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:

I sometimes feel like cooking and sometimes I feel like reheating :tongue_smilie:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
