I have been doing pretty good on the supervised diet for lap band approval, and think maybe should I just stick with the diet and not the band. I know that having to be accountable when the doc weighs me on the supervised diet is part of that success. Then, I think about another time when I lost a great deal of weight only to gain it back and lots more. That seems to be my biggest problem, I loss and then I gain back. Did anyone else have second thoughts? I only have three more weeks until the supervised diet ends, and then I am told I should have no problem being approved for lap band. :frown:

Doddie Way to go! I know it is not easy to stay on track when eating out all the time. I have not been out to eat for over a month, because I was just banned Aug. 4th. I am hoping to take a driving trip myself soon, and would appreciate any suggestions from you on the foods you selected. Also, I am meeting friends for the first time for dinner next week.

Well I saw on TV a food specialist talking about restuarant selections and believe it or not he recommended egg and bacon as the healthiest choices.

So in the mornings we ate at Dennys and had the senior starter 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon. I ordered grained toast.

For lunch, soup and salad

For dinner stayed with the senior menu and ordered anything from Liver and onions to chicken breast with ceasar salad. I stuck with the small portions and once I felt the tightness I stopped. Had a great time and my confidence is sooooooo high now. Good luck on your first try back.

Doddie Thanks so much for sharing. I was ordering eggs fixed many ways while on the pre-op diet, because I am trying to do low carb. They also help me to get in enough good protein. I haven't tried a salad yet, since I have only been on regular food two days. I hope to have one this weekend, as I love salads.
