GodsTyro 63 Posted February 24, 2013 Got the band November 1st, so far down 45 lbs and this past week I went to 8.5cc which I think is finally my green zone. Already see I can't handle pancakes that well, though I can get them down one bite has me waiting 5 minutes in between (which sucks because pancakes were my favorite Saturday breakfast/brunch food) but I have learned to replace them with Protein Powder and egg/banana pancakes- go down just fine and 22g of protein! Looking forward now I am green more continued weight loss! 6 Harrier's Woman, Jackie07, Shackwacky and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted February 24, 2013 I gave up a lot of foods I used to enjoy, but thinking about them most were not all that good for me in the first place.....plus, my portion sizes are so controlled in size from the band, I realize I need to make the most of what I do eat..... Like I was taught early on, start with the Protein foods before moving on, IF you're able which is not always the case...... If I started my meals with the mashed potatoes, I would not ever get to the important stuff..... Congratulations...Being in the Green is what it's all about....a new lifestyle! 2 Terry Poperszky and 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
