I am 1 year post-op and I think I am in in a rut. I need some new recipes or food ideas to spice up my eating habits. I have 8lbs to go to goal!!! ( yahooo!!!), but I feel that I am slipping because I am tired of the foods I am eating. I find that I try new food ( yes I am still "trying" new foods a year out), and I get stuck, or it doesn't go so well. Does anyone have any great recipes, websites, or books to recommend to this bandster that just needs a jump start?

Thanks!!!!

Talk about a contrasting positions, I was just banded last Thursday the 23rd. I don't know the first thing I will even try to eat, but I ordered these two books and they look like they have some great recipes. The titles are, Eating Well After Weightloss Surgery and Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery. I've also found this website for healthy eating and have found some things I plan on trying when I'm able to eat again. That website is www.Sparksrecipes.com If you wouldn't mind sharing some of your food choices I sure would appreciate hearing back from you. Thanks for any suggestions you may have. Congratulations on you success. I started out at 282 and am down to 266 as of yesterday. My goal is to get to between 150-160 myself. You are an inspiration to so many of us out there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
