Please share what a few days look like as far as what you are eating.

Anyone know any good websites with recipes and meal plans?

One of the biggest reasons I have struggled in the past (pre lap band) is poor meal planning. I do not want that to cause failure now but I am struggling to find good ideas.

Thanks for any support and direction!!

http://www.mediterraneanbook.com/the-mediterranean-diet/

My dr told me if I eat the Mediterranean diet I wouldn't ever have problems. After I heal and able to eat regular foods.

I get banded May 30.

That link is for a free download. It has lots of good recipes and also of you look up the Mediterranean diet, the mayo clinic explains why it's a great diet to follow. You get the good fats and the breads you need.

Most of us don't really have a specific diet. I eat normal foods, but I do try to refrain from eating a lot of dairy, processed flours, processed foods. I now eat more fresh fruit, fresh veggies, salmon, chicken. I don't keep chips, crackers, pizza and anything with refined sugar in it including Cookies and candy. I do allow myself 2 hershey bliss cubes for dessert at night.

One word that would sum up my food goals.....FRESH. I listened to a speech from a well touted Dr on this site. (Simpson) He preached fresh foods....and I think he's right, so many choices. I rarely eat out anymore, unless I'm traveling like this week. I like to try everything, vegetables I'd never heard of or had. Lots of fish. Very little red meat. And an adult beverage or two WITH my meal. As per another VERY prominent surgeon touted on here, his patients do better with it. Of course, in moderation. Re: Dr Obrien

One thing that I recommend is joining myfitnesspal. You can find forums on here full of banded people who use the site. You can view everyone's food diary (unless they make it private, most don't), and see what REAL banded people eat on a day to day basis. I'm a 28 year old guy, I don't do well with recipes etc. lol. I like to see actual meals that people who are banded had to eat that day! Obviously not everyone eats healthy with the band, but most on there do well. For me this helps, but everyone is different! If you do join the site I'm Ericnorth25, look me up. Good luck!!

I don't really have a specific diet so to say, I just try to make healthier choices. When I cook, I love using hungry girl recipes. :)
