| Hi all My bands tightness is 9.0 ml fill. - Have a multi-vitamin in warm Berocca every morning along with a Super Nutrient - Brekky is a skinny hot choc with porridge or maybe even a ham & cheese croissant. - Mid-Morning is Chai Tea with small packet of light cookies - Lunch is usually some sort of wrap - at the moment I love chicken enchiladas from Aldi -Mid Afternoon is a Big M - Usually have a bottle of water on my desk that i sip at all day. I find that i tend to nibble throughout the day but by the time I get home, i very rarely eat and usually just have some sort of smoothie or optifast at night. I have been looking into Green Smoothies to get more nutrients in. - No rice / pasta / bread (except 1 slice of toast with egg now and then) Weekends I tend to eat differently as my wonderful boyfriend is great cook and he makes all sorts of wonderful things for me to try out and I have a butter size plate. I'm thinking he should make a cook book for us. Cheers Donna |

| Ge Lilly, how do you survive on that? I would be absolutely starving. Today so far:- 1 Centrum 50+, 3 fish oil tablets, 1 B12+Folate 1 weetbix, 2 heaped teaspoons sunflower seeds, milk to cover. Yesterday: same b/f as above Lunch: 1 small avocado (hard to find, but my local fruit shop has the small ones, ideal for one person, would be only size of 1/3 normal avocado approx) this would not be my normal lunch, but I am busy getting things ready for my daughter's wedding on Friday so just grabbed what I could find. After lunch at the shops, 1 small cup fat free frozen yoghurt (fat free, but not sugar free unfortunatly). I shared this with hubby as he polished off his icecream in no time at all :) Working at home so did not cook last night, so ended up having an optifast. Before bed I had a glass of milk and 1/2 banana. not a normal day for me, not enough protein... |

| Sorry if you think that sounded nasty - I just meant that there had been a bit of general discussion here, which doesn't normally fill the page (on this thread). As there are currently 75 pages to this thread, if you look through them you should find plenty of food ideas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Jude, It is recommended that we eat between half and 1 cup of food at each meal. It also kinda depends on how tight your band is or even just how fickle your bandee is feeling on a particular day. What you can eat one day you may not be able to eat the next. It really is a bit of trial and error. Try to remember to eat slowly, there is less chance of over eating that way - easier said than done tho !! Oh, your band may loosen up a little too as you have just had a fill. Hope this helps. TARA |

| gee that sounded a nasty...Yelling, not on this page!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jude, There has been some discussion on this thread which doesn't normally fill the pages. If you go back a few pages, you will see very clearly what and how much people eat. There are plenty of posts in regard to that, just NOT on THIS page! |

| My doctors nurse...the one that weighs me and listens to my moaning... has a band so I am lucky enough to have someone who is activly involved in the process. I have heard the most obsurd advice from the non banded about the should and should nots with the band. Like loosinit said...they should shut their trap. Aaaaaaaaaaand each banded person is different, can eat different things and finds different routines etc works best for them. I think if what you are doing is working and there is weightloss, then dont frig with it. I love food and so I run a loose..ish...band. Enough to keep me happy but not loose enough so Im off the chain. I can still have a small amount of steak if I am sensible but I stress sensible. If I didnt have breakfast most days, mentally I would think my throat was cut aaaand I love a cup of tea with breakfast too so I have that as well and to hell with the no drinking with food rule at breakfast. This is our new life, try to work it into a liveable and enjoyable way to eat and you will wake up 12 months from now and go ..geeze am I here already. I bet your doc as skinny as he is enjoys a glass of cardy chardy or a tipple of scotch... and I also bet if he suddenly had to cut something out to be 'healthy' it wouldnt be that.... stuff him I say! |

| losingit, You make me laugh! My banding doctor needed a dam good feed! My dietician was stick thin but looked that toned she could lift her 4WD to change the tyre! My plastic surgeon, now, he was as hot as! Very very good looking boy, so thin though. He looks like he chews on nettles when he's hungry!I think he would have rock back and fourth in the corner of the room if I offered him a processed snack! It would be funny to have a banding doctor larger than we were at the time we were banded. A sweaty one, with bad breathing lol! I wonder if that has happened to anyone, their doctor was a trainwreck lol! |

| My thoughts too! These damn 'professionals' who claim to know it all, who live WITHOUT a band, and preach to us what to do. Yes, yes - I know they are trained and educated and . . . . . well blah blah blah. However, I am the one who has to LIVE with the band, and I will eat breakfast no matter what. Last time I was at the surgeon's I was told that breakfast is not necessary. Well, maybe not for her, but it is for me. Even if I have to have a liquid breakfast, which I mostly do, my body needs it to get going, and to prevent headaches mid-morning. I say we all have to figure out what suits us best, but I'm going with three meals a day and snacks if I feel I need them. When the doc has lost 90kgs, I might be interested in listening. Otherwise, kindly keep your trap shut, doc, and let me do what's working for me. |

