Gosh I am really happy to see this thread. I was feeling bad about my day.

1 lala yogurt smoothie

1 laughing cow cheese wedge

2 Diet Snapples

1 Greek yogurt

1cup imitation crab

3 tbsp cocktail sauce

2 servings of chocolate chips :(

And OMG my little brother cooked me an awesome dinner

3/4 Pan seared chicken breast

1 cup Pasta

1 1/2 cup alfredo sauce with mushrooms and spinach

Not as bad as it could have been but my dinner servings were way too big. I was full and I knew it but I kept going back and taking more bites. Now I don't feel so great.

My day wasn't as tasty as you guys. I had 3 Protein Shakes and a couple of Crystal Lights.

I started the day with my usual Protein smoothie.< /p>

Then 1 can of Soup for lunch.

After that I did not eat anything for the rest of the day.

We were at a cookout where I had maybe 3 beers, and when I drink beer I NEVER have any food with or around it.

I did have a Protein shot in the evening to get my daily requirement.

I went to a picnic with 100 other folks and each brought a dish to pass main dish was a cheese burger. So I am in line and there is this mile long trail of food and the more I looked at it the less it appealed to me.I took a teaspoon of potato salad tbls of baked Beans , and a small spoon of snicker bar salad . AS I was walking to my seat someone said is that all you are eating?? THe dessert table was beyond huge and I never gave it more then a glance when I went back nothing jumped out at me so I passed it up.

NOw before you all hate on me .. there was a time I would have tried everything and as I sat there watching everyone elses full plates I just was so happy that I was so thrilled with the taste of that cheese burger no bun. IN the old days when my plate would have been filled to capacity I wouldn't have savored the taste of anything it would have all just blended together . And I would have spent the afternoon groaning and stuffed fat and guilty.

Let me tell you nothing on that table tasted as good , as being thin feels.

I am not a calorie counter, I eat what I know will go down and I enjoy what I like but you know in the long run it's just food... And there is so much more to life then just your next meal......

BBQ chicken, no skin, corn on the cob, and 2 Jamaican Rum Creams....

This AM... Work out and get rid of the 1.7 pounds I gained this last week! Beach trip and 4th brought out the fat girl eater inside of me..., saying good bye to her today!

Wow... some of you guys eat barely anything at all! I had a really good day and resisted all the yummy temptations at my BBQ. We had Cookies, potato salad, macaroni salad, pulled pork... so much sugar and carbs. Ack!

My Day:

B: Protein shake

L: 1/2 burger (sans bun) w/ pepperjack cheese & side strawberry spinach salad

D: leftover from BBQ... only difference was I had a full burger instead of a half

And the Cookies and chips are all sitting on my countertop mocking me right now. Evil evil. Lol.

Mind you, I have not had a fill yet, so I was more open than most.. you guys all did really great!

I had no Breakfast (I know bad... I need to break that habit!)

Lunch: a few roasted Littleneck clams

Dinner: 2 small chunks of chicken off of a skewer with a grilled piece of pepper and onion, 2tbspn of cole slaw, 2tbspn of potato salad

Dessert: one cheesecake filled fresh strawberry

and I was full! I have no restriction yet, so this is great for me. I would have been able to eat all those clams and at least one if not one and a half, skewers of food!

Oh wait, cannot forget the glass of pineapple lemonade sangria! It was good!! Water after that though

[cmoody821 44]

I'm only a week post op so I had 1/3 cup if broccoli and cheese Soup. What I would have gives for a burger patty!

I am almost done with this liquid diet pre-op anyway!!

[HolliJ 24]

It was a holiday - I ate what I wanted.

Half a pulled pork sandwich, some baked Beans, some veggie salad, couple wings, and maybe a couple others things. Definitely less than everyone else, though. But I was satisfied. Oh... and monkey bread.< /p>

And drank sangria.
