Success Diet for Bandsters!!

[Dianechef 3]

If you try it, let us know how it works!! I definately think it is hard to gain weight with the band & if this diet gets the weight off - then maybe we got it home free. I can hardly eat any meat without PBing. I'd like to know just exatly what you DO eat on this diet.

Anyone out there actually tried this? Share your food list! :confused:

i am on day 2 of the low-carb plan. i'm not doing the appetite suppressants but from my experience doing the low-carb thing in the past, the lack of sugar keeps me from being very hungry.

yesterday, breakfast:

- coffee with half and half and 1 equal

- a boiled egg

lunch:

- 3oz pork chop

dinner:

- 1/3 head lettuce w/ bacon bits, chives and bleu cheese

i'm not doing the totally radical stance of NO veggies, but i think i'm going to try to stick to lettuces b/c they're mostly Water. i'll keep you guys updated.

I went to Dr. Fox's seminar once back before banding was done in the states. (seminar for bypass). He does like "his" girls skinny.

One of the things that his office would make you sign is an agreement that once you made goal that you would go to an image consultant to help you pick out a new look for yourself -- hairstyle, makeup, wardrobe, etc. I actually think that's a great idea and I will probably do it, even though I didn't get my surgery through his office. [eta: I don't know if he still does this]

<< snipped; I probably shouldn't state my opinion of Dr. Fox here >>

Niche - how's the low carb diet going? I saw that you ate pork chop. Are you able to get that down okay? I'm very curious to see if this really is sucessful.
