Hi, my name is Michelle and I was band in November 2007.

When I went in weight 260 now i weigh 228. The doc told me to drink protein shake in the morning and eat snack mid morning then lunch and another snack in the after noon. I am not a snack eatter and I get sick when I drink the shake I am or was a soda drinker I exchange soda for tea with splenda. I go out to eat a lot like at Taco Bell, Sonic, Braums, Mackies, Mac Donalds, Wendy's, Chelino's and Chick flea oh also Long John's Slivers.

These are the things that I dont' eat

fried foods,fruit,pasta and breads. if you see somthig that i should be doing let me know because I am here for advice and i put it to good use.

thanks

I just don't think it's wise to cut whole food groups from your diet. The reason why they don't want us to eat them in the beginning is because some fruits and most grains are fibrous or difficult to eat. Does your surgeon really say no fruit, no grain, ever?

Also, the reason why your surgeon wants you to have a protein shake is so that you get your metabolism revving and get that jolt of muscle healthy protein. You could also eat eggs and lean meat instead if you find that more appetizing.

[i am sorry if you thought I said that my doc didn't won't me to eat fruit. I was saying what I don't eat. I try to eat lots of meat and for breakfast I have been eatting egg but it gets cold before I get done so I just throw it a way..

what is you menue for your lost of wait....

I am confused, what are you actually asking? I think you might be asking advise on how to loose a bit more is that right? First you can start by never going to another fast food place again. Taco Bell, Wendys, McDonnalds are all HORRIBLE for you. No nutrition and full of fat and high calories....try a steamed piece if fish and some fresh veggies! Chicken & brown rice..... just stay away from the fast food and you will loose just by giving that up!

It is really hard to cut out the going out to eat. When I do go out to eat. I as for meat and veggies if I go some where and it is a hamburger place I get a salad or I get a chicken sandwich and just eat the meat not the bread.. nothing fried at all..

What do I do? In the morning I have a protein bar, high fiber cereal or a glass of 1% milk. I try to start my day with protein so I don't get hungry right before lunch and eat too quickly.

For lunch I have grilled chicken and a vegetable, or pork tenderloin. There is also the stir fry option, chicken with lots of vegetable and brown rice. I might have a string cheese for a snack or a handful of unsalted almonds (like right now!) or a piece of fruit like an apple or a handful of grapes.

For dinner it's much of the same as lunch. Some form of lean protein and some form of produce. I also have a starch every other day or so, like potatoes or beans.

I understand how busy life can get, but try to stop eating out. They cook their meat with a lot of oil and salt so it will never be healthier than what you can make at home. The salad can even be dangerous territory... are you using the balsamic or non-creamy dressings? If not, try out some lower fat alternatives. Raspberry Vinaigrette is wonderful :eek:.
