This Weeks Bandster Challenge!



Recommended Posts

Toward the end of each LapBandTalk.com newsletter, we’ll be suggesting a Bandster Challenge for you to try before the next food, change up your exercise routine or lend someone a helping hand. There’s no pass-fail on this, and we encourage you to try again and again until you are confident that you’ve met the challenge.

Current Challenge: New Recipe!

Within the next two weeks, your challenge is to try a new recipe that you have never tried before. It needs to be healthy, of course, and fit into your meal plan. A good way to start is to look at our recipes, try a new ingredient or use a different combination of spices. Good luck, and tell us how it goes by posting a response to this topic! The forum is a good place to help out anyone else who needs ideas for a new recipe.

I made my own Tandoori chicken salad, including the Tazitzki dressing. Just finished eating it for lunch and it was delicious! I'm still enjoying the spicy taste in my mouth and on my tongue. And only 166 calories per serve. Actually, less because the recipe made four serves at 166 calories and I wasn't able to eat a full serve.

I just tried making cream cheese pancakes that I found on pinterest. So yummy, and just what I needed to break my food rut.

2oz cream cheese

2 eggs

I packet splenda/truvia

Cinnamon if wanted

Mix up everything in a bullet/mini chop and let settle for a bit. Then cook 1/4 of the mix at a time in a hot pan (I used med heat) with a little butter or Pam. Top with sugar free Syrup or preserves or fresh fruit. Yummy!

      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.
