Daisalana 33 Posted November 2, 2007 Canned turkey and canned chicken have quite a bit of Protein per can. It says 1 can= 2.5 servings, but I can eat at least 1/2 of it in 1 serving. (these are the rough estimates) 60calories per serving, 10-23g of protein per serving (turkey vs. chicken). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndioGirl55 32 Posted November 2, 2007 Here is a typical days food & exercise. BF - Dannon Lite & Fit Yogurt with 1/4 cup LF granola or 1/2 Cup Eggbeaters with a tad of cheese & ham or a weight control oatmeal (calories for bf 100 - 160 - Protein 6 - 12 g) Lunch- Ususally left overs - Veggie 1 - 2 cups & small can of tuna About once every 2 weeks go out to lunch and eat a Taco or el pollo loco chick & bean 1 corn tortilla (Calories lunch 200 to 250 - PT 15) Afternoon - Clear Protein Drink that my Doc Sells (calories 70 - 15 grms pt 15) dinner - 4 oz baked catfish - 1/2 cup rice or small red bake potato 1 or 2 cup yellow crooked neck squash & zuchinne. or spinach (calories 320 - 400 - pt 25) Evening - 2 SF Choc puddings & 1 heathly Choice SF fudgecicle (calorie 200 to 300 - pt 7) Exercise - 5 day a week go to gym - walk minimum 2 miles - am now doing a 16 min mile - started at 22 min mile goal is 15 min mile - may do 3 miles on one day and on saturday mornings i strive for 3 or 4 miles and once in a while do a little work on the weights - but mostly just the walking... Those calories are not exact nor is the menu - I figure i eat about 1000 to 1200 calories a day and get minium 60 grms of Protein. I mostly use I can't believe it's not butter spray on my veggies & rice and some times a tad or real butter and olive oil to bake my fish - I eat fish 5-6 days a week red meat once a week- I count calories and protein and diary all my food in a little notebook that i carry. Prior to this last fill - i was usually eating 2 cup of food per meal - excluding Breakfast.. I got my 2nd fill on 10/24 and will start the whole banding diet over - 1 week full liquids - 1 week mushies - 1 week soft - 4th week back to reg food. I am working hard at this and i am hungry at times -- it's a mental challenge to change your eating habits. If i am extra hungry at nite - i eat extra veggies - may have lite toast & butter along with 1/2 cup o.j. (lite) - I dislike exercise very much - but i know that it is a MUST to help you loose weight- good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LindaSusan 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Hi everyone! I was banded 7/2/07. I still have difficulty eating meat.....i can only eat ground beef. I really miss chicken, etc. I only have 1 1/2 cc in my band. Is this normal? I see many of you eat meat and have a fairly "normal" diet. No matter how much I chew, I have to wait after a few forkfuls for food to "go down". So I just sit there and do nothing while everyone eats. If I continue to eat, food will get stuck, etc. Please share your thoughts with me. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweethazel 1 Posted November 4, 2007 linda thats very normal...slow way down and take VERY small bites (size of pinky fingernail). i still have to push away while everyone else is eating if i eat too fast. you will get used to the signals in time. Try using a babyspoon to eat with, it forces you to take very small bites. in time you dont even think about it anymore you just do it automaticly. also...try ground turkey. i love it. I still cant do chicken real well but find i dont miss it so much really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
