Bandster *Must Have/Favorite* Products!

[Humming Bird 275]

The one product I continue to use after all this time is Vitafusion brand Fiber gummies (Target). Many bandsters seem to have trouble with regularity and these are what I have found to work the best for me.

I still use Protein powders when I don't feel I'm getting in enough Protein. The nectar brand roadside lemonaide is great when I don't feel like something milky. (order online to find lowest price)

The one thing I would like to add is, my nutritionist said we are to have no more than 2 grams of sugar per entree. I truly believe this to be the reason I am losing so well. I use the sugar free carnation instant Breakfast with my Protein and it tastes great. They are many sugar free items available to us now, from Cookies to candy to pudding, I love them all. You still have to use the sugar free candy and cookies in moderation because they do have a lot of calories, but they sure have helped me. I know a lot of people still eating sugar in quantities higher than 2 grams, but some of them are having trouble losing also. I am sure some people would argue that with me and that is ok. I just know for me, sticking to the 2 grams has become a law for me and it works. I have also found Swanson broth to be very tasty, I use the lowfat. I thought the chicken flavor was very good. Good luck and happy losing!!!!!

sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles saved my life on more than on occassion during the 4 weeks of liquid and mushies following surgery. Also sugar free hot cocoa is delicious and only 25 calories per serving.

Also Gummy Vitamins are a must and in the beginning I also took the chocolae Calcium chews to insure I was getting enough Calcium in the early stages.

Like others have said sodium free broth is helpful to have on hand as is sugar free Jello and pudding when you get to that stage.

Something I began from the day I started eating solids is using a calorie counter and a kitchen scale. I use calorie counter from fatsecret.com. Its a free ap for your phone but you can also track it on the computer. Its a wonderful way to get you in the habit of making sure you are getting all your nutrition in. The kitchen scale will teach you Portion Control and prevent you from overeating.

Best of luck to you!
