Just wondering what you bandsters eat in a day, I am scheduled for November 30th and I am making a list of foods for each meal of the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Snacks...

Thanks!!!

Hey there!

I'm about 19 days out and I'm back to solids.

for example yesterday:

Breakfast : a cup of black hazelnut coffee, whole wheat french toast (half slice) made with egg white and skim milk, and 4 apple slices

Lunch:Chorizo sausage sliced thinly about half the sauge and one egg white w/ peppers

Dinner: Korean beef Stew w/veggies

Snack: 1 hard boiled egg

I try to get at least 6 glasses of Water a day the 8 can be difficult

Total calories: 1138

39lbs down 134 more to go!!!

Everyone is diff. I 've heard stories of things getting stuck in the band. However I havent had probs with anything getting stuck as of yet.

I live in Korea at the moment so my options are limited but I use the lapband app for Ipad, it has a lot of great recipes as well as the AllRecipes.com app. I also use www.myfitnesspal.com to keep track of my calorie intake.

I wish you the best of luck!!!

As to what I eat , yesterday

Breakfast - small bowl of muesli

lunch - tuna, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and a bit of mayo on thin wholegrain bread

afternoon - a cappucino

dinner - steak, salad, a glass of wine and a few pieces of chocolate after dinner

Im super grossed out by pureed foods. will I be able to just do protein shakes instead?

Just banded 9/22 and i have yet to enter bandster hell. Yeah me!!

Here's today:

Bfast - Protein shake mixed with Water

Snack-1/4 c plain ff greek yogurt with splenda

Lunch-1/4 c homemade chicken salad with light mayo,sf relish and 1/2 hard boiled egg white

dinner will be-3 oz baked cod with 1/4 c brocolli

Yesterday:

Bfast - Protein Shake made with ff milk

lunch - same as today plus a few bites of tomato. Silly me thought i could eat a small roma tomato. Nope too full

Snack- stole 2 crackers meat amd cheese from my ds lunchabale

Dinner - 3 oz tilapia with 1/4 c green Beans

J

breakfast - coffee. i use regular fat half & half, only 1 carb for 2tbsp

lunch 12-1pm - 3 slices tavern ham (i love this stuff) + 1-2 slice provolone cheese, maybe a few slices of pepperoni. other things i might have: tuna with regular mayo and onion and tiny tiny bit of relish (relish is very high carb); cheese stick + Protein shake; crockpot enchilada chicken leftovers (i make a huge pot and freeze it, then pull out as i want it.)

(coffee, again) this is my bridge when i want to munch but am not hungry.

dinner 430-5pm - 1 small ck breast or pork chop grilled, 1/2 cup veggies (usually broccoli or fresh green beans) <this is my go to dinner, never get tired of it. other things i might eat: zucchini crust pizza, low carb quesadilla, Tyson frozen grilled chicken chunks w/ salsa, hamburger/tofu burger patty, sauteed chicken breast w/ franks hot wing sauce (tastes JUST like hot wings, waaaay less fat and easier to eat).

if im hungry or don't eat much in the day i drink an Atkins protein shake before bed., and i also drink 60+ oz of Water a day.

I've found my metabolism needs a reset. About every 1.5 weeks, i eat carbs for a day. nothing crazy, but maybe chicken nuggets for dinner, or a small carb side with lunch and dinner. Then of course i'm back on point the next day )

Well I usually don't eat much...I'm not very hungry. And my constant thoughts of food have diminished considerabley (I hope they go away completely). This is a summary of what I have been eating and I have been losing about 3 pounds per week.

Breakfast: 1 poached egg on toast or yogurt

Snack: 1/2 banana

Lunch: Mandarin orange and the rest of the banana

Snack: 1/4 cup of nuts (only if I am really hungry)

Dinner: 4 ounces of meat, 1/2 cup vegetable, 1/2 cup rice or potato (I rarely can eat all this, but I give it a try)

Snack: 1 sugar free fudsicle or creamsicle

Drinks: Water through the day (I don't like coffee or tea), sometimes a sugar free hot chocolate in the evening.

Hope this helps.

I never ate pureed foods. They are gross. I just did protein shakes, mashed potatos, sugar free jello, or pudding, low fat cottage cheese, or whatever else I could mash up
