princesstracey 1 Posted June 9, 2008 I had my surgery 5 months ago, best decision of my life. My life has changed so much since surgery. Even though I can eat nearly anything, I dont want to anymore-I want to eat well, because it makes me feel well! I was wondering what your daily menu was like pre-lap band verses post-band. Here is my sample: Then: Breakfast: Starbucks Grande Frap. with Whip Mid Morning Meal: candy Bar or a Baked item from Starbucks lunch at Work: Hot Pocket and a Frozen Mini pizza or Frozen dinner and a Hot Pocket Mid Afternoon Snack: chicken Finger from Long John Silver and a Taco Supreme from Taco Bell Dinner: Frozen dinner Snack: Ice Cream, Candy....anything! Now: Breakfast: Fourth of a Cup Light Yogart Lunch: Fourth of a Cup Tortilla Soup Snack: Light String cheese Dinner: Fourth of a Cup Tortilla Soup snack (if needed): Fourth of a Cup Light Yogart or Tablespoon Hummus HUGE difference-this is truly a life change!

salsa1877 10 Posted June 10, 2008 Then: Breakfast Carl's Jr Load Breakfast burrito meal with large OJ and extra hash browns. AFTER BREAKFAST snack Doughnuts my students brought me everyday because they new how stressed I was BREAK TIME SNACK : 1-2 snickers bars or an ice cream bar...or what ever "prizes" I had for my students. Prizes are what I told DH they were! LUNCH: A salad or Soup or sandwich if I ate in the teachers lounge...chips, pizza pockets, more snickers, pizza if I ate in my classroom. AFTER SCHOOL SNACK: 2 Big Hamburgers from Carl's Jr (would eat them in the 4 minutes it took me to get from the restaurant to my apartment) dinner : Whatever DH fixed. Usually on the healthier side (until you eat 3-4 servings!) DESSERT: Ice cream, cake, Cookies...whatever. BEFORE BED SNACK: Whatever I could sneak into my mouth so that DH wouldn't know that I was eating AGAIN! And I said I had a slow metabolism. I must have a great metabolism considering that I only weighed 250 pounds at the time of surgery! Now (This was during weightloss. I eat more now that I am maintaining and training for a marathon) BREAKFAST: 1 turkey sausage and 1 egg LUNCH: Ground chicken meatloaf with veggies AFTER SCHOOL SNACK: Protein Bar DINNER: Spaghetti with WASA crackers instead of noodles. Yeah...major life change! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
