:hungry: Isn't it fun saving money on food? Since lap banders can't eat much we can spend more money on new clothes.

Is anyone having a hard time going out to eat? I have found that if you tell the waitress you have had lap band surgery abd aren't able to eat much they will allow you to order off the childrens menu.

Here's my day. I just got my fourth fill, and I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting.

Breakfast: 1/4 cup cottage cheese

Lunch: Trader Joes Indian Fare Bengali Lentils (1/2 package)

Dinner: Boca Burger with one slice cheese. 1/4 cup frozen blueberries.

Does this seem ok?

I eat what I want about 25% of what I used to eat. I enjoy food way too much to deny myself of all pleasures. My body hasn't told me what it won't digest yet. Oh..and I don't exercise either. I figure right when my body tells me what I can't eat, I'll probably have time to exercise then. *grin*

Lets try that again!

Easy is best for me.

Breakfast - coffee w/ff flavored cream & instant oatmeal

lunch - hard boiled egg and grapes

dinner - Hormel's new "compleat" meal - chicken, gravy, and mashed potatoes - only 220 calories, 3g fat, and 21g Protein.

Snacks - as usual - sf popsicles - they keep me sane

Go Bandsters!

Interesting...I like seeing what others are eating.

Here's what I had yesterday:

Breakfast: Slim Fast Low Carb Choc. shake with a Bananna

Lunch: Half slice oat bread-toasted with 2oz Muenster cheese

Dinner: 4 oz chicken and 1/2 c. broccolini

Dessert: Two tablespoons of no sugar ice cream.

This morning: Slim Fast Low Carb Choc. shake with a Bananna and 1 teaspoon of crunchy Peanut Butter...in the Magic Bullet.

Funny when I was in liquid only stage...I was getting so tired of the Slim Fast shakes. Now...I am craving them! Sometimes I have shakes for two of my meals.

      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.
