Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

[Bozzj 0]

Question....I have been banded for 6 months and still struggle with Portion Control. I do get stuck on occasion as well. My question is do you make yourself stop or do you feel stuffed? Sometimes I feel stuffed and other times I do not. My last 2 fills have been a struggle so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carol

Hi! i've been banded since April and i've experienced both: today i had to make myself stop (i ordered a small Soup, but could have had more). Other days it's more than enough or too much.

When i go out to eat (once a week at least) i just order whatever...and i eat until the first sign of being full. I doubt i eat more than 8oz/1cup...

My issue is snacking..i'm always..ALWAYS tempted to snack. During the day i fight like hell (excuse my language) and drink Water in its place...i do this so that every single night (almost) lol i can have a snack with my tv shows.

So i guess my answer is...if i look like i could eat more than what i'm supposed to...i stop myself. I started letting myself have "treats" like today i had the deli put croutons on my soup...so even though i wanted more (and still do lol) the taste filled my "head craving."

Good Luck!!

Hey Everyone!

After 14 months being banded and finally having found my sweet spot, this is what a typical day's meals are like for me:

Breakfast: 2 cups of coffee

1 cup of yogurt

1 piece of fruit

2-3 prunes

on those rare days when I am really hungry in the morning, I will have 1/4 cup granola mixed into my yogurt.

Mid Morning Snack: granola bar

Lunch: 1 slice very heavy bread with lots of whole grains and little flour in it. this is a very moist bread.

1 tablespoon diet margarine

2 slices deli ham or bologna

2 deli slices of cheese

1 piece of fruit

Afternoon Snack: 3 prunes

1 chocolate covered cookie or occasionally a thin slice of cake

1 cup of coffee

Dinner: deck of cards sized piece of steak or fish, chicken thigh or a good german wurst.

one cup of cooked veggies or a salad with raw veggies and croutons

Of course I drink a minimum of 2 liters of Water a day. For an extra treat and pick up, I occasionally have a small glass of juice.< /p>

Sometimes I will have a mini snack about 9 pm. I tend to stay up late due to my many evening activities besides being in the chat room! LOL! The snack may be a couple pretzel sticks, a handful of tostidos or another piece of fruit or 2-3 more prunes.

Some days I need to add a little more, others I eat less. It all depends on my activity level.

Hope this will help.
