What is the pumkin banana muffin? That sounds really good. I have never posted on this website but I read your food diary daily.

Lol, probably best not to copy yesterday's menu! Mainly champagne and wine, with a bit of Christmas dinner in the middle somewhere. But I did go for a run in the morning.

Today we had breakfast outside (its summer here) - fresh apricots, cherries and mango, some yogurt. lunch was salmon sashimi.

I think I'm going to make another barbecued peach and ham salad for dinner.< /p>

Jachut- what all do you put on the salad? Just peaches and ham and ?? I am still preband (2 more weeks!) but I love grilled fruits like pineapples...yummy!

Today is wednesday but on monday evening I had my 4th fill (of 1 ml) and now have 7ml in my band. I feel like a stuffed turkey all the time! It kept me awake the first night actually. Tuesday I had:

a sip of coffee at 10am

half a cup of thin Tomato Soup at 3pm (as couldn't get it down any earlier)

a 100ml pro biotic yog.

half an egg scrambled and half a cracker with 2 tsp baked Beans

I managed a pint of warm blackcurrant squash/juice before bed as Water is difficult for me to drink quickly.

Do you think my band is now too tight?

I've gotten into the somewhat bad habit of having a Skinny Caramel Latte from Starbucks every morning during the week (when I'm at work). It's either a Grande or a Venti. I've found that the espresso in these bad boys keeps me flying (hunger-free) for several hours. I typically don't get hungry for 4 or 5 hours, at which point it's time for lunch.

My question is, is this an acceptable substitute for breakfast? Or am I still technically skipping a meal, thus hindering weight loss? I'm only 2mos post-op and am pretty much stalled at 15lbs since surgery - which is frustrating in itself. I go for my 2nd fill on Friday.

I just want to know if having a low calorie Starbucks drink for "breakfast" is a bad thing. I know that breakfast is technically the most important meal of the day, and if I'm not eating real food, I feel like I might be starving my body and thus doing more harm than good.

Thanks in advance!

no idea.

forcing myself to "eat" breakfast each day was one of the harder problems i had in adjusting to band life. i had a venti/non fat/double shot/latte for yrs for breakfast and in that time i went from 130lbs to 200lbs. not having a meal till 1pm did nothing for my metabolism. i wake up hungry most mornings and want to eat - this is a FIRST for me. talk with your dr at the next fill and see what he/she says.
