I'm in TJ! - my experience so far
Holly replied to DisasterWalking73's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
I have never had to use my card and I order kids meals all the time. I have never had one person at a restaurant ever say anything! I live in AZ...but I have ordered kids meals off menu's in CA and OK as well. -
I could hardly eat anything for like the first 2 weeks after surgery...and then as I healed and the swelling went down...I could eat whatever I wanted...just like before. I was very frustrated at first until I finally got my first good fill. You just have to be patient...make good food choices and know that there will be a time here real soon that you will have restriction.

hey there Odette I did the slimfast and a lean cuisine plan...it was def hard...but I drank broth in between...every time I was hungry...or ate things that were "free" food on weight watchers...like cucumber...green peppers...celery. That seriously helped me...even though it was not what I was wanting to eat...it helped me to have the saltiness of the broth...and crunchiness of the raw veggies.

I had a slice of a quesadilla with salsa slathered all over it! It was sooooo good.

I paid cash...sorry.

thank you everyone! It does feel pretty amazing I must admit! My original goal was 175...which I am at...but I always knew I would want lower than that. I am now kind of going 20 pounds at a time...to see how I look. I will just stop whenever I am liking what I see! I honestly think it will be at around 150 though. THEN...I want to get my TT and boob lift at some point! I have to save up for that one though!

for me...the feeling of "fullness" is totally different. In a sick and weird way...I miss the old feeling of being "full". Now...I am just not hungry..and I feel satisfied with very little.

I have never even had protein shakes post band...I make my own smoothies with greek yogurt and whatever I feel like blending into it. I have never been able to find a diet shake I like. The greek yogurt I buy has 24 g of protein in it and is only 120 calories.

You will know if you are drinking too much or too fast...it will either not feel good...or come right back up. I suck/chew on ice all day. I know some will give me a hard time about ice and the teeth...but I like it and I get my fluids in!
