Simple Menu Ideas



Recommended Posts

I have been out of touch for awhile. My eating habits is out of control. I had my lap band surgery back in 12/05 and my weight was 320 lbs... I was doing good and had gone down to lbs.. I have not been back for a fill for over a year now.

I am reviewing menus now and trying to control my intake of food. If you follow a plan and think it could help me please send it my way.

I need all the help I can get!

Joe

Why have you not gotten a fill and gotten so far from the "lap band way"? I am just wondering because I do fall off the wagon sometimes and it is hard to get back up! Have you heard of the 5 day pouch test? When I really need to get myself straightened up I use this diet. I don't really recall all of the specifics of it except for the first 2 days you can only have soft Protein stuff like liquids and puddings and stuff like that. It is hard to follow but your pouch will hopefully shrink a bit plus it helps get all the cravings for bad stuff out of your system. That is where I would start. Go to google and type in 5 day pouch test. It will give you the web site that tells you exactly how to do it. Godd luck, and please let me know how you do.

Hey Joe

Glad to see that you are back on here and giving it a try. We all fall off so its good that you are ready to get back into the swing of things.

I would get yourself a fill for sure and then check out the food and Nutrition topics and the one called Share Ideas of what you ate today, etc.

Good Luck

      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.
