No foods are off limits. It's about moderation not deprivation.

I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches and have them regularly. I just use low fat cheese, whole grain bread, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray. I usually have half a sandwich with a nice cup of Tomato Soup. Yum!

I was at my support meeting last week and my dietitian (my 3rd one) does not believe in eating everything. My 2rd dietitian told me nothing is off limits. Same surgeon just different staff.(different hospitals) I do eat bread.

That's exactly why I say nothing is off limits. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what works, the trick is finding out what works best for you.

Btw, that would drive me nuts to have 2 NUTS giving conflict advice!

Every surgeon is indeed different. We are not allowed Soup, chili, Protein Shakes or anything that requires a spoon. No stipulations on bread though.

Wow!! I'm not even going to lie, there's no way I could follow that program. I eat chili 3-4 times a week and have a Protein shake for Breakfast every morning.

Grief how in the world can you eliminate Soup or chili? is that just for the first few weeks or permenantly? I eat chili alot, and soup and sometimes Protein shakes.. Chili and refried Beans saved my life after my liquid phase...

I have a Protein Shake, also every morning for Breakfast. It is very thick and sometimes I have to use a spoon because you can't drink it.

my doctor recommended eating a 1/2 sandwich for lunch . the purpose of a lap band is to eat solid food so you fill full and satisfied.

Chili is off limits period. He said that Soups , shakes, and chili go straight through and don't allow your pouch to fill.

      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.
