I'm not banded yet but I am TRYING to eat like a bandster and I am still eating really healthy for the rest of this 6 month diet. I will be banded in November.

I want to lose weight before too you know. :thumbup:

Today

B - 30g chocolate honey bunches of oats with 1/2 cup 1% milk

L - 10 Lean Gourmet Buffalo Chicken Bites

S - 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese

D - Grilled Chicken BLT salad

Also I am supposed to have between 1200-1600 calories so I have to eat more than some of the bandsters. That will change in November though. :wub:

well bozzj - you've thrown out some good recips lately & that buffalo sloppy joe is calling my name, cause i just LOVE blue cheese..Yum, Yum.

i love this thread cause i get a good idea of what others are eating & it helps me change things up.

aw thanks. it was very good too (thank you rachael ray) lol...you know i bet using blue cheese salad dressing would be just as good (and cheaper).

i'm obsessed with reading this thread!! i'm sure i'll get fired one day for being on this site too much lol

Did good till this evening :cool2: ... Came home after being gone for about 4 hours and the inside of my house smelled like gas :thumbup: ... I think one of the kiddos was messing with the oven knobs before we left this afternoon because one of the burners was turned on (slightly) sooo hubby insisted it wasn't safe to cook or even use the microwave and we went out to eat instead. This after spending the morning making parmesan meatballs and smellin' em cook in the crock pot all day. Didn't get to enjoy them for dinner but I did snag a few for lunch! :thumbup:

Breakfast ~ Atkins Cafe Caramel Shake

Lunch ~ 3.17oz Parmesan Meatballs

Dinner ~ 1 Ground Beef Taco, A Side Of Beans & A Chocolate Chip Cookie from Carls Jr/Green Burrito

b1: starbucks grande iced chai tea latte with skim :eek:b2: lol quaker cin. & spice oatmeal (eating now)

l: not going to be a good day!! co-workers are going to houlihan's to pick up potato soup (with cheese & bacon)..and of course i MUST have a little--which is a good 500 calories for a small cup :thumbup:

d: leftover slow cooker corn chowder (this was really good).

All in all i'll still stay in the 1000-1100ish range, but my selections aren't good today. I guess it's better than my craving this morning for a bacon/egg/chz sandwhich from mickey d's :thumbup::eek:

I found the recipe ~~> here <~~

The first time I made them, I let them cook in the crock pot all day (about 6-7 hours on low) and they were really soft & tender. This last time I only let them cook for 4 hours or so and they're not as soft so I definitely recommend leaving them in longer than what the recipe says :drool:
