Hi all!

Just wondering what you favorite meals are since banding. I have only been banded 2 weeks but want to know what I have to look forward to as well as new ideas.

Tell me your favorite meals (With approx. portion size eat).

I have recently developed much more interest in cooking--which is good since I probably won't want to eat out as much!

This actually is so much different from pre-band for me. I ate so much fast food it's ridiculous..

Favorite b'fasts.. Yoplait Key Lime Whipped Yogurt or Quaker Oat Bites

Favorite Lunches.. Canned turkey mixed with cranberry sauce, small chili from wendy's, baked potato from steak out, egg salad(I've been craving this lately), a big handful of red grapes, or a small handful of colby cheese cubes.

Favorite Dinners- My first mushy food: a crab cake (appetizer) from Ruby Tuesdays. My goodness, and it's still a favorite dinner for me. chicken & dumplings (homemade), swedish meatballs & a veggie, beef & broccoli from chinese take out, keilbasa & saurkraut..

These are things I like having for those meals. I don't have any specific favorite I guess for 'overall'.

Ditto about the pre-band eating. I ate at a fast food place 1-2 times every single day before I was banded.

My favorites so far:

Homemade chili (about 3/4 - 1 cup, depending on the time of day)

Homemade macaroni and cheese casserole (about 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup)

Green Giant peas in butter sauce (1/2 - 3/4 cup)

Quaker Granola Bites as Breakfast or snack (1 packet)

Homemade Kung Pao chicken w/ brown rice (about 1/2 - 3/4 cup)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
