Oh dear, nutritionally disastrous day
But perhaps not as you may be thinking!
I had my usual breakfast latte and then had a really busy day.
At about 6 in the evening, I thought about making dinner. And realised I had had nothing whatsoever to eat all day!
Before my band, when people said they had forgotten to eat, i thought they were showing off and didn't believe them!
And, of course, by the time dinner was cooked, it was closer to 7, I ate my normal meal amount and then that was it for the evening. NOT recommending this, 500 calories is not a good daily total! But who would have thought 5 years ago that I could forget to eat? As likely as forgetting to breathe!

Hi Kate!
Well, I have settled in to a new happy place with my band. I have started jogging and that has helped some weight to come off. I just don't think about food THAT often. In my personal life, things are a wreck right now, but I will push through that also.
I can just tell you that I hate all men. ha ha
Enough said.

Believe it or not, pre-surgery there were times I forgot or missed meals, but I wouldn't last into the evening. I might make it to midafternoon. The thing is, though, I would then spend the rest of the day "making up for it" by grazing and/or eating everything in sight!
What I forget now until I start eating is how quickly I get full...and how protein really keeps me full for a long time! Love it. I still fight head hunger sometimes, but it's slowly getting better. Now to stay away from those daggone carbs!
