update on my fill and DH

First  RUth, Nurse came today and asked about you and she said a girl named Sarah was scheduled to come but you two could talk if you wanted to. but I understand it is out of your way.  All is cool, he is doing well, pain off and on, I think he is trying to ween off the meds and then it kicks his ass so he goes back.  WEll that will teach him.  anyway.  I"m pooped, MLM comes back home tonight, i need to go get him at 6:00.  now I need to start cleaning and cooking for some family and some gifts on Sat.  plus will have company over from tonight to  SUnday.  as for my fill, it is doing OK, i am having a hard time getting most foods in, especially the proteins (chicken, shrimp, ground pork)  I did have a protein shake today, to make up for it.  after the little bit I ate for 2 days, I gainned 2 lbs. hehe,  I guess those 5 saltines and that drink did it.  hmmm??  anyway, i've done well today.  I"m still trying to figure out what to eat.  trying to do low carbs and not being able to eat meats is tough??? any suggestions.  besides shakes "I WANT TO CHEW" hehe  BTW, I hate eggs.

have a great day,
cheryl

Glad to see another band person on this website.  I am scheduled for surgery on the 30th.  I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Welcome to the board.....

hey, I'm here for you girl, i'm an old pro, hahahaaaaaahhaaa, boy I crack myself up.  Its really been a trial and error journey.  there aren't many banders here on the maine board, and seems like we all have different dr's so that has been a different journey for banders.  RNY seems much more consistant with everyone.  we all get our fills at different rates and they all affect each of us differently.  but at any rate, welcome....

How about something like a crustless quiche? Oops you hate eggs.....do you hate them cooked in things? I have a recipe for a mock french toast using ricotta or mock cheese danish using cream cheese if you think you might like something like that?

TVP is good for chili instead of meat.

OMG, I love french toast... would love that recipe.  and chili, yum, didn't think of that, without the beans (carbs)  I can do that... thanks oh, I will eat quiche, those mini bites that eggface makes, yes,  will keep those in mind. yumm, might make some tonight.

1/2 -3/4 cup ricotta cheese
4 eggs, beaten
spenda
cinnamon

Mix together, pour into 8" square greased baking pan; bake at 350 degrees until not wiggly in center.

Cut and serve with favorite french toast topping

OOHHHHHHHHHHHH, that sounds awesome, thank you... check out eggface's recipe of the day,"Stuffed Peppers" carb free. hheheheee

To heck with the stuffed peppers........I'm all over the chocolate protein truffles!

What about your turkey wrapped pickles?  And if you chew, chew, chew?
