LULUC - I was looking at the powder version of muscle milk today - the calories are much more reasonable than the pre-made shake - but I did find the muscle milk lite pre made chocolate shakes at costco today - going to give them a try and compare. I tend to like the pre-made shakes because I throw one in a blender w/ 1/2 carton nonfat plain greek yogurt and it ends up tasting like cheesecake w/ a Protein boost. (even better with a little espresso powder)

Today:

Brunch: mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

S: 3 cheese puffs, string cheese stick

D: 1/2 c. chicken tortilla Soup w cubed avocado, shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips on top.

Dessert: 2/3 c. nonfat plain frozen yogurt w/ chocolate drizzle

Have had a GI virus the past two days -

I did vomit quite a bit yesterday and am worried that I may have damaged my band. I have been able to drink and was able to have half a slice of toast. I had an appointment for a fill on Monday so figured I will see then. Have any of you ever been sick while banded? TIA.

hope your feeling better!!

my dr wants us to have a script of phenegran on hand in case nausea or vomiting should occur. might want to get a hold of some - it really works!!

kc- i have playing around a LOT w/protein powders of late, and trying out new shakes; i've never tried the "lite" version of muscle milk - heard it wasn't great; but i do see the ready made one's in the gym, i might give one a try. thnkx

yesterday - didn't feel so hot myself

b- pomegrante/blueberry Protein smoothie

l - trail mix

d- pear slices

Brunch - mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

snack - handful of cheese puffs

(the rest will probably be as follows:)

dinner - shake as above

snack - cheese, apple and Jerky

late meal - chicken tortilla Soup w/ cheese

snack - roasted edemame

with 5 or 6 meals/snacks and we need to be drinking 64oz+ of Water a day also, and with waiting 1hr before and after meals to drink, how is everyone getting all that done? What time are you starting your day?? I sometimes just snack for a meal also, but I am not satisfying my cravings. I'm not hungry, but I'm not satisfied either..any suggestions? also not dropping any weight.

Thanks

Texas

My doctor says to have 3 meals a day, and if I feel like I need a snack, make sure it's a high Protein snack.

Also, I make sure to constantly have a water bottle or a glass of Crystal Light with me at all times. I am always taking a sip of something, probably every 5 minutes or so, throughout the day.

      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.
