Recommended Posts

I can admit when I first git banded I was messing up big time on eating the wrong thing. Now im trying hard and don't know what to eat. I have been doing shakes for Breakfast if I get hungry I would eat chips and salsa before lunch im just stuck and in bad need for help.

Hi I was banded in May 09 also. Get back to basics. Cut down on the shakes, eat 1 or 2 eggs for breakfast. I have one egg on toasted pepporage farm flat bread. That should certinly hold you over. 1 egg and 1 flat bread is less than 200 Calories and the flat bread has a good amount of Fiber. lunch again more protien first, than veg. I am now working out 6 days a week so I might have a protien shake in between but the ones I buy are low carb only 100 calories. also drink your Water. Just get back to basics.

Breakfast - 1 egg, 1 pepporage farm flat bread, 1 wedge laughing cow low fat cheese. 1 tbs katsup

lunch - 6 onz bison burger, broccoli salad (Stemed than no fat dressing)

snack - 1 scoup Protien powder, 2 tbs 1/2 & 1/2, 2 cups coffie, ice, blended into smoothie. 6 Almonds

dinner - 6 onz chicken breast, with a mustard honey sauce. I also tried these Tofo Noodles, which were actually fairly good.

Now I am getting a bit hungry, planned a snack of 1/2 cup Trader Joes' High Fiber Cereal.

So far today has been a good day about 1000 cal, trying to do lower carb. I have been working hard the last week or so to get my food back on track. Was not bad before just too many carbs and for me it is hard to loose when my carbs are too high.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
