I am looking at all of the successful lapbanders that have lost a lot of weight. I am wondering if you can let me know what you ate? Is there anything that you have cut out/eliminated? Have you changed the way you cook? I am at a stand still and would really like some assistance.

I eat a totally normal diet from all five food groups.

Today for example, I've eaten:

Breakfast:

1 sachet of oatmeal

1 apple

Lunch:

a wholegrain bread roll with tuna, slice of low fat cheese, avocado and Tomato

an orange

dinner tonight will be:

chicken schnitzel (a very small piece of breast dipped in egg, breadcrumbs) and shallow fried

mashed potato

mixed steamed veges

lunch is the hardest, it took me an hour and a bit to eat that. I cant eat a whole roll at once, and I certainly cant follow it with a piece of fruit. But although technically, its eating around the band, to poke it down slowly over an hour means I've got on board a good healthy lunch that gives me enough energy to get through the afternoon.

I dont find the bandster rule of eating for 20 minutes or so does me much good because 2 hours later I'm starving. Whereas if I eat the whole roll I get through till dinner no problem.

that's a typical day for me. Now I'm at goal, you'll find a glass of wine here, a cappucino there, a bit of chocolate or a cookie now and then etc.

I tend to cook from scratch for most things, I dont like buying processed foods, or dinners in boxes.

I also run for an hour most days.

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