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.

      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.
