Bandsters, What did you eat today???

[anon 1]

Hey Suzy what you eat is your choice.... (yes, I can't resist offering advice:o it's my motherly nature!)

It's just important (IMHO) to record your food, examine it and look for ways to improve your diet..... I know that if I get in what I need to get in then I've no room (well not anymore, since my fill yesterday!) for the crapola I lurve sooo much! Trust me, when I say that I'm no angel... my restriction left me last week and I ate loads of it!!!

Ben and Jerry's ice cream, thorntons Choccies ( chocolate covered biscuit things) Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Sausages, bacon, loads of curry (I have one every week but had only been managing around 1/3 of a portion.... last weekend I ate almost a whole serving, plus naan bread:o :guess ) and lets not forget my Chinese meal!! So as you can see, we, none of us are perfect.... I do try, because being thin is so fresh in my mind I know how much better I'm going to feel as every kg leaves my body I know that it's not coming back and that has spurred me on to keep with eating healthy choices first,... Crapola later.... thank Goodness I've had a fill and the status Quo has been resumed!

Lastly.... it's great to have you back on the forum!!!

I for one have really missed your posts!

anon I was the same before my restriction. My dietician couldn't believe I had eaten a Krispy Kreme but hey ho at least I was honest!

yesterday

B - 1xweetabix

L - went to nandos for lunch and had chicken salad (could only eat about a 1/4 but managed a couple of spoonfuls of frozen yoghurt for dessert!

D - Thai prawn curry and 1 spoonful of rice (haven't eaten rice since december so I wasn't sure how it would go down but it went down a treat!)

The only thing I need to cut down on is apple juice as I am drinking sooooooo much of it and I know it has added calories

Hey guys,

I am new on the Forum. That is to say that until now I read a lot of it but never joined in the discussion. Just found this bit on the brits. I am actually French but live in Britain so I guess that applies to me. You topic is great. I have loved reading all about people being extremely good and extremely bad too! I thought I was the only one feeling this yo-yo sensation! I am goind through a "good" patch this week. Have to as I went through the worst patch ever last week and put on 5 pounds!!!! I was disgusted. until now my weight has only ever varied by a pound at most. So my 5st loss is history. I had been plateauing for almost 6 months! Losing courage to be honest. I have tried all the different diets you can imagine and seem to be getting nowhere! I do not feel that restricted at all. The last fill, the surgeon told me that I was almost full (sorry cannot remember the numbers, will pay more attention next time) so getting a bit scared. Yet i felt no different at all after the fill. He has now agreed that he will fill me in July (my next appointment) if I have not lost anything by then. I am trying really hard but I get bored easily with food and actually I like food too much to be on a permanent diet. Anybody out there got any tips for me. this would be much appreciated as I feel I could do with all the support I can!

Carol your food sounds really lovely.... (I'm such a food addict... I love cooking, baking, cake decorating, and I really love the food porn on TV AkA UKTV Food!)

Today my food is as follows

B;100g cottage cheese 50g pineapple

L; poached salmon with mixed salad

S: Cambridge bar (for the fibre more than anything else tbh!)

D; Spicy pork chop 100g jersey royal potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli

I've not eaten dinner yet. I'll let you know how I go on with the chop after my fill yesterday!

Brandychick... come on record your food! It's good for the soul!

[Cookiesncream 0]

yesterday

B - 1xweetabix

L - Pasta with salmon, spinach and roasted veg

D - 3 fish fingers (hated them before the op but now love em!!), 2 new potatoes and baked Beans

S - a handful of revels

Have decided I am not going to have anymore chocolate until after I am a bridesmaid in July!

[anon 1]

LOL!! No more chocolate!! I think that a little of what you fancy does you good... a handful is hardly going to break the diet!

What is important is that you get all the good foods your body needs.... then treats if there's room!

Well

Yesterday I had:

Breakfast: bean Soup

Lunch: tuna wrap, half a packet of low fat crisp, a low fat yogurt bar

Tea: turkey breast, 7 new potatoes

Snacks: 3 cups of green tea and chicken samosa and one haribo (so glad I stopped at one for once!)

I tell you what, writing it down puts it in perspective! It looks like I eat far too much. Maybe a bit of Portion Control might be in order.

I am one of the lucky ones who does not like chocolate! So no problem for me on that front! It's the chips I have to be careful with!!!!!! :omg:

[Cookiesncream 0]

anon - you haven't seen my handfuls hehehe

So far today I have been a bit better as in no Snacks. A guy from work has just bought me a banoffi pie - what is he doing to me?!!!!!!!!! I have been strong and given it away to another hungry belly

[Brandychick 0]

Today I had:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled egg

Lunch: mixed salad with turkey breast and salad cream

Tea: 2 fishcakes and Pasta

Snacks: NONE! I have been so good. just 2 cups of green tea to see me through the day!:clap2:

Very good day indeed for me but will it last? Probably not cause I am going to an FA CUP final party tomorrow and will drink loads of Brandy! Never mind, back to seriousness Sunday!

[anon 1]

Well today my restriction seems to have come out of nowhere!

B; 1/2 Protein shot (21g protein 90 cals)

S; 1/2 apple... started off as a whole one... abandoned!

L; 1/2 chicken pannini ( took 1/2 home for son to eat!)

S; 1/2 protein & shot 1/2 apple

D; Well I know that I ought to have something... but I just feel so 'full'

Might try baked sweet potato and beans.... Not that I fancy it much....

Total calories are about 750 with dinner if I can manage it!

[Brandychick 0]

Anon I can only dream of a restriction that good. Roll on July and see if that makes any difference!

Well done you, I hope for you that it lasts for a few pounds off!

[anon 1]

Well in the end I had a Baked sweet potato with a bit of tuna and sweetcorn and 4 cherry tomatoes.... you wouldn't believe how stuffed I was!

Today is 'junk day'

But all I've managed is

1 cambridge shake

1 rye cracker

150g cottage cheese small pb, must remember to chew chew chew :-(

about 4 cups of coffee.... really unusual for me as I don't have much in the way of coffee, but have had a friend round and she drinks it like it's going out of fashion!

Tonight is curry night! Dunno how I'm going to get on with that!

[libertysuzanne 1]

Hope you had a great curry night H x

OK time to input again. Now in my defence I have been having the worse TOM ever! More in the fact feeling totally wiped out, can't wait till it goes completely ho hum.

B: Porridge and raisins

S: Orange

L: Beef and vegetable Soup

S: Exoctic Solero

D: 2 bags of spicy nik naks and a topic bar

I know fairly crap but getting better and I am still wearing 18 jeans! I haven't stood on teh scale for a couple of weeks, shall stand on them this Friday with my PT. We both decided it would be better for morale if I cut down teh amount of time I stand on scales. As soon as I know I shall let you all know. If I haven't lost weight it would be quite perplexing!

[Brandychick 0]

LubertySuzanne, weighing once in a while sounds like a very good idea. Unfortunately, I am a very weak person and tend to weight myself most day. Whilst it can be depressing some days, I think it keeps my finger on the buzzer and keeps me going. If I weigh myseof and it is crap, I might feel depressed but I am so much more careful for the day!

Anyway, today I have been goodish:

Late Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs with a slice of bread

Lunch/Tea: mixed salad with 5 boiled new potatoes.

That should be it for the day. I may have a cup of green tea later if I feel peckish.

PS: How but to have a curry.... I wish I could but it doesn't agree with me much since the op!
