banding has been, I decided it was a tool I could use to avoid ending up in the same boat. I've always been over weight and the last few years obese, so it really was only a matter of time before I was facing some kind of obesity related illness. I also want to feel better about myself physically and emotionally, and be a beautiful wife to my wonderful future husband.

For those of you who are feeling tired, a nutritionist friend of mine said to be sure to drink lots of Water and take in lots of Protein. I have at least 120 grams a day. I eat lo-fat mozarella sticks, yogurt, drink Isopure and add unjury to just about everything. Yesterday I was able to eat a small amount of chicken (about 1/4 of 1 small breast) and 5 pieces of cooked asparagus and felt full and fine. I chewed till the cows came home before I swallowed. I had a mid evening snack of popcorn which presented no problem. No hunger, pain, or gas, can sleep on my stomach, and have returned to full exercise. I take in around 800-900 calories per day.

consider the belt lost! Just dropped it off at the seamstress! Stupidly though, I forgot that I wanted to bring it with me this weekend when I go try on some super-sucker body garments.... i'll bring the other one, I guess. Actually.... they said it wouldn't be done until Monday or Tues. Maybe I could go get it and bring it with me. That weird pattern shows bumps really good... and it's a little tighter than the brown one. As much as I said I'd never diet again.... I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll tough out the cottage cheese/yogurt diet with one of you TLBC-ers! I just need the scale to move... I'm getting desperate. I did really well the several times I did the cabbage soup diet. I bet it would be fairly easy for a bandster.... ugg... I don't know what to do.
