Thanks so much for your note!! It's hard being a foodie and having the wrong assumption that I would be forever stuck eating yogurt and scrambled eggs forever. It seems like there is trial and error but that I can lead a normal life and enjoy some of the same things but at a MUCH smaller scale. I am ok with that. At dinner tonight, we split a meal and I told my boyfriend about my decision to talk to a Dr. He told me he loved me no matter what and would support me in any decision. With him for 7 yrs and seeing how amazing he is in tough times and even emergency surgery, I truly believe him. He said it would help him get healthier as well. One hurdle crossed. Next up, my first orientation is Oct 26th and then my first Dr's appt is Nov 3rd. I have been reading SO much and feel so much better after reading personal blogs and tons of posts on here. Congrats and good luck PoodleLover!! I would love to hear more of your journey since you are new into it. Also, LOVE the screen name. We are poodle lovers as well. I have had poodles my whole life and we currently have a 3 yr old little brat, who is the love of our life. She is Cafe Au Lait color with silver ears. Her name is Gypsy. So anyway, fellow poodle lover here too!!

Hey everyone. I was banded on May 27th. So far, I have had a good experience. My Dr. required me spend 1 night in the Hospital. Pre-op the Dr. Had me on a two week HMR shake diet. Since surgery I've done well on my liquid diet. Starting to get a little tired of the cream soups. I had a fat free yogurt. It's staying down, so I think I'm doing good. Didn't have alot of pain, except where my port is. I finally got to sleep on my side night before last. So I'm a happy camper right now.

KELVINSMOM replied to banditone's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I can not rave about it enough - Eddy's sugar free fruit bars - If it can satisfy my sweet tooth .. it can satisfy anyone's . i messed around today and at a handful of m&m's - tasted good going down.. but the pain afterwards will make me think twice in the future.. yoplait also makes good fat free yogurt. -
I am so sick of the liquids.... I was told I could have yogurt, pudding and apple sause....... I don't consider that mushies, cause well Mushies you should be able to chew a wee bit. So.......... tired of pureeing everything. I miss chewing. I have sucked on suger free mints, but......those get tiring. I want to eat!!! Please............. tell me this to will pass!

I eat lousy during the day but I eat a good dinner every night...I have always had trouble eating breakfast..Look and see if you love breakfast and have trouble with other meals.... I meant I can't eat very much..it is like my sleeve closes up and I can only eat 1/2 an egg and 1 slice bacon....if that..Not that I eat the wrong stuff...Most of the time I eat yogurt for breakfast...It sits well for me!

This might sound stupid

I've lost 10lbs. in about a month by just giving up my waaaaay too calorie-heavy coffee (20 oz. cup each morning with cream and flavor syrup, total of 350 calories), and having a protein shake for breakfast instead of a fast food egg/sausage/cheese sammich on a bagel (which had to have topped 500-600 calories). Lunch is Greek yogurt with a side of cut melon chunks or a dozen almonds to crunch on. Dinner is a light meal and I use protein shakes to fill in as a snack in the afternoon if I need it. I didn't increase exercise or do anything else, and I lost more than 2lbs. per week. I just KNOW you can find a few small changes, like I did, that will add up to the magic 10%--you can do it! -
Definitely not a piece of cake- 1 month post-op
Bredred replied to ms.k's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:hugs. I'm sorry it's been rough. I'm not a fan of shakes either. I've only had 2 since my surgery on July 1. Now that I'm on puree, I get most in with foods by relying on baby bel light cheese 6 grams) and WW low fat cheese sticks (7 grams of protein). My breakfast this morning was 2 egg whites and a baby bel omelet for 16 G protein. Yesterday I had a very high protein lunch by having .3 cups chicken taco meat with WW cheese stick melted on it and a dollop of fat free Greek yogurt. -
Definitely not a piece of cake- 1 month post-op
teacher replied to ms.k's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 6 weeks post-op and I despise protein shakes and bars and I know I don't get 60 grams of protein a day but you are eating the same things that I am. I too eat Greek yogurt daily. I eat string cheese and some lunch meat for lunch and then my husband is a big griller so I eat hamburger patties, pork chops and steak for supper. I only eat the protein instead baked potato, salad, etc. along with the protein. That way I don't get too full before I get the protein down. I too have fine, thin hair and I worry about my hair falling out too but then I think of all of the starvation diets that I been on through the years and I was never bald. So we are in this together but I think you are doing better than you think you are. Stay positive and know that you are supported! -
Hi there! Im sure I dont go over 1100 calories a day, wine included. I weigh and measure everything I eat, and if I decide to go for that 2nd glass, then I'll just have 1/4 cup of frozen yogurt for dessert instead of the 1/2 serving. Besides, dont they say red wine is good for the heart? (in moderation, ofcourse!)

I was banded 7/10 - had my first fill on 8/8 and was on four flights in the last two days. I too had similar questions. I didn't eat on the plane - only had Water. I did eat about an hour or two before flying and didn't feel any different flying than i did prior to being banded. As with everything you read here the recurring theme applies to this as well... everyone is different and reacts differently. I wouldn't expect to have any concerns, especially this early on in the process. Eat a sensible Breakfast and you shouldn't be hungry on the flights. If you are, grab a yogurt as you're running thru the airport to your next flight! I did notice that so many of the airport vendors have fruit and healthy choices. You'll do great Good luck!

