Hi Meagan! My name is Doug and I'm going to be getting my lap band very soon. I was told that I need to eat 60 grams of protein a day. Do these recipes account for that daily protein.

Anonymous- Congrats on the band!

This website is fantastic! I never knew there were so many cool and simple recipes for bandsters out there!
Im over filled at the moment and have been struggling along, but your website has inspired me to get a small unfill so I can start preparing healthy and yummy recipes.

Im going to be showing this website to my dietician who is exclusively for bandsters for my surgeon. She will love it!

The recipe is kinda a hodge podge of left-overs we had in the refrigerator.
It went something like this...

Crumbed turkey sausage
a can of drained diced tomatoes (Italian style)
Spaghetti sauce- just enough it make the mixture moist and stick together.
Let it simmer for a while.

For the zucchini, I just grilled it on the Gorge Foreman grill. I also like it sauteed like this:

Does anyone else have this same symptom/problem? When one has eaten something which sticks in the band and blocks the passage my nose starts to run. Its weird but what is the connection between the nose and the stomach? One person once suggested that its the body trying to lubricate the blockage to allow it through????

Hi Megan,
I am a Gastric Bypass post op, and my daughter just had Lap band done about three weeks ago. We came across some of your recipes in a magazine. We love the muffin tins recipes. What a great idea. Now That we have found your web site, we discovered we love more of your recipes, but they are not printer friendly. This would be a great way to improve your web site...
Anyway we want to say Thank you for sharing. It's been very helpful so far.

Hi,
I'm newly banded and just found this site - it's awesome. I'm still on liquids and find adding good spices to the shakes makes them much easier to drink. My favorite right now is basil with roadside lemonaide protein powder.

2009-10-14T06:43:11.758-07:00

In the beginning I did both. I would weigh my meat and measured anything thing else. I would also divided food up into containers. Now that I that I have more experience, I don't measure...I just eyeball it. Every once in a while I will measure my food, just to check that I am not over or under eating. I still divide up my left overs in glad ware containers that holds about a cup.

2009-10-13T17:44:50.511-07:00

How do many of you measure your food. I am seeking the easiest way. With a scale or measuring cup. And do you measure and then store for easy reddiness.
