Got the band November 1st, so far down 45 lbs and this past week I went to 8.5cc which I think is finally my green zone.

Already see I can't handle pancakes that well, though I can get them down one bite has me waiting 5 minutes in between (which sucks because pancakes were my favorite Saturday breakfast/brunch food) but I have learned to replace them with Protein powder and egg/banana pancakes- go down just fine and 22g of protein!

Looking forward now I am green more continued weight loss!

I gave up a lot of foods I used to enjoy, but thinking about them most were not all that good for me in the first place.....plus, my portion sizes are so controlled in size from the band, I realize I need to make the most of what I do eat.....

Like I was taught early on, start with the Protein foods before moving on, IF you're able which is not always the case......

If I started my meals with the mashed potatoes, I would not ever get to the important stuff.....

Congratulations...Being in the Green is what it's all about....a new lifestyle!
