smoothies are thick.. How do you get it all in?



Recommended Posts

I bought the Pacifac Chai Low Carb vanilla at kroger's. I am not sure what stores you have where you live. But I do know that Kroger's carries it. If not ask your supermarket to get it in. I had to ask mine to get in no sugar carnation instant Breakfast.

I am finally on food. Have been for a week.

I drink Water when I get up

Protein shake on the way to work - not too thick, I am getting this down.

1 scrambled egg or yogurt for Breakfast

Water

meat and veggie for lunch

water

Protein Shake on the way home from work

water

dinner

water - if I can get it down. A lot of times after dinner I am not eat or drink anything until I go to bed. I stay full for so long with dinner

This was was a little hard as mother nature called and I really wanted chocolate.

I had a little and spit it out. It did not even taste good to me anymore.

Gotta love that.

I would not go that far, I just had some McDonald's fro breakfast. I will say that that is the first time I have ever not eaten a whole breakfast sandwhich. Let alone not even half of one and with only half of the bread part.

I am not a perfect bandster by far. I have cheated and over eaten. I have a real hard time thinking of what 2 oz are. I know that I eat a lot more then that at each meal. Well lunch and dinner. I eat way too fast. I have not had a PB yet or get anything stuck in my stoma. But I know that I will be one that needs a fill at 6 weeks out. I can already tell the diffence in my hunger. I try to control it but last night I ate until I hurt. I was soooo hungry and over ate. Did not get sick, but I know that I ate too much.

From what I have read on here though I will only be able to eat the 2 oz after a fill. Then my weight loss will start moving again. I lost most the week before on liquids and the first week after surgery. I did not lose anything the 2nd week and now am about 3 pounds a week.

I still have a hard time getting in my Water. I am getting in 32 oz of Water, plus 16 oz of milk. I try to get in a little bit more at work, but it is hard.

You have done very well yourself New Hope. 180, I cannot wait to see that again I was that when I got pregnant with my daughter.

hey mom.....

i don't know about you, but, i don't think anyone is a perfect bandster... it didn't take 3 months to put the weght on,,,, it takes time to retrain your mind, and your body...i had a fill done about 6 weeks into it, it made a huge difference.... i'm actually considering anotherone...but i want to make sure it's the right thing... i can eat more that 2 ounces..... but i don't have the hunger pains i use to before the filll... the hard part for me is not to eat between meals and late night snacking, even though i'm not hungry.... like i said, it's a lot of retraining the mind..... best wishes.... you're doing great... don't give up...

      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.
