*LIST ONLY PLEASE*

my surgery date is june 10th so i am just looking for some ideas from people with successful surgery and weight loss.

if you could list everything on your diet from today...or yesterdays intake i should say. everything that hit your mouth from morning pills to bedtime.

(if you want to add pre-op and post-op meals that would be great also)

thanks ahead for the replies(lol, if i get any).

Post-Ops B-Breakfast Carnitation Milk water Snack-Sugar free Pudding w/water L-Smoothie with soup snack carnitation milk w/milk, Snack-Sugar free jello and D-Smoothie with protein and water Snack-Sugar free Popcycle and vitamin in the morning.

:biggrin2:thanks for the reply sister. its nice to know what other people are told to do or do on there own for food

yesterday: (this is 2.5 years post op by the way)

Breakfast - smoothie made with skim milk, greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, some frozen berries

couple of coffees through the morning

lunch: home made pea and ham soup

afternoon: ah, I think I had some wasabi peas, and an apple

dinner: spaghetti bolognaise, glass of white wine

later: a hot milo (milo is like activite) made with Water and a dash of skim milk

plus 2 children's chewable multi Vitamins, 2 fish oil capsules, and an iron/folate/B12 chewable.

how do you eat greek yogurt...ewww

thats a nice healthy diet. it seems like you eat a lot but obviously not to much cause your pic looks good

I do eat quite a lot compared to some bandsters AND I eat carbs too. I guess I'm 5ft 10, so that helps, but also I run for an hour five times a week and am very active in my daily life, I work in a school, I am a full time university student and I have 3 kids, I'm always flat out busy and running around. If I didnt eat enough, and I didnt have some carbs, I'd be out of steam by 11 am.

I probably eat around 1500 to 1800 most days and I lost all my weight on that sort of intake.

it sounds like you need that food..lol

i am the opposite, always on my butt. i do get exercise(walking) daily.

when did you start running in relation to your surgery?

Oh, about three months I think. I started with 3kms on the treadmill and gradually built it up over time as I trained for various fun runs - I got to about 10kms within 9 months and now I like to keep it between 7 and 10 depending on the route, with maybe one short 5km one in there per week.

However, I was banded at a BMI of 35 and was quite fit for a heavier person, obviously if you're more overweight and have been less active, take it at your own pace!

thats awesome, congrats:thumbs_up:

i can't believe anyone could use the word "fun" and "run" in the same sentance.

my new role model:biggrin2:
