I've only been banded for like 13 days today and have lost 13 lbs (no pre-op diet), yesterday I had a pretty chaotic day and ate solids for the first time (with my doctors permission). Every meal was eaten at a restaurant.

I need some guidance as my apetite is back to normal and swelling has gone down so without a fill I am basically just dieting but I have no clue if these portions/choices are ok. Thank you so much if any of you who have been banded longer could give me your opinion. This is what I ate yesterday (out all day):

Bfast - 2 eggs (just one yolk) with some salsa and melted cheese

lunch - 5 oz. grilled white fish filet, 1/4 cup grilled asparagus, 1 grilled slice Tomato

dinner - 2 oz. grilled hamburger meat

snack - 2 string cheese, 1 cup Jello

drinks - Tea, 1/2 cup OJ, water...no sugar in any of these

Totaled out to about 1,090 calories.

Is that way too much?

Today:

Bfast - Protein Shake w/ 1/2 cup fat free lactose free milk

mid-morning snack - string cheese, 5 cashew nuts (raw), 1 cup jello

Lunch (comida) - 1/4 chicken broth w/chicken, zucchini and carrots, Protein shake 1/2 cup milk

Afternoon snack - String cheese, 5 cashew nuts, 1 cup jello, 1 tbl spoon Peanut Butter

Dinner - Protein shake w/ 1/2 cup fat free lactose free milk

950 or so calories, tons of protein.

Tomorrow is the first day I am back at the gym (I enjoy working out) so I will probably be adding some fruit and solid protein at lunch right after my workout (45 min. low intensity cardio per doctors orders) and a Protein Bar before.

Is an entire can (small) of tuna an ok choice for lunch?

Any opinions? Thank you so much.

I'm a baby bandster still.

how did you make pumpkin Protein Shake GEORGIAGIRL? sounds good

Clean Eating Pumpkin Smoothie

(Makes 1 serving)

Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup pumpkin (I used canned and organic)

1 tbsp. agave

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (no sugar added)

2 tbsp. whey Protein Powder

Just blend everything together. I wasn't quite satisfied with this recipe....it was a little too tangy for my taste. I think next time I will add a sliced frozen banana and see if that helps with the tanginess. It wasn't bad or anything, just needs a little tweaking for my taste.

Anyone here have a recipe for a REAL THICK high Protein Shake? I purchased the PB2 and it tastes good with milk and unflavored Protein powder, but it's not THICK. I'd LOVE something like a milk shake.< /p>

Any ideas?
