So a few weeks ago I seen a YouTube video made by another Lap Band person talking about facts about her Lap Band so I decided today I was going to make a Top Ten Things about my Lap Band and Food post!
Number 10: I still do not allow my self to have any carbonated beverages. I think the last time I had a Diet Coke was around the Weekend of Oct 16th. Only water, and crystal light. Rarely do I allow myself to have even a regular lemonade due to the sugar.
Number 9: I have started branching out to eating things other than soup for breakfast. Soup, water melon, a little bit of scrambled egg. Not a huge list but trying a few new things. Sometimes some potatoes or potato salad at work but that is not always a good idea.
Number 8: Eating in a loud environment does not work well for me. When my stomach is bothering me I need it really quiet.
Number 7: It is not allowed to use my Lap Band card at Ryan's so that I can pay for a smaller portion. I nicely explained to the manager that I eat like a 1 year old and she nicely stated that to many people were printing weight loss cards off the Internet and they getting 10 plates of food. To bad a few jerks ruined it for people who honestly need some accommodations. So eating at Ryan's for dinner on Seth's birthday will probably not happen again. (I have a cute credit card sized card that asks a restaurant to allow me to have a child's portion since I have had weight loss surgery. Sort of a cool card. Also if I am ever hurt and unconscious it is stated on there that I have the Lap Band, when and by whom with their 800 number. Let me know if you ever want to see it or if I am passed out you can get it out of my wallet for the EMT) LOL
Number 6 : Just learned the other day that field greens are tolerated far better than regular lettuce so I guess I am changing my salad prep stuff.
Number 5: Everything is better with sauce of some sort. I try not to use a lot of sauce and stuff but things do go down better if they have a liquid base on them. Ketchup, gravy, cocktail sauce, tarter sauce, ect.
Number 4: Pasta.....Well if it is fresh spaghetti or lasagna I am usual okay but left overs or thicker noodles forget it!
Number 3: Breads, rolls, rice, some cakes and cookies ect usually do not do well for me. So I only take a nibble of bread products if I need to satisfy a craving.
Number 2: I have learned that I can not eat in a moving vehicle. So my days of trying to eat a little burger or fries on the way are over. I think I am more upset that I can not really tolerate Fries anymore. Actually pretty much anything fried is not a positive any more.
Number 1 thing about my Lap Band and Food.......There is no rhyme or reason to anything. What I can eat today I may not be able to eat tomorrow!
I am starting to learn more and more about my band but I learned a long time ago that the Band is the boss and I am just here to follow what it wants. I try to satisfy my craving with just a little taste of things. Some days I want something and I know that I will probably regret that decision such as I wanted KFC fried chicken the other day.....big mistake but the few bites I ate tasted great!
I hope you enjoyed today's top 10 list. They are sort of in order. I may have to do another top 10 list of something else about my Lap Band any suggestions?? Have a great day! Jane
