Sounds as though this would be an expensive way to go. A bit like doing "lite n easy" or one of those other programs.

I think it is important that we learn to cook nutritious, band friendly meals for ourselves. I'm not saying you are one of them but I know there are a lot of people that don't cook at all and I think in many instances this can be a contributing factor to weight gain.

I like,as far as possible, to eat the same as the rest of my family. I don't want to be different.

Occasionally however there is nothing wrong with using a service like this. Its also good to be able to have some healthy prepared meals in the freezer for when you don't have time to cook.

One of the big selling points of the band, at least to me, was that I would be able to eat normal food, just less of it. I don't really want something I can't get easily and locally at my neighborhood grocer...no special ordering, no Jenny Craig type stuff or only "Atkins" bars or WW bread. Been there, done that.

And elcee, I agree with you totally when you say "I don't want to be different". We are totally sympatico there! I've been dieting, on a diet, or cheating on a diet most of my life! LOL Now I just want to be.

Had my first solid meal!! I ordered it.....from bandasticmeals.com..... It was okay. Better than my cooking! Anybody order that?

that looks like a great way to, as its advertised, supplement your weekly diet. I drink my Breakfast because a) its early and I don't have time to cook something in the morning and :tongue_smilie: I'm basically lazy having a healthy Breakfast burrito sounds great!

It's only my husband and myself so I don't have to cook for kids anyway but we rarely eat the same thing at dinner anyway, even before the surgery.

Suzette-did you get the full order or 1/2 order? did you get anything else? keep me updated, I'm thinking about trying the 1/2 order.

Getting this by mail seems like a great way to have something very healthy when I'm tired after work and may be tempted to get something thats not so good for me.

I placed the half order, to try it out.... But, I will be ordering again. The portions are very small.... but, it's a good option for me to have something healthy ready to go if I need it! For some people, it may be just as easy to cook a piece of raw fish or chicken, but not for me. I don't like to cook :tongue_smilie:

      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.
