Hi,

breakfast - cup of coffee & a choc protein shake

lunch - 1/4 cup tomato soup

dinner - 1/4 cup tomato soup

snack - sugar free popsicle

Hi,

I don't know, really, other than that everything I did consume was very spaced out throughout the day. So I think I pretty much took about an hour to drink every item on my list, except the protein shot, which is in one of those little vial thingees, and all "meals" were hours apart. Even with all of that "food", I went to bed VERY hungry.

I've been keeping a food journal through the lapband.com site, and I have to say it's been an amazing tool. It breaks down the %'s of what I've had into Protein, carbs, fat so I can easily see at a glance where most of my calories are coming from. I was also able to look at it about 1:30pm today and realize I was *way* behind on what I needed to be eating/drinking. That definitely helped me make more protein-oriented choices for the rest of the day.

I really think that keeping a food diary will be a key for me. I tend to forget to eat, and that can definitely lead to trouble!

This is what I ate Yesterday: I am 2 weeks post opp.

Breakfast - 2 tart size egg quiche - 2 oz (I made a bunch up and keep them fridgerated)

lunch - 1 oz of baked Beans - 1 oz of canned ham sauted up.

dinner - 1/4 cup of stroganoff mushed and green beans (made with canned turkey)

Had my 64 oz of Water with 8 oz of this water with crystal light rasberry ice flavor.

I have some small plates and silverware and so I sit down and eat with my family every meal and present the food to me as a meal and then eat slow and put my fork down in between each bit. this makes it easier for me. And I make sure I keep my water or drink in another area thent he table so I am not tempted to drink it while I am eating. (still adjusting to this).

karianne, i did something similar! i bought some toddler size plates and bowls, so that i can get accustomed to the smaller serving sizes. it's been hard to make that transition, but i'm hoping by starting before the surgery, i can be more prepared when the time comes to do it for real! Not drinking with meals is going to be super tough, too. I've started drinking my water at work from a shot glass. I just hope no one thinks I'm drinking on the job! :eek:
