I will! Need suggestions lol

That's my point tho. Wed-fri was fine. So weird..

It seems today I'm tight. I haven't been like this from my fill on Tuesday until today. I've only gotten down 1/4 cup turkey sausage crumbles, water, and about 5 chicken pieces (small strips) today. Nothing else will go down. Any suggestions?

in the past 4 days i've REALLY been hitting protein, etc...and i've realized i'm still hungry. Going to go get a fill i think.

What is PB2? i don't need the fix. but just need ideas of what to eat at home and pack my lunch. lol

ok. i guess i've just gotten all the rules of good eat/bad eat jacked up over the last year. what i need is ideas on Protein. lol Something filling. today: 3 pieces turkey bacon, 1 piece turkey sausage coffee Water 3 tbsp Peanut Butter about a 5 oz salad with chicken breast slices on it water 1/4 cup soy nuts toasted. I'm hungry. I've always felt like this. its not more hunger or less. its the same. So i'm wondering if i need a tiny fill, because i'm pretty full at 7.5 as it is you know? i'm disheartened to feel like i've wasted so much time with my divorce and working nights, NOW i want to focus on myself and having trouble doing it. Or knowing the tools to do so. Tomorrow for breakfast: Syntha 6 Protein shake with 1% milk (or maybe water, not sure yet) snack: chicken breast slices lunch: maybe tuna? or ideas? Dinner: 4oz steak and maybe a small veggie Any other ideas?

you mean like you measure protein such as chicken breast 4 oz?

I was banded Jan 13, 2011. Since then, i've only lost 31 pounds. i'm pretty much maintaining, but i need to lose 50 more! I talked with the NP yesterday, and she thinks i'm eating too much as far as portions. So today, i'm starting with almost mainly protein, 1/2 cup portions. I REALLY need to push past this 200 mark. its my personal mini goal. I had hoped by this time i was at my goal, i mean its been over a year. Any ideas on what to eat in 1/2 portions? this morning i ate 3 slices turkey bacon and a sausage link. (the eggs here at work are AWFUL.) That was at 7. my 10am snack is 3 tbs peanut butter. I have tuna and chicken strips for lunch, and i figure a small salad tonight for dinner. Any ideas otherwise? i work 12 hour shifts, so today i can't exercise, but tomorrow i go to the gym and plan on doing 45 min cardio (elliptical and treadmill). Am looking for ANY insight at this point. PLEASE HELP!!

that i'm plateaued is i'm eating too much. but i'm confused, i'm hungry and i have 7.25 in my band. How can i be hungry? i go back next week to follow up. But honestly, i don't know if i can handle much more. I tend to throw up a few times a day now (if i'm eating too fast at work, or something doesn't want to go down) but honestly.....what am i doing wrong? i'm about ready to give up yet i don't want to!

well today has not been great just as far as quanity. i had a carnation instant Breakfast when i got up, then had some buffalo chicken dip with chicken pieces on the side. I did have one handful of chips with 7 layer dip (work we had a potluck for Labor Day) and about 1/4 cup greek salad, one hot dog. That's what i've had today so far. My goal is to start fresh Tuesday (when i get off at 7am) and do primarly Protein for the first week. I need ideas on what to have portable wise at work. I'm a registered nurse and work 12 hour shifts, so i need things that i can eat that are eat on the go while i'm working. Last week i did about 1/3 cup grilled chicken strips for a snack and a yogurt, that worked well. Then for dinner i had about 1/2 cup whole wheat spagetti with meat sauce and broccoli for my dinner. I don't understand what is going on, seriously.

I was banded Jan 13. I've only lost 25 pounds. i'm 5'2, and i can't seem to break thru the 200 pound mark. I'm SO pissed. What do i do? I went back to the doc, we trouble shooted. I'm going to the nutritionist this week to see if i can change my diet some. The worst thing is i haven't focused on myself the past several months because: i went thru a nasty divorce, custody issues, etc.. lost my job, stressed, found a new one making double the pay! now i'm working nights. We did decide i was probably NOT meeting my requirements caloric wise and have been stressed out to the max and in the "starvation" mode. I started excerscising differently. i was walking 3 miles a day about 2-3 times a week. now i'm taking zumba, kickboxing and a fit mix class when i can fit it in my schedule 2-3 times a week. i guess i'm looking for advice, help, anything. My band is at almost 7.4, and pretty tight. since the last fill i'm vomiting off and on due to things not going thru. I'm having to chew WAY more,. etc...so any adivce at this point would be helpful.

I was off a week. I work ER/Urgent Care 12 hour shifts and just followed modified lifting restrictions. Was totally fine.

This makes me feel good. I'll admit i'm not watching EVERYTHING i eat, but trying to make healthier choices. Today was 1/2 cup egg beaters southwest with a slice of thin ham in it for Breakfast, Water, lunch? 1/2 sandwich (chicken fajita from chilis) but no bread, just the cooked chicken and veggies and corn Soup snack 1 cheese stick snack 1/2 cup cottage cheese of course, water, tea and diet lemonade. i'm full today, i guess i feel like i should be cheating myself of everything. lol
