What are you eating?

[YoungNy 1]

I need help with my diet. I have no idea what I'm suppose to be eating. I'm not losing any weight. I lost 8.3 pounds last month by living off of slim fast, Soups, tuna, yogurt, pudding and TV dinners. I tried to do the same this month and I gained a pound. I don't get it. I'm really starting to lose faith in my band. I have great restriction, almost too much I think. I have 8.5 cc in my 10 cc band. I go back to the doctors on the 19th and will talk to him about this then, but until then, someone please help me.

One thing I noticed right off the bat is that you are still eating a lot of mushy type foods. Things like tuna, yogurt, and Soup can easily slide through your pouch. You need to eat grilled chicken, fish, ground beef or turkey and more solid like foods. They will keep you fuller longer because they will collect in the pouch and not slide through as quickly. I can't imagine why at 8.5 cc's you are not losing. You may be eating high calorie Soups. I would suggest making sure you get a little exercise in everyday. Maybe you need an unfill to allow you to eat more solid foods without getting them stuck. Don't give up. Keep in touch with your doctor and nutritionist.

I agree about the soft foods. I can eat more if I eat soft foods or junk food. I do better by eating grilled chicken and veggies.
