Recommended Posts

For what it's worth--I agree. Especially for us newer lb'ers...i always look to see what you, luluc and georgia girl are eating because it's usually good!! lol

i love being accountable on a thread where it's ok to do just that--even when i ate ceasar salad 3x last week:rolleyes:

well bozzj - you've thrown out some good recips lately & that buffalo sloppy joe is calling my name, cause i just LOVE blue cheese..Yum, Yum.

i love this thread cause i get a good idea of what others are eating & it helps me change things up.

I'm not banded yet but I am TRYING to eat like a bandster and I am still eating really healthy for the rest of this 6 month diet. I will be banded in November.

I want to lose weight before too you know. :thumbup:

Today

B - 30g chocolate honey bunches of oats with 1/2 cup 1% milk

L - 10 Lean Gourmet Buffalo chicken Bites

S - 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese

D - Grilled Chicken BLT salad

Also I am supposed to have between 1200-1600 calories so I have to eat more than some of the bandsters. That will change in November though. :wub:

aw thanks. it was very good too (thank you rachael ray) lol...you know i bet using blue cheese Salad Dressing would be just as good (and cheaper).

Did good till this evening :cool2: ... Came home after being gone for about 4 hours and the inside of my house smelled like gas :thumbup: ... I think one of the kiddos was messing with the oven knobs before we left this afternoon because one of the burners was turned on (slightly) sooo hubby insisted it wasn't safe to cook or even use the microwave and we went out to eat instead. This after spending the morning making parmesan meatballs and smellin' em cook in the crock pot all day. Didn't get to enjoy them for dinner but I did snag a few for lunch! :thumbup:

Breakfast ~ Atkins Cafe Caramel Shake

Lunch ~ 3.17oz Parmesan Meatballs

Dinner ~ 1 Ground Beef Taco, A Side Of Beans & A chocolate Chip Cookie from Carls Jr/Green Burrito

b1: starbucks grande iced chai tea latte with skim :eek:b2: lol quaker cin. & spice oatmeal (eating now)

l: not going to be a good day!! co-workers are going to houlihan's to pick up potato Soup (with cheese & bacon)..and of course i MUST have a little--which is a good 500 calories for a small cup :thumbup:

d: leftover slow cooker corn chowder (this was really good).

All in all i'll still stay in the 1000-1100ish range, but my selections aren't good today. I guess it's better than my craving this morning for a bacon/egg/chz sandwhich from mickey d's :thumbup::eek::lol:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
