I had the best meal for the first time in a week last night.

I went to Google and searched Phase Two Lap Band Diet. I read some tips on drinking the Protein supplement in two ounce spurts all day.

Yesterday I returned to work and after a few hours thought I would pass out. Partly I think to not enough protein/sustenance.

I got very soft herbal and garlic gourmet cheese and Water crackers. I took about an hour to eat six crackers with the cheese on top wetting the crackers down as I ate with AdvantEDGE Carb Control. This proved to be a great meal. I was not weak, sick nor did my stomach hurt.

Last night was a great night! Feeling much stronger today.

Shirley,

I was banded on March 8, 2007 and I don't think your doing anything wrong. I have only lost 22 lbs to date and it's coming off slowly. I was told that some people loose slower than other and until you get to the desired "sweet spot" of your band it doesn't come off as fast for some.

Hang in there it will be ok.

Amy

Hi Deanna

They are actually called water crackers. Pepperidge Farm makes water crackers but these were by Carrs. They are a round white cracker. No salt, rather bland, not fatty.

Got another one for you. stepped it up to BABY food. Oh yeah! Gerber saved the day with peas and carrots that tasted like they were just picked. Mac and cheese with that and the cheese was not oily. This came in a frozen entree for Phase 3 toddlers. I think I'm turned on to baby food now! I think grown up Soup is even too much for me to handle.

Lap Dance. ...(winks) give me six months.

      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.
