Frustrated this is getting to be hard for me.

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.

So what do you eat on a typical day?

[rosstheboss 21]

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.
