Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi, - we don't do recipes here, sorry. People can put recipes they like in the files here, but we don't take up space posting them becuase we are here to teach and support the band process. There are a million other recipe sites where you can get good ideas. Try the WW sites. But I'm concerned about your post. Pasta and salads are not good band food, and if this is all you can eat, something is wrong. It's likely that you are too tight, and need an unfill for safety. Please see your doc soon to get a fluoro and discuss all this. Trying to keep a too-tight fill is very dangerous, and leads to all kinds of problems, some requiring band removal. For both health and SAFE loss, we need daily solid protein, veggies, cereal grains, nonfat calcium sources, and a bit of fruit. If you cannot eat these foods, something is not right. We should always be able to eat a variety of foods, for both health and pleasure. Banding is not supposed to be about misery and deprivation. Please see the Band Guide in the files here for more on all this, and the protein/fiber/calcium nutrition goals we should all be meeting most of the time. You may also need some blood tests, if you have been unable to eat the good iron sources - red meat, pork, turkey, spinach, etc several times a week. Some people who are not eating well and meeting the nutrition goals are getting badly anemic, and this also is dangerous. Also be sure you're taking a daily chewable multi-vitamin, as we all should. I use the Centrum chewables. This does not replace good eating, though. Please do see your Band doc for a checkup. you have lost ok , but I'm concerned it is not a healthy loss, nor one that wil stay off this time. The goal of banding is never to lose " at any cost " - it is to lose slowly and SAFELY, so the wt will stay off this time and will not further harm our health.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 If you've lost 50 in six months, you're losing faster than average (which would be 25 to 50 since then). However, by simple math, the more you lose, the slower you lose, on average. That's something that we don't like to hear, but.....so it goes. What is your starting weight, how tall are you, what's your goal? As to tofu recipes, either go to your big local bookstore and get a book of them, or simple google tofu recipes and you'll get more of them than you can imagine. Avoid pasta. It is evil. For many of us it gets stuck very quickly and easily, unless it has a lot of sauce on it, and most sauces aren't healthy either. You should also be able to eat plenty of meats, as long as are moist and you chew well. dan Saturday, December 29, 2007, 10:44:36 AM, you wrote: > i need any low cal recepies that will go down easily.i find that things like salad and pastas is > all that goes down easily.i have been banded since july 07 and have onlylost about 50 pounds > which might be ok but i want to continue to lose. -- " It's OK to be a little broken, everybody's broken in this life " Jon Bon Jovi Dan Lester, Boise, Idaho, USA www.mylapband.tk Banded 4/27/03, Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana Started at 355, at goal in the 210-220 range for almost 4 years Ultimate goal of 195 Tummytuck in Boise and SmartLipo in Tijuana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
