I try to remind myself about the Lap Band rules..it usually only happens some of the time...therefore I am putting them here to reinforce them in my head:
- Three small meals a day
- Eat slowly and chew thoroughly
- Stop eating as soon as you feel satisfied
- Limit drinking during meals
- Limit snacking
- Eat only nutritious foods
- Avoid fiberous foods
- Drink 64oz+ water each day
- Drink only low calorie drinks
- Exercise
Thanks I needed that.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I think when it is so simple, it is so easy to forget! We all need reminders whether you are a newbie or not so newbie....
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hmm, never heard the fiberous food bit. My doc recommends lots of fresh fruit and veg and legumes- what is the thinking behind limiting it from your perspective? (or your Docs?)
ReplyDeleteJust curious ;-)
I love that too. We should all post it where we can see it and read it everyday. I've heard of limiting fibrous foods such as asparagus and corn. I can eat cooked asparagus no problem, but corn gets stuck (unless it is popcorn-then I can eat a ton).
ReplyDeleteDamn straight. I think I am going to tattoo that on my forearm.
ReplyDeleteSandy that's so funny - I can eat regular corn like it's going out of business but popcorn STICKS. lol Why are we all so different!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rules reminder LBG! :)
The golden rules, I sometimes think we need to have these tattooed on our palms so that we cannot forget them:)
ReplyDeleteI should get this for my next tattoo! Its so easy to forget the basics-
ReplyDeleteI have problems with #2 & 3. Also with taking small bites. The fiberous foods my surgeon told me to avoid was celery and asparagus. Luckily I don't care for either.
