My first blog.....

You should be able to eat whatever you want without having any fills. I could eat plenty until my 3rd fill. I ate whatever I liked. Just have smaller portions.

i found a pudding sugar free 60 calories jello i think is the brand. I have not had a fill yet and had surgery on 11-18-2010 and have lost 71 lbs.

I normally eat chicken or fish, some kind of veggie and a half a cup of Uncle Ben's whole grain brown rice (they microwave in 90 seconds and come in a variety of flavors). I cannot do pastas anymore, or bread. Congrats on the loss!

I was banded 2/3/11 and last couple weeks usually have two protein (30 grams each) drinks a day; one for breakfast and one in the afternoon. For lunch I usually have 1/2 cup refried beans or non/lowfat cottage cheese and have chicken or fish for dinner with maybe a few steamed green beans. Tonight I had about a cup of chili with beans. Sometimes I have a mini babybel light cheese if I'm still hungry at lunch. 64 ounces of liquid total a day too, 1/2 hour before or 1 hour after eating. On the weekends when I have more time I have scrambled eggs with a little cheese and salsa for breakfast. I am supposed to get my first fill next week. But even now before any fill, if I overeat I hurt. Good Luck and keep up the great work!
