Hey everyone, guess what? I have ONE GOOD BAND DAY! Yesterday I ate Band-friendly. Then I binged last night, but this time I binged on a plain cucumber! Rock on! I got me one day, I got me one day! Whoo hoooo!

Lisa-

I want to thank you for starting this thread. For some reason it's really helping me enter into fitday my entire day instead of quitting at dinner because I ate out and it's hard to count...and I'm not sure I want to know. Seeing everyone make good and bad choices and then get on with life is really helping me keep this all in perspective. And, I think I may have broken my plateau but shhhh...I don't want to jinx it if it's true...

Congrats on your bandster day!!! Can you really binge on a cucumber?

Friday

Breakfast 9:30

half a cup of raisin bran crunch with milk

No, you can't binge on a cucumber, which is why I'm so pleased with last night! I would be thrilled if I ate raw veggies every night instead of sugar loaded with lard.

Megan, it's easier to write my food here than FitDay (that's just too much work for me.) I'm glad you like the thread. I hope it keeps me eating cucumbers.

Shelly, now I gotta make deviled eggs. That sounds so good right now.

All I gotta do is make it till bed time, that's all I gotta do, no more food. How hard could that be?

I had my decent Breakfast, my decent lunch, and a decent dinner plus too many Bugles and cheese Wiz (the diet police should put me away for life.)

But still, I wasn't stuffed full, so there's still a chance for me.

Wow, this is a great idea!!! I was so hard on myself when I wasn't losing weight. Looking at the posts here, I wasn't really as bad as I thought. My food was healthier probably even, but, my portions were probably too large. I admit, now that I am doing Nutrisystem with the band, I don't have to count calories as much (they do it for me)

Do most of you have to eat at the same time? I do, or I get off track.

I wake up around 8:30am I have to take thyroid medicine, so, I can't eat for 2 hours. I have my Calcium bar (90 calories) around 10:30am

11:30 today, I had my Cranberry granola bar-120 calories

2:30p I had lunch chicken salad and melba toast-approx 170 calories

4:30p Lite yogurt-110 calories-no fat

6:30p I have a salad with just lettuce and parmesan cheese and low fat dressing-approx 170 calories? I don't know the calorie content of lettuce. It was a small tupperware type bowl.

8:30p I had vegetarian lasagne (210 calories)

10:30p I have soy sour cream and onion chips (110 calories)

If I counted right, 980 calories. I eat basically every two hours. I feel like I am constantly eating, but, since I started this, it jumpstarted my weightloss again. I have lost 15 pounds in less than a month. Before this, I had plateaued for about 8 months. I haven't even started back excercising yet. I had been really lazy in that dept. I know with the lapband, you are suppose to only have 3 meals, but, I found I was hungrier and would eat more when I did eat.

Very interesting:

7:30-2 cups of coffee with creamora and spenda and cap of liquid Vitamins between cups

12:30-bowl of chili, (I was busy with appts Fri am), met dh for lunch

3:00-zone bar (breakfast)

7:00-1-regular, not jumbo, margurita, nachos (too many, didn't have any idea they'd go down so easy) with salsa

9:00-order of refried Beans (to go, lol)

I sure can eat more after the sun goes down than I can eat during the day

ps-Michelle, do you get hungry, you are soooo dang disciplined.

Am I the only one that still gets hungry?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
