I have brekkie, then eat about 10.30/11 then at lunch just have a coffee. Is this ok, then dinner, and maybe snack at night time.:crying:

You haven't given us enough info to tell us what you actually ate, so how we can suggest if it is "ok"? What do have for brekkie? What do you eat at 10:30? You also haven't said whether you have been banded yet?

I believe most people would tell you that you need to eat regularly, even if only small amounts. If you don't actually put food into your body (and contrary to popular belief coffee is not food) you metabolism will slow down and your weight loss will stop. Research is actually linking not eating Breakfast to obesity. Many people talk about being very successful at weight loss by eating 6 "mini meals" throughout the day. :wub:

I have been banded, this morning hot cross bun, then 2 bannanas, then flat skinny white.

may have egg or eggs boiled,then bannana or half sandwich, then flat skinny white.:biggrin:

If if works for you - and your band tolerates it - and you're losing weight - and you enjoy what you eat, then ............... why not?

Ok while I agree with Gordon a little about eating what you enjoy and what you can tolerate, I have to get on the nutritional bandwagon.

Can you add some vegetables and milk or yogurt (since you probably don't have 2 cups of milk in your coffee )? You might want to add more Protein since 1-2 eggs will only have 6-12 grams of protein and I believe most bandsters are advised to shoot for 60 grams of protein per day. I know we are told to eat, rather than drink our calories, but could you take some milk, banana and Protein powder, blend with ice and at least make a shake? If you won't add veggies and such, are you at least taking Calcium and a good Multivitamin? I didn't calculate your calories, but I am thinking you are not likely eating enough, since I don't think you are getting much more than 600 calories a day.

You haven't said whether you are hungry on your current diet, but if you up your protein intake, you will likely feel satisfied for longer.

I tend to eat 1200 to 1500 calories a day, will cut bread down, and add more protein to fill me up
