Hello everyone! I need some helpful advice.... I'm going out on a date tomorrow night and he wants to try out some new Indian restaurant. I've never had Indian cuisine.. what items do they serve that are lapband friendly?

Now all can understand the Power of the CLAW!!!

I don't think we can understand the CLAW until we have experienced the CLAW. How's that going for you Fenton? :yikes:

I must admit that the CLAW is a heavy burden indeed...

As to Indian food, off the top of my head I'd say saag paneer - pureed spinach with soft Indian cheese - shouldn't be too bad. I'm not v. restricted so I don't have tremendous insight into this subject.

Just did forty minutes on the wii fit aerobics routines....I really like the stepper....took me a bit to figure it out, but once I got the hang of it, it's pretty fun!

I'm not very good at the skiing ones, though.......

I really like the Wii Fit, but have not done it for awhile. It will probably call me a couch potato when I get back on.

I have been struggling for 6 weeks with 3 pounds, up one week down the next and so on and so on. Over the weekend I decided if I'm going to get over this hump then I need to start my exercising again so I'm glad to say that I did 45 minutes on the treadmill both Saturday and Sunday and I'm going to start journaling my food intake again today. I keep hovering at 190 and occassionally get below it to 188 then it goes back up again, grrrr!! I want to get into the 180's and if I'm going to do it I decided that I had to get serious, so today's the day!! Wish me luck for a better week this week! :)

Go Teri!

I started journaling yesterday, too.....I decided that my intake was probably more than I thought it was and it was time to get honest with myself. I do find that I think more when I journal.....and evaluate if it's really "necessary"!

Hope this week is banner for both of us!

      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.
