Chicken can be the problem, make sure it is moist and I cut mine up and then chew very well. I was told also to eat dark meat chicken since it is also moister than white. Great job on the weight loss you are doing great

But now I've gotten stuck on salad, eggs, and chicken!! I'm beginning to think I can't eat anything! LOL!

When did you get banded?? Did you reach your green zone on the 11th??

I'm so ready to start losing and get out of bandster hell!

I was banded on November 21st. I started my pre op diet on November 11th and lost 14 pounds before surgery. I've been losing pretty consistently since. I've had one fill because I wasn't feeling restriction. The reason I've been losing pretty consistently is that I've been watching what I eat, counting calories etc. Every person is different though. I would like to say that I am in the green zone because I have felt restriction, although not all the time. It's hard to tell. Good luck on your journey! You will get there!

my dr said the same thing, eat the dark meat part of the chicken. its not as hard to get down. Congratulations on your success! I was banded on 12/7 and I am down 28 trying very hard to reach my goal of 40 by Feb 7. Got boat season coming up in May and I with an avg of 20 per mth, I will be able to get a nice swimsuit. Good Luck and keep up the great work!

A typical day for me would be as follows:

Breakfast: SF Carnation Instant Breakfast (150 Cal)

Lunch: It depends. Sometimes I'll have leftovers from the night before or I'll have a lean pocket. Whatever I have, it's under 300 calories.

Dinner: I go out a lot and usually try to stick to chicken items. I usually only eat half and will have the leftovers for lunch the next day. I search the menu for the healthiest, protein heavy food I can find.

I stay away from pasta at all costs and I only drink zero calorie drinks or my V8 Light which only has 50 calories per serving. If I have bread, it's whole wheat but I try to limit that as well. If I have a snack, it's 100 calories or less but I try not to snack in between meals. I NEVER eat a whole meal when I'm out. Oh and another thing I eat a lot is eggs. I love eggs and for the most part, they sit well with me. I use myfitnesspal all the time too. It helps keep me accountable for everything I eat. I just suggest watching your serving and portion sizes, and stay away from sweets and count your calories. That's been the key for me. I have cut out all sweets and to be honest, I don't even crave them anymore. Good luck! If you need anything, let me know! Feel free to message me!
