16.9 oz WATER with Multi-vitamin, Bariatric Advantage Iron Chew, and B1
Food I Can't Eat: Ground Beef. I just can't chew it all the way into "applesauce consistency" like us bandsters are supposed to. I am still dreading my first PB/Stuck episode. I eat EVERYTHING ELSE.
Foods that I can eat, and eat, and eat (SLIDERS!): Chips, crackers, nuts, cookies, chocolate, ice cream, and cake. Yum.
Now it's your turn...What is your typical day?
Sounds great. You are such a good girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!! You and Amy W. are so inspirational. I learn a lot from you two (and others).
ReplyDeleteYou have never PB'd? Amazing in itself!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Sounds like a completely and realistically manageable intake for the long term. Dr. Oz so needed a bandster on there who had gotten to goal and was eating like a real human for the long haul. And I do wish he'd brought up vitamin supplements too, as they're really important for a lot of WLS folks, including us. I don't take D or calcium, but I do a chewable multi, gummy vitamin C, chewy omega-3, and sublingual B-12.
ReplyDelete:)
thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - as a relatively new bandit, Im still figuring out the whole eating thing. Doc Oz just scared me! Your diet is nutritious and completely achieveable. Cheers :)

Wow! I wish I could say I've never PB'd. I think the first time I did was a couple of weeks after I was banded I popped a piece of deli ham in my mouth and forgot to chew, chew, chew and oh the pain.
ReplyDeleteWOW is all I can say....I was banded on March 31st and thought I had made a mistake. I am sure my road hasnt been any harder than anyone else's, but in my mind it was....My pre op started with ten days of clear liquid and am now on three weeks of modified full liquids. I have lost 19 lbs since the start of the pre op and this week the weight loss has stopped. No I am not back at the gym but sitting here today and reading your entire blog from the begining has given me the inspiration I need. Thanks so much for the great influence. Just what I needed when I needed it. Bella
ReplyDeleteHi Banded Bella,
ReplyDeleteDo you have a blog? Thanks for reading my blog, I hope it gives you some insight into what it's like to live with the band. Congrats on your loss so far. Keep going, it's all worth it :)
No blog as of yet, but I think I am gonna do it. Just thinking of a cute name that means something to me. I will keep you updated!!! FYI I am down 4 lbs this week which makes it 20 lbs down and I cant wait for my doctor to release me to go back to the gym!!!
