1/2 cup of cottage cheese

Dinner

4 oz of baked chicken with a slice of cheese over it

Todays menue is

Breakfast

1 cup of Kellogs Fiber cereal
1/2 cup of milk

Lunch

Shrimp
cottage cheese

Yesterdays Total Calories was around 900 or so

and carbs was around 55 I believe

I eat anywhere from 900 to 1200 a day

 

Are you currently losing between 1 to 2 lbs a week?  Let me ask you do you think Wendys chilli is bad to eat.  I pick it up cause it's fast and says low calorie only thin I do to jazz it up is add sour cream light kind to it.  Breakfast I just do a shake it's easier for me dinner is the prob by the time get home I want to eat my butt off lol!!! My problem to is  I love soup I could eat it everyday every meal lol!!! Do they sell unflavored protien that maybe I can out in my soups.

Yes I lose around 1 - 2 pounds every week.  I go see my doc every four weeks and by that time I usually have anywhere from 7 -8.5 pounds off me , except this month weight loss is stalled big time *sigh*.

I dont have any fills either so this is all on a empty band .  I eat Wendy's chilli when I go out there is nothng wrong with its got excellent protein in it :o)

I dont do soups , soups dont stick with me,   I can eat soup and be hungry 2 hrs later , as if I would eat my 25 grams of protein I can stay full for a good 3-5  hrs at a time . so no soups for me .

You really should eat something for breakfast its much more  healthier then drinking them shakes all the time . 

If you are in a hurry get them Jimmy Dean D lite bowls it has turkey sausge, eggs and a few tators and its got 23 grams of protein in them. Zap them in the microwave and they are done in 2 minutes.  You can find them in the freezer section .

I eat them on the days I do Zumba in the mornings and they are yummy .

I guess they sell unflavored protein but I dont use it , I get my protein from foods not from that stuff or shakes :o) 

Wendy's chilli is definantly a lapbanders meal! Its easy to eat, and sticks with you, it  has 220 calories and 18 grams of protein! I'd say for those of us who struggle with protein, its  darn near perfect!

you can check out the "what are you eating today" post everyday.  I've found really good ideas on there before!!

Today's Menu...

Coffee/water

Breakfast - either apple cinnamon oatmeal, or a sausage patty

Lunch - tomato basil soup with ground turkey

Snack - pineapple fruit cup and low fat string cheese

Dinner - chicken breast and 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes

I eat so much more then that I miss when I was able to eat like that and be full and I was never hungry.  I am so use to eating way more it's hard to stop =(. This sucks!!!

Oh I usually eat more than this too...

Yesterday I ate....

Breakfast - Jimmy Dean frozen omelet

Lunch - 4oz ground turkey mixed with 1/2 cup black beans and 1/4 cup corn

Snack - fruit cup and string cheese

then a little while later I had the icing off a cupcake....   and 4 lifesavers....

Dinner - 4oz piece of salmon, 1/2 cup mashed sweet poatoes

after dinner I ate 2 slices of cheese.

There are days that I'm just hungrier than other days.   I always have a basic plan that I stick to for the most part, but that could change with whatever happens during the day.   As we all know, sometimes life just gets in the way.  :)

Hi,

Here's what I had yesterday:

Early: coffee
Breakfast Chobani Pineapple greek yogurt
Snack/Early lunch Lemon Meringue Protein bar (I don't normally do protein bars, but this variety is so good I think of it as a treat)
Lunch 2 small pieces of fish, 2 Tbsp Tarter Sauce and 1/2 cup of coleslaw
Supper  3/4 cup of Shepherd's pie (mostly the meat and veggies) and a 1 inch square of cornbread with butter and a drizzle of honey

Food Notes: This day came in at just over 1000 calories and  63 grams of protein. My eating plan is all about eating the same way I will eat in the maintenance stage. My calorie limit is 1400 per day. Some days I eat a little more and some less. For the most part I eat a little taste of the things I like and try to only deny myself foods that I feel like I have no self control around  (some examples for me are bbq chips and good quality ice cream)

I typically make one dessert per week for my hubby and this week's dessert is strawberry shortcake. I made it last night-- homemade biscuits, red ripe strawberries and the whole deal. It is one of my favorite desserts and believe you me -- I wanted a small portion of it for a late dessert last night but I was just not hungry for it physically (of course mentally I was:) so I didn't have any. The not being hungry for it was all a credit to the band.  Before surgery I would've wolfed down 2 big servings. Now I felt peaceful about waiting to have some the next day. It's something I've been craving so I'm going to indulge a little and plan it into today's calorie count. Here's today's food plan:

Early Planned to start out with coffee, but spilled the whole cup all over my desk and a ton of papers Yikes!!

Breakfast  3/4 cup of leftover shepherd's pie (one of my favs)
Lunch  Yes,  the same as breakfast, and a fancy sugar free coffee drink (I'll drink this before eating lunch)
Snack   3/4 cup portion of strawberry shortcake
Supper Turkey and swiss cheese rolled up inside lettuce with honey mustard dip

I haven't added everything to my food planner yet, but the estimate on this day is 1000 calories and 61 grams of protein. Typically I would have a small salad or a side dish or two with the Shepherd's pie or another type of meal that has more fat and that would add another 200-300 calories. These meals didn't happen to work out that way. 

Wendy's chili -- I love the stuff, for some people soup is a slider food -- some soups are for me  like a tomato soup but chili is not. If you don't have an issue with the sodium content and it sticks to your ribs -- go ahead and enjoy!

I'm just mad at myself and  it's hard to get back on track.  I eat that but I feel like all I do is gain and gain.  I eat a shake for breakfast and chilli for lunch but then I'm hungry and between lunch and home I am never hungry for a snack uggh just sucks!!! My problem is now they are telling me not to eat pro I have kidney disease.  I'm seeing a diet food lady maybe she can help!!
