Another board has a daily thread entitled, "What are you eating today?" I like this idea because it will us new exciting ideas of what everyone else is eating. Also, great accountability. Everyone is welcome to post.

I was in the hospital the last two days with my youngest son. He was having a bone graft for is bi-lateral cleft palate. So I was eating hospital food until this evening.

Breakfast: 3/4 cup of scrambled eggs and 3 sausage links

Lunch: chicken Quesadilla's with sour cream and salsa sauce. 1/2 an order.

Dinner: 3 oz of London Broil, 1/2 cup of GG Brussel Sprouts, 1/2 cup of GG Corn Nibblets

Snack: 10 almonds

Have a great evening everyone!:smile:

Cindy

Breakfast - 3 oz cottage cheese, 2 oz yogurt, .5 oz Kashi Good neighbors High Fiber Cereal

lunch - 3 oz tuna, .5 oz feta, 1 oz "Food should taste good" multicrain cracker/chips (they have flax seeds and 3 gms of fiber)

snack - 12 oz low sodium v8

dinner - 4 oz salmon, .5 cup steamed brocolli

Snack - half an apple sprinkled w/cinnamon

Plus Water, water, water, tea, water, water, glurg, glurg, glurg....

Okay, so after thinking about things for a while...I couldn't remember the last time I had a BM, It had been at least a week. So I took some exlax and OMG I though I would die...but the next day I could eat...which is really strange..I guess since I wasn't clearing stuff out I couldn't put anything into my body...so now I am doing a lot better. I am still eating a small amount of solids when I do eat though so that is good..but I'm getting in at least 800-1200 calories a day.

So I guess that is what was wrong with me..lol...glad I figured that out!

Imonmyway,

Elimination is one of the basic functions of your body. You should definately focus on getting more fiber to keep everything moving along. Your body needs to "take out the trash" in order to keep its house in order. Water and excercise both help to move that process along, too. Good luck.

Hi to all

Have put my mind a rest as i thought there was something wrong with me as i have been able to eat normal foods since my op in november, have had three fills now and have 8cc in a 14cc AP band. Also thought my weight loss was slow compared to other forums but seems to be on track with the rest of you banded in november. Great reading what foods you are all eating but some things you mention we cant get here in the UK, like Kelloggs protein water. wil have to see if i can order it over the net.

Well done to all

Best wishes

Lisa
