This is a great idea, I'm having trouble with dieting. I'm a visual person....I need to see the plans rather then put together a meal plan for the day!! Please keep them coming!!

breakfast = one egg, two slices of avacado and 1.5 morning star sausage substitue. 1 cup

snack = 2 fish sticks =( (shouldn't have had the breaded crap.)

lunch = some homemade chicken panfried and cooked with some cream of mushroom with mushrooms and onions. 1 cup

dinner = 4 oz salmon and steamed vegetables. 1 cup

My nutritionist doesn't allow sugar or artificial sweetener. I cant have fruit and I choose not to eat bread or pasta because of the carbs. I have lost 18 lbs since surgery on jan 25th and I get my first fill on tuesday the 22nd of this month.

Ok so haven't been doing too great lately with my dieting. I do decent thru the week and then i totally fail over the weekend But today is a new day and I'm trying to start eating like I should again.

B- coffee with sugar and creamer 120 cal ( one of my weaknesses)

L- can of chicken noodle Soup with 5 ritz 200 cal ( my three yearold helped me eat it

S- 2 claussen pickles 10 cal and a Protein Shake 300 cal

D- thinking a lean cuisine 280 calories

I so need help guys- I've been looking at this board again and it's so foreign to me now! I've completly stopped eating the 'bandster way'!!!! I really need to get back in to see if my band isn't completly screwed up. I literally eat whatever I want and if it gets stuck I just go throw it up and move on. I don't even think twice about 'hmm wonder if this will get stuck' I just eat first think second. I started at almost 300 and got down to 203 at my lowest the summer before last. Then I had a baby and gained about 40. I lost it all after I had the baby and was down to 208- my baby is now 9months old and I'm 228!!! I've gained 20lbs! I'm back to work and I just eat crap all day!! I dont' know how to wrap my mind around eating like this again. I got so sick of thinking about everything that went into my mouth and counting calories. Just looking at what you have all posted is daunting to me. I'm so busy working full time and with two kids now that I think of myself last and the last thing I want to do is put a bunch of time and energy into what I'm eating. I know I need to but it is just feeling overwhelming right now.....

I basically live off of Proti food and Smart Styx Vitamin drinks. the Smart Styx give me enough B Vitamins to keep me going and awake when I feel sluggish. I get mine from Prescriptions For Wellness.

• Breakfast
  • Proti Cappuccino on ice

  [*]Snack

  • Egg on wheat toast

  [*]Late lunch

  • Proti chicken Noodle Soup

  [*]Dinner

  • Salad with chicken and Proti Soy Puffs used as croutons

  [*]Snack

  • Orange Creamsicle - Proti Vanilla shake with Orange Smart Styx Vitamin Drink Mix

WHAT ARE THESE drinks YOU ARE HAVING? AND HOW ARE YOU NOT HUNGRY?

The Protein food I eat is called Proti. I get it from prescriptionsforwellnes.com

I love them cause most everything has 15 grams of protein in them (which fills me up). They range from 50 to 100 calories per drink, soup, shake or entree.

And when I am having a sweet tooth, I have one of the Protein Bars. Which also have 15 grams of protein and between 130 and 170 calories each.

Since we need to have so much protein every day, I have just found it easier to stick with Proti food to reach that daily goal.

If you choose to start eating this food. Let me know, I can give you all kinds of tips and tricks.

I checked out the site- I will look more into it later tonight- I don't know if you saw my previous post but I've completly fallen off the "band"wagon and I'm not eating the 'bandster' way. I bet I don't get nearly the amount of protien that we need. ANd actually I'm so out if it and the ins and outs of the bad I've completly forgotten whi it is we are even suppose to make sure we get all of that protien in everyday? Is it because we 'eat less'? because i dont! I've so become a pig again! anyhow I'm just trying to get my head around getting my act together. and I will look into the site/food you told me about. it really fills you up?.....

thanks! MB
