I can admit when I first git banded I was messing up big time on eating the wrong thing. Now im trying hard and don't know what to eat. I have been doing shakes for Breakfast if I get hungry I would eat chips and salsa before lunch im just stuck and in bad need for help.

Hi I was banded in May 09 also. Get back to basics. Cut down on the shakes, eat 1 or 2 eggs for breakfast. I have one egg on toasted pepporage farm flat bread. That should certinly hold you over. 1 egg and 1 flat bread is less than 200 Calories and the flat bread has a good amount of Fiber. lunch again more protien first, than veg. I am now working out 6 days a week so I might have a protien shake in between but the ones I buy are low carb only 100 calories. also drink your Water. Just get back to basics.

Breakfast - 1 egg, 1 pepporage farm flat bread, 1 wedge laughing cow low fat cheese. 1 tbs katsup

lunch - 6 onz bison burger, broccoli salad (Stemed than no fat dressing)

snack - 1 scoup Protien powder, 2 tbs 1/2 & 1/2, 2 cups coffie, ice, blended into smoothie. 6 Almonds

dinner - 6 onz chicken breast, with a mustard honey sauce. I also tried these Tofo Noodles, which were actually fairly good.

Now I am getting a bit hungry, planned a snack of 1/2 cup Trader Joes' High Fiber Cereal.

So far today has been a good day about 1000 cal, trying to do lower carb. I have been working hard the last week or so to get my food back on track. Was not bad before just too many carbs and for me it is hard to loose when my carbs are too high.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
