Hello all. I just spent a few hours reading through this thread. I do admire you all for your commitment to making the band work for you. I noticed a few people have not been posting recently and hope you all come back and get support and encouragement from your fellow banders.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Kat how you getting on? Hope everything is still healing well for you xx
Tranquil x Thanks for visiting! Always great to get positive encouragement for the banders..we definately need it

Well , I hope everyone is allright today x I am weighing tomorrow morning and feeling anxious over it as I hope I can report a new low weight.
Been obsessing over it this week , not good! But Dean and I have been trying really hard to do the low fat & calorie counting.

Made a stir fry last night with beef strip style quorn and it was suprisingly nice and low in cals..definately would use it again for the cal saving.

As Tranquil said, some of us have fallen by the wayside but I hope everyone is still around in the background!
Leesh, Rache, Jenn....not seen you all week...Sallie....Candy as well...been ages since you have all posted.
Hope everyone is OK and not struggling alone...we don't want to do that anymore xxxx

Good luck for your weigh in Nina, you have tried really hard this week so you deserve a loss at the scales XX

 

[Neen]

Thanks Jacqui!!! I am definately nervous about it eeeek

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Fingers crossed for you Neen - you are working so hard - you deserve this loss.

[Neen]

Thanks Tranquil! If I am mysteriously not around for a bit tomorrow...it's probably due to no loss...I have to allow for sulking and licking wounds time before I post again!

 

[Mazza]

Will have my fingers crossed for you that the pound plus maybe the one next to it get moving - on your bike pounds, your not needed!

 

[dottychic]

I too am waiting for 1 lb loss to get me to a 10 year low Nina so I know how you feel. My scales havnt moved for almost 2 weeks and I am patiently (not really) waiting for it to shift We can both do it XX

 

[Mazza]

Has anyone tried japenese food post op? sushi for instance, I really, really fancy some but Im figuring sashimi would be best as there is no rice in it?

 

[Neen]

Thanks so much Mazza and Jacqui xxx
Good luck for all the imminent weigh ins!

Mazza I have had the Tescos and Sainsburys Vegetarian sushi plus the Tesco ones with Tuna or chicken and I have found it OK with rice...like california rolls etc.
With the rice it's really filling. Depends how chewy the fish is as well..the tuna one I had was like tinned tuna rather than raw and it was fine. Quite moist and yummy.
I spose also it depends how tight your band is that day as well.
I love it though.

 

[Mazza]

I love it too Neen but I havent had rice since March 09 - Im scared to try it

We want to go out for a meal tomorrow night after all the shopping and we both really like sushi - suppose I could just try a few bits. Im sure Jim will manage the rest

 

[Neen]

Sounds like a good idea! Do you ever have any Japanese desserts? Some of their cakes look awesome! I know they have a lot of that red bean curd in desserts..what's that like?
Ever had the little fish shaped pastries? Tayaki? I think.

 

[Mazza]

Nope never tried them Neen - Im definatly more of a savoury person. Dont get me wrong I love a bit of chocolate, Im a girl after all! lol but I dont really having puddings.

Bean curd as in tofu? well I love tofu, it doesnt taste of anything but adds texture and takes on the flavour of what its cooked with.

 

[Neen]

Hmm not sure...I think they are bean beans not tofu as such..aduki maybe? I don't know if they much go into chocolate. I know they have a lot of things flavoured with green tea....have you seen the size of their apples? Big fuji apples are enormous!!! Like big grapefruit size!
Here's some japanese desserts..they go for fruity and dainty by the looks of them.

[Mazza]

Wow thanks Neen!

I think we might try this place

MYO Resturant - Indian, Chinese, Thai and Meditteranean Cuisine

Oohhh I feel hungry now x x

 

[Neen]

OOH looks gooooood!!! That seems a good idea, if you can have a little serving of everything rather than a big set course.
I promise I was not swayed by the choc fountain tee hee

 

[Mazza]

Yep thats what I thought, I tend to just nibble and pick so its sounds a perfect banders option!

Mmm I saw the chocolate fountain, never tried one though. x

 

[Leesh]

Hi all,

Hope you are all ok,

Sorry I havent been posting, I have been trying to keep up with reading the thread but have just started a new job so been really busy.

Band wise I think I am doing pretty well, weight loss slowed down to nothing but I had my first fill on Monday so i have had a bit of a kickstart and lost another couple of pounds this week. my provider said she would get all three of my fills done before Christmas if I wanted but I am so busy and dont really have the time to attend all the appointments and stuff. I have told her that I will just take it easy and take my time.

Not had any solid foods yet since my fill so not sure if it has had any effect. Im a bit scared to try really but will give it a go tomorrow.

Thanks for the hunks again Neen, nice selection as always, you have excellent taste!! hehe.