Just fill blah. And achy. I feel better standing or laying down. I started the protein shakes today and had some yogurt but my stomach didn't agree and I was running to the bathroom over and over again. I want food. I hate watching tv bc of the food commercials!! Flipping KFC.. I hate U!! So anyway, does anybody eat plain cottage cheese? Or do you add stuff to make it taste good?

Yesterday was my post op check up. It was a week late due to my mom broken hip. I had a protein shake for breakfest but packed my lunch of chicken salad and Special K all grain crackers (if you guys have not tried these do they are GREAT! and only 120 calories for 24 crackers) Anyway the one thing he really preached at me is NO liquid calories. No more shakes ect.... That i must eat all my calories now and if it is eaten with a spoon its liquid.. Well i have been eating alot of yogurts. Also no more drinks till at least an hour after. He also said dont worry bout carbs just solids and liquids. So this is what i did yesterday. I made sure to eat solid foods and stay away from the liquids and while i had gained a lb so yesterday i lost that pound as well as another. Yea I got this!

Hey, its no shame to have a bit of cake ! lots of people do ! i have a little treat everyday and include it in my daily log on myfitnesspal.com. ( Chocolate should be one of the 4 basic food groups ) As far as breakfast goes, i have to have breakfast everday or im horribly cranky with low blood sugar. since i dont have time to sit down and eat a proper breakfast, i fill up several baggies each week with raw almonds, turkey jerky and a half a protein bar. that way when i run out the door i can just grab a baggie, and maybe a yogurt or a Boost protein drink too. (I also keep a baggie in my purse ) It saves me from a Mcdonalds breakfast etc. Try making up some baggies or tupperware with your favorite healthy snacks for those rushed mornings. Celery and pb, apples and almonds, protein bars, breakfast cookies (from Taste of Home website) etc....... good luck !!!

My soft protein phase included greek yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, canned tuna, canned chicken, and lots of fresh fish. I can't imagine eating baby food with so many other choices available. I may have misunderstood and you might be talking about the mushie stage. I did not have that stage in my diet plan. I went from liquids to the "soft protein" stage.

Need Some Advice. Getting Enough Protein But What About Veggies?
2012 replied to lucky2bLAURA's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Try taking 2 cups of spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, and 1 yogurt (I use greek to get my protein) and blend away. It keeps me full and you get in some veggies. The v8 spicy juice is pretty good too. -
This is funny that this post is here because today I am in that stage and I am craving something crazy. I found something to help. Healthy choice has a new Greek frozen yogurt. It is amazing. Low calories and low fat and lots of protein. I told my nutritionist about them and she said they are fine for me. So there you go a sweet tooth satisifier.

The yogurt and almonds are my breakfast. I add the almonds to add fiber to the yogurt. And for lunch I have an open face tuna sandwich with a few cucumbers. Which leaves me satisfied. But only for an Hour or two. I don't know. But I know since I'm not losing I'm not in the green anymore.

Real Hunger vs. Head Hunger
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! replied to Birdie1973's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
LOL I DO have kids at home and I still don't buy that stuff or keep it in the house! Let's face it, garbage food isn't any better for them than it is for me. My logic is, why would I feed my kids crap and not myself? That wouldn't make a very good mother. My kids love string cheese, almonds, and yogurt. They even love the SF pudding that I snack on occasionally. The only thing they snack on that I don't is granola bars because they're too much sugar for me. EDIT: Oh and fresh fruit. My kids go through TONS of fresh fruit a week! -

Dreaded Stall
triciakae replied to Jennifer Cunningham's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i have been eating a variety of foods that have chicken, such as stir frys and what not. For Snacks I have been eating pork Rinds, Greek yogurt (the seasonal caramel Apple Pie is my favorite!) I will also snack on Nature's Valley with Protein bars. With my food selections I make sure they have at least 10 grams of protein in them. I eat about every 2-3 hours. -
Thing is it isn't nausea. It is a PB (productive burp) that sometimes turns into full scale vomiting, although not often. I am worried what the signs are of a lapband slipping. Yogurt doesn't even go down - too thick.

Original poster are you outside of the US? Last I heard Benefiber was no longer sold in the US. I buy a flavorless fiber powder at Costco that I add to my daily yogurt. I also take a couple Vitafusion gummy fiber chews.

Try isopure. Also sometimes I mix my protein with sf jello prepared pudding and sometimes I add pb2. Also try experimenting wtih shakes. You can use sf ff instant pudding mixes or sf syrups, pb2 or even yogurt. Protein is very important from now on. Of course by the time you get to mushy and solids you really need to be eating your protein not drinking it.

Had a scrambled egg!!!!
FatJuicyMouse replied to Jordien's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jordien, since you tried it and were okay, I decided to try it but added some Laughing Cow cheese. Lord, do I miss cheese, especially melted cheese. Took me half an hour to get it down and I am jonesing for some juice to wash it down but I ate it all and it was GOOD! It has taken a lot of the fear away of moving to the next stage for me. It was certainly much easier to get down than the greek yogurt I added waaaay too much protein powder to. Interesting trip - never thought I would be afraid to eat!
