Newly banded and still on the mushy diet, still healing. I have lost between 16 & 18 lbs., depending on the day. I try not to weigh in but can't seem to help it. I'm more concerned about healing correctly now however for sure.

Anyway, I would like to hear some samples of what you eat, preferably during restriction, in a day, Breakfast, lunch & dinner with amounts, etc. It will be awhile before I am able to get a fill, but would like to start gauging a little bit. Thanks!!

my diet, especially during the work week, is pretty monotonous.

breakfast - plain, ff greek yogurt (6 oz) with .33 scoop of Protein powder - 145 calories, 28-29 protein

snack - Protein shake - 160 calories, 30 protein

lunch - 1 hard boiled egg, 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese, 2-3 oz veggie (either cooked spinach, raw carrots, raw celery, or raw cauliflower) - approx 125-150 calories, 14 protein

snack - 1/2 scoop protein shake, 1 serving PB2 - 105 calories, 18 protein

dinner - large salad with 3 oz romaine lettuce, 2 oz pepper, 2 oz broccoli, 2 oz cauliflower, 2 oz mushrooms, 1 oz carrots, 1 oz celery, some protein - either edamame, tofu, bun-less veggie burger, tuna, or salmon, and a small piece or part of a piece of fruit - 1/2 apple, whole plum, etc, and some days 1 bran crispbread - approximately 200-250 calories, 7-15 protein

overall, i normally eat between 780-900 calories with between 85-110 g. protein (including the calories from my Vitamins and calcium)
