Almost a month banded

Well, as of tomorrow, I will be banded a month. I was a rockstar the first couple weeks post op. I did fabulously. Then, when my husband landed back in the hospital for 5 days, I slipped off the wagon and began making poor choices as far as food. Strangely, when he landed back in the hospital is when my hunger actually returned. I was set in my ways after the surgery, without much hunger, even though I knew it would return. I am finally getting back in to the routine of things and need to start keeping track of everything on sparkpeople.com again. I also have been slacking on my protein shakes the past week and need to do that, too. I seriously can't wait for the fills to start! My worst habit is grabbing something on my way home from work. I live about 45 minutes away from home and by the time i leave work, I'm starving. I need to just stock up on protein bars so i can have a mid afternoon snack. Can anyone recommend any good snacks that have nothing to do with jello? lol

 

On the plus side, I am eating smaller bites and taking longer to chew. Therefore, I'm not eating crazy big portions And, I am starting Zumba this week. . On the minus side, I have gained 5 pounds...eeeeek!

 

Must....lose.....again.

You will get there! I have a long drive home and sometimes I'm starving before I ever leave work. I grill up a couple extra chicken tenders on Sundays and put pieces in baggies and bring them to work. I bring a baggie home with me in the car and if I get hungry I munch on some chicken for a few minutes. Its probably an ounce or so each. Deli turkey, chicken or ham slices might work too?

Best of luck to you!

I also have a long drive home, so I pack my supper and eat it at the office before I leave. Then when I get home I'm ready to play with the puppy and take a walk. I know this doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me . .. good luck!
