BTTRFLI--you have the right idea...don't deprive yourself--just eat less of the bad stuff and really try to make wise decisions BEFORE you choose the fatty stuff.

Today: got a fill (liquids)

s-vanilla shake

l-large sweet tea

d-tomato parmesian bisque

s--double protein shake (later tonight)

I am looking for a Protein Powder that is low carb, low sugar. I notice that you had a protein shake for breakfast. Does it taste good? And how are the carbs and sugar in it?

I am in desperate need of more protein!!!!

Julieh - Don't have any ideas for protein powder but found some AWESOME meatballs that have 11g for every three!!! They are Aidells chicken meatballs, teriyaki & pineapple. They're precooked and take 1 minute in the microwave. So they make a fast, protein packed snack.

Hope this helps!

Where would I go to find these meatballs?

I got them at Publix in the hot dog/sausage section. They also have chicken sausages that are supposed to be good too but I haven't tired them since I can't eat that much at one time. Good luck!

I enjoy a cup of spinach sauteed w/ 1 scrambled egg over it,, I add 1 tbsp of bacon bits and f/f cheese.. It's very satisfiyng and heathy to boot,, lots of protein, low carb, and spinach is soo healthy..

B: 2 egg omelet with ff cheese and slice of lowfat ham (1 egg and 1 egg white)

L: 1 cup lowfat chicken salad w/celery sticks

S: 1 cup watermelon

D: 4 oz. chicken breast and 1 cup of potatoes and green beans (how can I eat so much at one sitting?????)

S: 1 sugarfree chocolate pudding snack

I see some of you eating only 1/4 cup of this or that. Are you really full with this or are you being really good about dieting, because I don't seem to get full easy.

I called to get another fill next wednesday.:thumbup:

Today

B- 2 oz cottage cheese & 1 oz low fat yogurt, 3 bites of a HB patty

S- handful mixed nuts and some cheese puffs:frown:

L- Smart One Beef Pot Roast w/veggies, 4 wheat crackers

D-3 oz boneless BBQ ribs

started with a protein shake and cream of wheat, watermelon for a snack, mashed patatoes and pureed squash for lunch, watermelon for snack, and refried beans with ff cheese for dinner. I was wondering if any one else out there was eating watermelon and cantaloupe at the pureed stage of the band. Got my Band on July 31. HOpe I am not messing up by having melons without purraing ? them. Can anyone tell me?
