Josie- your height and weight are exactly mine right now- we are body doubles!

I'm getting banded on March 3-- I'm hoping- no I'm PLANNING to be where you are in a year! Great job!

Did you have trouble with hunger and/or cheating after being banded? I'm cautious about being too hopeful that the band will actually help where other diets have failed me.

Any words of wisdom for me?

thanks for posting your stats- they help folks like me!

I must eat and if I see another Protein shake I will throw up.

My typical day:

1

I must eat and if I see another Protein shake I will throw up.

My typical day:

Breakfast: 1 6 oz. glass skim milk, 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Snack - 4 almonds or a bag of 100 cal. Cookies or Protein Bar

lunch - small salad with fat free dressing, turkey (not processed lunchmeat to much salt) or hard boiled egg

dinner - Baked fish, and small vegs or salad.

NO bread, no Pasta, no potatoes (except sweet potatoes)

snack - sugar free Desserts, or low fat ricotta cheese with almond extract or another flavoring, delicious!

Approx. 800 cal per day, sometimes a little more. I'm losing 1-2 lbs. per week and happy. I do NOT eat Soup, my doctor says it goes right threw you, emptying the pouch and your hungrey to soon.

Good luck
