I was banded on 6/27 and am still learning so much about this topic. This website has been one of the BEST sources of information! It occurred to me while I'm in my last week of mushy foods that it would help to track my Protein intake along with checking fats, sugars, and calories. I created this template to help me on my new journey to make sure I eat the right amounts (and look back if I have trouble after a meal to see what exactly I ate that might have been the trouble) and so forth. Maybe some of you will enjoy using it also!

Banded 6/27/07 - VG band, Dr. Jose Erbella and Dr. Gary Bunch, Manatee Memorial Hospital, Bradenton, FL.

Hi there. I did it this same way until I found www.myfitnesspal.com. It's free and takes alot less time!

How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 Protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 protein,1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein.

Your thoughts, please?

Breakfast is either oatmeal or 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios with 1/2 cup Fat Free Milk. On the weekends I have a couple scrambled eggs along with 2 pieces of turkey bacon.

lunch is usually chicken and a salad.

dinner is usually fish, seafood or chicken with veggies or a salad.

Snacks: 15 Wheat Thins and 2 Wedges of Laughing Cow cheese or a Fudgesicle or Popsicle.

I don't normally cook. I find it's easier and cheaper to go out, but last night I found myself in the kitchen looking for something for dinner. I took a boneless chicken breast out of the freezer and sliced it thinly. I dusted it with a little flour and garlic powder and browned it in some olive oil. I added some sauteed onion and home grown yellow, orange and red peppers, a can of water chestnuts and some more garlic and simmered it in Sweet Baby Ray's teriyaki sauce/marinade with just a touch of honey and ginger. It was very good and made enough to last me for about 3 meals!

Wow some of you eat like nothing!!! Maybe that will happen on next fill.

B- 1 serving of Cream Of Wheat, 1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese 2%

Snack- Coscto Protein Shake and or Starbucks Decaf Americano

L- Cup of Tuna and Cup Cottage Cheese, Sometimes a 3 egg ommelette with a slice of American Cheese Or Egg Salad

D- Chicken Breast ( Small) with Low Cal Ranch, Salad, Lean Cusine, I just try to keep under 300 calories for dinner

If I excersise and have room I add some stufff in between

I Log as mush as possible in My fitness pal app

Ok, I need all of your help. I keep reading what everyone is writing. As far as drinks go, I don't see any but coffees and protein drinks. I am drinking juice (capri sun) and am wondering if that is why I haven't lost any weight since the first 20 pounds post surgery diet in March? I also eat chocolate. Probably like 1/2 a bar a day. BUT I work out three to four days per week. Cardio 45 minutes each time. I do a low carb, high protein diet but maybe there is too much sugar in my diet so that is why the scale won't go down. I have been the same weight since March! But I feel that with the tiny amounts I am eating, plus low carb, high protein, what the heck is the band doing? How is it helping if I am supposed to do everything I used to do to lose weight before? I feel like everyone is pretty much doing Atkins, so we did we get the bands????? Help!
