So give me some ideas of life after banding. What do you typically eat every day?

Protein heavy and very small. chicken, Beans and vegetables have been the most common ingredients in my meals since I've gotten some decent restriction with my 2nd fill.

I am six weeks post op--I've been on solid food for the last week and I usually eat the same thing most days: (I'm a vegetarian also)

cream of wheat or heritage cold Cereal for Breakfast, if I go out to breakfast--two poached eggs and a slice of toast

lunch is usually an eng. muffin with some melted cheese and sliced Tomato or cottage cheese or left overs from dinner.

dinner is a mexican style casserole, or stir fry with tofu, or something with lentils, or spaghetti with marinara, or a baked potato with steamed veggies and a salad. I eat the same as I did before but MUCH MUCH less and I don't eat a lot after dinner which is something I used to do.

I snack on yogurt, fat free pops, a Protein shake if I haven't gotten enough Protein for the day, some crackers with Peanut Butter, a string cheese, or fruit. I usually avg. about 60 grams of protein a day, about 1,200 calories. I've lost ten pounds since my surgery almost six weeks ago. When I go out I eat carefully--I've had pizza and was fine with it. I may be getting a fill tomorrow so all of the above may change. I haven't had much restriction yet. I didn't think I'd be able to eat what I used to but so far I am and I feel fine, I've never thrown up or choked on anything. But again, after a fill, all that may change. Hope this helps you.
