You'll do great, it's a lot easier than it looks. Once you get the hang of it it's like second nature.

I'm on the same cycle as you. Today is my low carb day.

don't be nervous! we're all in this together, and ask any questions you have. I am actually starting the hang of this (I hope!) and finding it easier and easier.

Keep us updated on your progress!

I'm on low carbs today, too.

In fact, for dinner tonight I had the chicken breast cream cheese spinach roll ups that PattyGirl posted on this thread a couple pages back. It was soooo good!

I really need to get into recipes for this...those roll ups sound good. Any other quick, easy recipes that I can make several at a time Andre make for the next day or later in the week?

I kinda suck at low carb days- I tend to eat the same things over and over. Lots of salad with meat and cheese in them, lots of various lunch meats with cream cheese concoctions wrapped in them, and lots of chicken and tuna salad wrapped in a piece of lettuce or cheese.

Those are the only "quick" stuff I eat on low carb days. Everything else requires cooking, like pork chops or a baked chicken breast.

I find it hard to get more than 600 cals in on low carb days. Today is the beginning of week 2. I'll do better this week than last. ><

I don't know if you have seen it, but they have sugar free peaches, pears, and fruit cocktail now, which become low carb since the sugar is splenda. Peaches and FF cottage cheese is really good, high Protein and low carb.

Those are good starts Missy! For me I have my meats weighed and individually portioned. I love spinach so I'm thinking that could be one meal on low carb day. Then I have pea male bacon and those thin Bagels that could toast up for Breakfast with slice of Tomato. Should work for both low carb no carb days....probably only be able to eat half of that sandwich. Or oatmeal and cottage cheese with cinnamon and sugar free Syrup for breakfasts...

destynee, I'm a little worried about you starting this so soon, you were only banded on Oct 22, it's a time for healing, not losing weight. Have you talked with your surgeon about this? Would be interested in his input.

I'm going for my 6wk follow up tomorrow and hopefully my first fill.

Best wishes!

Thanks maddy, I've also thought about that too, I haven't spoken to him about it, I do have my first fill on the 28th, which is when I planned to discuss it with him. Also making an appt tomorrow with a nutritionist. My surgeons office have never really sat down with me and discussed anything about eatings, how many calories I should have etc.. so this weds I plan to ask a bunch of questions. I should have way before, I'm just kinda shyish in a way >< so I tend to not know what to ask or being self conscious asking questions. I am getting over this! Thanks for your concern Maddy.. I'll definitely talk to them about this and let ya know what I am told!
