Upon reading through the many posts on this thread I have a question regarding many of the menu's. I've noticed that some of you eat such a tiny amount of food during the day. Doesn't the body go into starvation mode with so little nutrients coming in which makes losing weight harder?

no idea - but i'm not sure how an obese/overweight person can go into starvation mode .... maybe screw w/your matabolism some. my thoughts only.

i lost barely 30lbs in the first 6 months & had my calories around 800, cause everyone here did that.

my dr said no way - get yourself above 1100 and that really did the trick. while some are comfortable & lose eating 1/4c of food & take in 800 cals - didn't work for me.

Mary~ I have been feeling the same way! I think that I am eating a ton of food when I look at what others are eating! I have been trying to get in my calories and Protein and sometimes I struggle to fit it all in during a day.

Compared to everyone else I feel like I am pigging out. I know that everyone is different and I do take that into consideration, but it is amazing how different food intake is from person to person.

Okay, I am over it. (for now)

It has been a crazy week. I haven’t even turned on my computer at home until today. Need to do better because the logging helps me. I had my first plateau since being banded this month. I lost a lot very quickly last month and then gained back 3lbs that just hung there. I think I’m finally coming out of it. I lost the 3lbs when I weighed today. It also didn’t help that I retained even more Water than usual during my TOM.

Yesterday…..

B – Protein iced latte

L – 5oz cottage cheese and a couple of light Wasa crisp breads

S – Handful of cocoa nib, coconut, and raisin mix I got at Whole Foods. I wouldn’t fool myself into thinking this was healthy but it was better than a Hershey bar. Also much lower calorie, fat, and sugar. TOM and had to have something chocolate.< /span>

D – Cup or so of assorted stuff from Whole Foods salad bar.

Today…..

B – Leftover salad bar stuff, about 1 C. total

L – 2 Wasa light crisp breads with laughing cow light cheese. 1 slice of bacon

D – ½ grilled cheese sandwich, 2/3 C. split pea Soup.< /span>

S – Will probably have a protein smoothie. I didn’t get enough protein today.

yesterday:

B: mocha latta flavored muscle milk

L: 1 string cheese

D: cake batter flavored muscle milk

wow confused that doesn't seem like much for a days calorie intake, was that on purpose, or were you just not hungry?

[Padanelle 2]

B - 1 cu 1% milk w/coffee; 2 hrs later - 3/4 cu Kashi Go Lean w/Activia light

L - 10 oz Isopure Zero Carb Lemon Green Tea Protein Drink

S - 1 cu grapes

D- 1 glass sparkling wine (pre-dinner); slice of crustless quiche; 1 glass sparkling win (post dinner)

B: 2 hard boiled eggs

L: 4 saltine crackers with brie cheese and ham (3 slices total)

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers for my FIL. He is recovering well and doing much better.

I've been out of town since Thursday, so I'm not going to bother logging all the delicious food I ate, lol. I went to the Women of Faith conference in Atlanta and had a blast. Mandisa, from American Idol, was there and let me tell you, she was the highlight of the convention!! Love her! I wish I had her energy, lol.

Also, I haven't had a cluster headache in about 14 days, so I am praying that my cycle is over, at least for this year. I am going to attempt to start exercising again tomorrow, and pray it doesn't trigger a headache. Ya'll wish me luck!

I here you, logging helps me too. I was teetering between weights too and I'm glad to be coming out of it.

Since I've been logging everything, I thought I was the only one that was pigging out. I look at others and feel that I'm eating way to much. But I'm losing so I'm sticking with it!

ha - it's really easy, while i'm bad at measuring i do use equal parts of meat: ground beef/ground pork/goat cheese/dried tyme/sun dried tomatos/1 egg/bread crumbs/s&p. i make mini loafs (freeze the rest individually).