| Zactly! And I cant testify that I have "diet" for years and lost and gained weight so that I never progressed, in fact I just got fatter. It was when I got the band and ate sensibly but small meals that I have lost the weight easily. End the pain and start to live. Choose protein first and dont starve yourself. Just dont eat rubbish. I am sure the doctor means well but at the end of the day he doesnt have a band. |

| Unzippin-i highly agree. Weeks that I have not eaten much I have not lost or even gained. My body definately needs fuel to lose. I found this out when I was eating only salads for a few weeks and continued not to lose, had one week of eating not so greatly and BAM there went a few kilo's. Im not saying eat badly, but the body definately needs fuel to lose. |

| Geri I lost 65 kilos eating breakfast and snacks....You have to eat to lose weight. It does depend what you eat and the cal intake but you still have to eat so your metabolism works. I eat protein weighted foods. I have eggs or baked beans or yogurt for breakfast... I eat the biggest loser snack bars or weight watchers lil choc cake treats between meals.... nuts seeds....cheese... and what ever everyone else eats for tea. We got the band to get off the merry go round...eat sensibly, make good, healthy food choices in no more than a cup measurement and listen to you doc...smile and nod your head. Take it from me if you can eat breakfast then eat it!! |

| Geribean, Sounds like you struck this doctor on the wrong day you poor thing! Here's the thing, I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say banded people need to eat small healthy meals. Some need to eat more often than others to keep them full and like me to keep their strength up so they don't feel like they are running on empty. Protein will keep you fuller longer thats for sure. So.... let me get this straight, if the doc says 3 meals a day and you must not eat breakfast.... are you to have lunch at 12, dinner at 6 and have a meal at 9pm right on bedtime??? Are you positive he didn't (even though he was cranky) say if you are too tight in the mornings skip breakfast, not to skip it regardless of how your fill is making you feel? Sounds odd. How long have you been banded? Have you got much to lose? Keep positive! you have lost 8 kilos I read, thats awesome! Phone your dietician and tell them you are concerned and confussed! I had phone consultations with mine from time to time to save me going in. I am sure that the dietician will point yo in the right direction. |

| I was told all this by Dr Bowater when I went to get my first fill on Monday 26/10. According to my dietician I had lost 8kg since my op on 30/09 and she was happy with me, but Dr Bowater was very abrupt and unfriendly, saying to listen to him and do it his way or fail!! I tried explaining that I had put on weight since my consultation in July, but he wouldn't listen. He insisted that his studies of lap banded people could be applied to everyone and that is what I should do. I have e-mailed Dr Watson to get clarification, but I have to say I'm not very happy and quite confused. Not to mention hungry and mentally slow!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Geribean I'd agree with storminateacup. I always try and include some protein for breakfast yoghurt or small piece of cheese. I have a dieticians recommendations for meal plan if you email me margot2@iinet.net.au |

| geribean, Who told you not to eat breakfast? Surely not your dietician? A lot of people are too tight to eat in the morning so they need to have a coffee for breakie and 10 am brakfast, I am some days, very rarely though. I would have thought that no one at all would suggest you skip breakfast unless you were experiencing trouble. If you don't eat breakfast you can't think! Thats why we feed our kids up at breakie time! I'm not a doctor, but I'm banded, and my opionion is that you have been given the wrong informaiton about breakfast! I only have crackers for breakfast with vegemite, but I have it every morning. I have been beande for over 3 years and my dietician who I went to for only 6 months told me to try 3 meals a day, however if I got hungry to eat a morning and afternoon snack that was healthy. I found I was hungry all the time so I eat 5 times a day now, very small amounts. As for a larger meal at night, mine isn't larger at all, however I do have a biscuit and cuppa at bedtime. Why don't you google some banding diets. See what other doctors/clinics are advising. I don't know your helth situation etc and I don't know anything about hormones, enzymes and livers......... but you gotta eat!!! A small healthy snack inbetween meals will stop you craving junk! |

| qui_xx, you have a great healthy post band diet, you have given me some ideas...thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You guys are allowed to eat breakfast? I was pretty much put in my place on Monday... *No breakfast you don't need it cos your band is tightest in the morning *A small protein rich lunch of fish or egg (which I hate) *Absolutely nothing inbetween lunch and dinner to retrain my liver to produce the right enzymes and hormones *A larger dinner with nothing afterwards *Only water, coffee and tea without sugar Has anyone else been told this? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Banditina07 - how are you going now after a year or so? Your daily diet looks great and made me think that I could go for a band after all. I thought that when you had a band done, you could not ever eat normal food again. Where and when were you banded. zee |
