Hello everyone, I was banded about 5 months ago (I guess)...

anywhoo, wanted to ask what some of your sample menus were - SUNRISE TO SUNSET...bring them on me. And, give me some good little bandster recipes if you wanna. I love the eggbeater egg cups that you make in the mini muffin tins. :hungry:

Gottaluv ,

At six months I eat anything , just small amounts. I love the frozen stoffers meals. I love the oatmeal with raisin and walnuts. I love soups. I don't eat crackers or bread still.

edie

I am in your same predictament. I cant find menus anywhere. I have no idea what I am supposed to be eating. I know Im eating too much, but hello......If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

here's my menus for the last few days - if you have trouble counting calories do tv dinners like lean cuisine, etc for lunch and dinner...

b: 2 scrambled eggs with one slice cheese

L: 2 cups butternut squash Soup

D: 2 oz chicken parmigane + 1/2 c mixed veges

B: goldfish (bad choice and barfed -lol)

Brunch: 1 lean cusine ravioli

D: 1/2 hot dog + 1/2 c Beans + small salad

Snack: 2 cheese sticks

B: Protein shake (EAS myoplex lite)

Snack: 55 goldfish eaten so slowly (you can see my weakness ha)

L: south beach tv dinner

D: 2 bites of steak, 1/2 cup veges

i am always starving in the morning and love Breakfast and it goes down maybe one-two times a week. I like Protein shakes but they don't satisfy me at all and i always try to eat - most of the time, like just now, it doesn't work -

I also eat/snack on hardboiled egg whites with mustard - most of the time they go down and are low in calories. I can almost always eat salad and if I start my dinner with that, I'm usually full and can only eat 1-5 bites of dinner.

I try to keep my calories around 1200 a day which maintains my weight.

The only time I lose weight is if I pb and go on liquids for 24 hours or eat one meal a day.

Yesterday

Breakfast Weight Control Oatmeal

Lunch Salad with Turkey and Cheese FF Dressing

Dinner 1/2 Stuffed Pepper, 1/4 Cottage Cheese, 1/4 C Beets

Here's another day

B: oatmeal with 10 dried cranberries

L: can of tomato soup with 1 oz cheese melted in it

L: 4 slices of deli thin sliced ham with melted chedder cheese on top

i'm on my period week and am always really tight so i eat a lot less then i could normally.

L-few slices of deli think turkey, 3-4 triscuits, string cheese, PB or the cow cheese I can't think of the name, 2-3 pickles for my sweet tooth

S-almonds or string cheese

D-chicken of some type, some veggies

bad night time snack, popcorn or cheese and cracker packets, 100 calorie Cookies, anything that I'm in the mood for. pretzels sometimes. I don't eat all these things this is just a sample of some of my snack choices.

Oh this week I have been mixing yogurt with GoLean Cereal for linch or breackfast.

Those all sound great! I need more sample menus too! Pour it on us baby!

Yeah!!! POUR POUR POUR!!!!!!!!

check out this guy...he had some recipes

http://www.92inches.com/

protein shakes, tuna fish sandwish (1/4, wait 15 then the other 1/4), apples, soups, fish. I eat just about anything. Eggs don't go down very well for me though.

Thanks for the menus!!

I'm so restricted in the morning and until 2PM.

Breakfast-Protein shake diluted with hot Water to open up the band. Sometimes with fruit blended in so I get at least SOME fruit.

Lunch-Any kind of hearty Soup.

Dinner-Any kind of meat and vege. Then I add up my calories and havbe a snack later.....yogurt, fat free ricotta cheesecake....or if my caloires were high, one or two sugar free popsicles.

(I eat dinner early. My snack is well before bedtime so I don't risk acid reflux.
