what do you eat?
There are no foods I never eat. And that is how I have lived since I was banded six and a half years ago. I knew that if I deprived myself totally of anything, it would just make me want it the more. I know for some people it is easier to cut things out completely, but not for me!
Having been below goal since 2007, i just eat a normal menu, just small quantities and the occasional few weeks cutting back if the pounds go on!

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I haven't been on this board for a while, but for a long time there, one or two members would post a "What are you eating today?" thread. It was a great way to get menu ideas. You might want to post something like that too.

I dont think I could go the rest of my life not being able to eat chicken, salads, raw carrots, pork because that is a big part of my diet now and its healthy foods .
I eat chicken probably five times a week, a day of pork and then maybe a steak or sometimes it might be the other way around 4 days of pork .
I eat alot of salads also I eat probably a salad a day sometimes two times a day.
Instead of bread I eat Mission Low Carb tortillas. they are 19 carbs but has 13 grams of fiber in it. I make breakfast burritos out of them , Philly cheese steaks, or even enchiladas . My family loves them .
Poached eggs & half English muffin
Kashi go lean
Dannon go lean Greek yogurt
Puffins with milk
Lunch:
Tuna Salad + RF wheat thins
Lean protein+veggies
Soup (eat the broth first then solids and always homemade)
Cottage cheese with raw carrots
Dinner:
Any lean protein with veggies. Sometimes have quinoa or brown rice.
Snacks:
String cheese
Laughing cow + cracker
Atkins advantage bar (usually just half)
