| Thanks for all your replies about nuts and protein :). Thanks for the "suck the shells" tip, Col. I probably will just stick to eating them, and yes they are addictive. But after 3 days of eating lots of them I've had enough! I've had 2 today. Good to know they'll keep me regular, too ;) Cat |

| I suck the the pistachio shells for the salt as well...those nuts are addictive | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| fluffy_puppie I have been addicted to pistachios for ages now. I love them. I have a small hand full when every one else is having a biscuit etc with their coffee. I would eat about a cup a day if I have them at home. great for constipation sufferers. |

| Dear fp I find that protein stops me from getting hungry for longer than carbs do: I have several different types of mince recipes done up in little containers in the freezer and one of them keeps me going without hunger. Sometimes I have a slice of bread or some biscuits with it: for me, the protein really helps me forget about eating. Carbs, which I love, leave me craving for more..... and more.... etc. |

| Oh yes, I think it is also that the nuts are so band friendly. I only eat a small handful and man do I feel FULL! They really clog my stoma up for several hours and it is a nice feeling to be so full and satisfied. I've heard some of you guys talk about protein. Anyone on a really strict protein kick? Maybe that's what I need to stop my hunger? I ate half a tub of yoghurt and 1/3 cup of pistachios, cashews, macadamias for breakfast. VERY FULL. Any thoghts are appreciated :) |

| I've been eating nuts like nobody's business. I think I'm likely deficient. I crave pistachios in particular! I used to be a self-confessed nut hater. I'm eating around a cup of nuts throughout the day. Anyone else found they plumped up from too much nuts? I know they're high in fat, but they're loaded with good stuff. I haven't noticed the scales changing. Cat |

| Ok I need to be responcible for what I shovel into my gob at the moment, I have been terribley lax and while I havent gained weight, I also havent lost any either. I have 5 kilos to go till I reach my personal goal and I am sabotaging myself because my inner fatty heard my doctor say I dont need to lose any more weight... I am in the comfort zone...in the 'goooo orrrrrn have it you can afford it " place. So her is yesterday. B- 1 dry fried egg, 1/4 peice of toast plus another 1/4 with creamed honey... ( wanted more but resisted) L-1 chicken and apricot skewer and a mediteranian salad with boccocini and pancetta...yeah and it was full fat dressing. S- biggest loser mint choc snack bar D- Slice of ham and egg pie minus the pastry plus a slice of apple pie and ice cream 1 Rum and diet coke, and tea and water during the day. Wow its worse than I thought... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And starvation mode is when you eat practically nothing, but you still won't lose weight coz ur body panics and hangs onto it right? My dietician said to get a little bit out too - i just dont want to go too far the other way! Dang - this is tough! :-) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Marg, I wouldn't be worried but would be looking at getting just a small amount of fill out. You don't want to risk becoming dehydrated or going into starvation mode. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| B - L - a petit miam D - 1/2 chicken salad S - Kitkat, mini strawberry milk and 2 snack size chocs. I think im experiencing what ive read from some other bandits - i cannot eat or drink at all until late afternoon. It's actually quite painful if i try. Cold drinks also really hurt at the moment. Not getting enough fluid down at all - it's simply impossible! Is this normal? Or should i be worried? Marg :-) |

| peppermint essence in the choc shakes is good too | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Coffee can also be a diuretic, and as you are trying to keep up your water intake, maybe they think that the coffee will make the water pass through your system too quickly. Just a thought. I know with the Opti, they say no coffee, but i do sometimes add a little coffee to make it taste better. I am SO OVER chocolate shakes at the moment, lol. 3 days to go, my admission time has been confirmed. 9am friday. yikes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the only thing I can think of is that coffee effects the insulin responce which in turn can slow weight loss in gi sensative indoviduals..... however I am a type two diabetic and have never ever found that coffee or tea slows my weightloss....diet softdrinks however do....go figure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monday brekkis----coffee x 2 snack----coffee x 2 lunch----1 1/2 weetbix, skim milk snack--- dinner----1 1/2 crumpets, butter n honey, slice chocolate sponge cake snack----coffee x 2, 3 vitaweet, lite cheese spread snack----3 squares dark chocolate I am a very big coffee drinker and always will be :) the one thing i did totally give up was all soft drink/coke etc coffee doesnt affect the band, it just perhaps isnt so healthy to drink copious amounts rofl Leeanne |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pooga I've no idea why it was suggested that you don't drink coffee. I'm aware of that in the Opti stage, but I've never heard that we shouldn't drink it post-banding. Admittedly I have less now than I did pre-banding, but I see no real reason not to have it. Supposedly a diuretic, but it's never affected me that way. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Thanks to those who enter what they eat.... It is a really good guide as to what is 'normal' - if such a thing is possible and it also gives me some ideas of things to try. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can I just ask is coffee alright to drink in the levels that seem to be consumed on here.....not against coffee at all just I was told that I should stop drinking it. Cheers, D xx |

| Ok - this'll blow your socks off! Not my best food day by any means. Seems like restriction has gone out the window this evening - not a tad to be had. Usually don't eat like this, even later in the day, but it was just sooooooooo good to be able to eat and not have any repercussions (except perhaps the scales in a few days!). B - usual milky cereal (All-bran lookalike today) S - 50g cashews L - Lemon Opti S - Trail bar (cranberry) S - bowl roast vegetable soup (very yummy - in the recipe thread) D - 2 fried eggs, 1/2 cup vege stew, 1/2 turkish roll toasted with butter, marmalade and cheese (absolute heaven) 3 litres water 2 cups tea |
