I add Benifiber to my soups or food...I have a hard time with veggies...due to NO ROOM at the inn (lol...new banded stomach)

BUT...if I eat veggies...then no room for protein

Why every 2 hours....you were banded at NYU? Mine was done up here but our nutritionist stinks..so any ideas would help?

yesterday I had:

B: protein shake with peanut butter and ice, 300 cals

L: spaghetti squash with homemade meat sauce, 300 cals

S: tilapia fillet, 80 cals, few tortilla chips, 70 cals

D: slice ultra-thin crust homemade pizza, 150 cals, got stuck

S: two christmas cookies, 400 cals :eek:

Total 1220 cals for the day

Today so far:

B: protein shake with peanut butter and ice, 300 cals

L: spaghetti squash with homemade meat sauce, 300 cals

S: slice of ham wrapped around string cheese, 140 cals

For dinner I made an awesome chicken dish with chicken breasts, fontina cheese and shrooms (not low cal or low fat...). Nutrition facts say 500 cals per breast, I'll probably manage a half-serving...

with some fresh asparagus and salad...guessing about 500 cals for the meal.

Approximate total 1240 cals for the day.
