Sounds like you're doing great! Thanks for the advice. Tell me what types of protein you usually eat. I struggle each day w/ protein for breakfast & lunch where I am not at home. Any suggestions.

I too love to eat. I still can eat somehow. I can tell you that my attitude towards what I eat changed completely when I saw the first few pounds come off. There is a sign in my Dr.s office, that says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". 29 lbs. later, I truly believe this.

I just joined lap band talk yesterday. I had my band surgery on 4/27/08. I have lost about 29 lbs. I haven't experienced any of the problems that I heard at so many of the support group dicsussions or from people I've know who have also had the band. As a result, I feel it has been more difficult for me to loose weight as I don't feel restricted. My life is extremely busy as I have 4 children, husband, home and full time career. I do not have an opportunity at this time to attend the post surgical support group meetings in my area. Giving the busyness of my life, I am looking for somewhere I can get info. on other foods that I can eat that will accomadate my busy lifestyle but yet be convenient. If any one knows of a place on this site where I can find a list of acceptable food for lap bands that I can eat on the go, by at the convenience store, fast food restaurant (that are acceptible) or easily prepare I would love to know how to access it. Thanks for welcoming me to your group! Sheri
