Just curious what you ate today ? Maybe those who are getting banded would also find it interesting to see examples of what we are eating to be sucessful . I will start

Banded June 5th Lost 11 Lbs

Br- Protein shake

Lunch- Applebees Broccoli cheese Soup

Snack- Peach

Dinner-Sweet Patato , tuna from a can to get protein

Protein Shake before bed

Thanks for sharing, I think it would be fun to hear what others are having at different stages to give us ideas.

Kim:)

thank you I suck at cooking but I hope to try to make these sometime soon

Yesterday I had...

B - 1/2c Total Cranberry Crunch cereal w/ skim milk

L - 1/3 c refried beans with dash of jalepeno salsa, cheddar & sour cream

D - 1/2c parmesean stuffed flounder, 1 tbs roasted new potato insides, 2 bites key lime pie

Last night was our first meal out with friends since the surgery and I felt myself falling back into the not paying attention and just eating zone. Amount wise I did okay, but I could tell I severely over ate. *sigh* Still learning I suppose?!

B: 1c Raisin Bran and 1/2c f/f milk

L: 2 pkts grits with 3/4 c f/f milk

1/2 EAS low carb protein bar

S: 1/4c walnuts

D: 1c homemade chili with turkey and beans, added 1 1/2 0z 2% cheddar cheese and 1 sliced small tomato

S: Protein shake 1 c f/f milk and 1 scoop protein

Does this sound unreasonable for someone with a 14cc band with only a 1.5cc fill. I'm trying really hard and it's tough not to fall into old habits of eating just to eat. Any tips or ideas would be helpful.

Thanks, Leah:smile2:
