Your favorite pre-band meal



Recommended Posts

Two favorites:

chicken Express:

(had to use Church's chicken dietary information for everything but the tenders.. Chicken express only put the meat calories on their site, but it's close enough)

7 piece chicken tenders - 230 cals per strip.. 1960 calories/ 105 carbs

Side of mashed potatoes - 90 cals/14 carbs

Side of gravy - couldn't find this out

two biscuits - one with honey and one dipped in the gravy - 500/50carbs

Large sweet tea - couldn't find this out

total: 2550 total... plus probably about 400 more... WOWWW.. I'm glad I couldn't have this any more once I moved to a new town a year ago.. It had been a year since having this meal.. who knows how big I would have gotten had I not stopped eating this.

Taco Bueno:

2 Soft taco's with meat, chz, and sourcream only - 490 / 36 carbs (for both)

1 Muchaco with sourcream - 496 calories / 49 carbs

Large strawberry soda - not sure

Sourcreams are 57 calories each, so that would be three - 171

Total: 1157 plus whatever soda was...

My fav meal pre-banding...

Start with Caesar salad with lots of homemade garlic croutons and homemade garlic dressing made with real mayo.< /p>

Entree - homemade 5 layer lasagna with full fat cottage cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, regular ground beef plus veggies

dessert - Thin slice of a seasonally approriate cheesecake

All served with full bodied Italian wines, crusty homemade rolls with garlic butter, and ending with brandy and coffee.

Ahhhhhh.............:huh2:

My favorite meals-Couldn't pick just one- Home made macaroni and cheese with Bacon, with chocolate cheesecake for desert, and a Pepsi!

2nd--7 layer Lazagna...with TONS of cheese and Garlic bread and a glass of Sangria...

Both have more calories and fat then I care to talk about

But one good thing about the band is I can get Seafood really fresh cause I am in Maine and my husband has a cousin with a Lobster Boat so I can get my Lobster at like $3.00 lb and if I chew for a little bit I can get it to stay down. So I enjoy my Haddock Protein and my Lobster...shrimp...and scallop Protein now! the only fat I injest is the butter you dip it in!

My favorite pre band was to go to a little family owned Mexican restaurant here in town---and have a Chimichanga---usually a chicken Verde....with Pappa's (potatoes with green chile & cheese) and Beans. Of course as has been said, lots of chips and salsa, and often a maragarita, or 2!

No earthly idea what the count is----the chimi being fried, is going to be outreageous on it's own!

The thing is----it is still my favorite meal!!! Well it is the first time. The second helping in leftovers is ok, by the 3 eating, I am sick of it, and throw out what is left!!!

More often than not, we now order a couple of tacos or a taco and an enchilada as a side, then we share a chimi---I eat about an inch and a half long piece of the chimi, and a taco----and I am done!!!

Still love the place though!!! Would have honestly preferred it to Easter dinner today!!

Mexican food goes down sooooo easy too!!!

Thanks for the web site link. So cool to see how awful I USED to eat, lol.

My favorite meal is from Bennigans but I couldn't find the nutritional value (or lack there of) but I'm sure it's about 20 grams of fat and at least 3000 calories.....drum roll please ........ Monte Cristo! I could eat the whole flippen sandwich. :eek: I really miss those. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
