Today has been great so far! I had a protein shake for breakfast. Ended up wearing most of it. It spattered all over my sweater, car, Ruben and the backseat!!!:omg:

I also had a Lean Cuisine with a little shredded turkey on the side. The extra protein helped a lot. Someone on one of the threads said that Lean Cuisine has high carbs and carbs make me more hungry. They said to buy the South Beach diet ones since they have more protein. I am also drinking some green tea.

I feel satisfied and happy right now. I was feeling a little overwhelmed this morning before lunch. Now, after I ate I feel a lot better.

I need to drink my water today. I didn't drink it yesterday and it made it harder. Water truely helps!

I weighed in at 185.5, so done 1/2 a pound from yesterday.

Breakfast: Protein shake 250

Lunch: Lean Cuisine, Salisbury steak and mash potatoes, 270 calories and 8 grms fat. and 1 cup hot and sour soup

Dinner: Red Robin, chicken salad and a few of my daughters fries.

I can't believe that this Friday is by band day!!! I leave Thursday evening. My daughter is off this week, so the week will go by fast. I need to go shopping and buy 2 weeks of groceries and convenience foods so I don't feel pressured to cook and won't feel guity I am not cooking.

I still need to bring in my elyptical from the garage.

I am done with day three of pre op. I am making better choices and eating much, much less than normal.

i love the South Beach wraps. there are 2 of them and about 240ish calories and lots of protein. i like the Ceasar and southwestern. i do not like them straight out of the fridge though. i usually take them out about 20 - 30 minutes and let them 'warm up' a bit. i think you can also nuke them.

good luck w/ your banding
