Banders Daily Diet and Exercise Log

[claire36uk]

Hi Emma

Ive not eaten bread since March 09! gave it up before being banded as I was told it can be a problem when properly restricted. Anyway just wanted to know how toast effects you ie does it make you really full? Recently I have had the odd very thin slice of pizza - can manage a quarter where as pre op it would of been the whole thing plus garlic bread.

I would like to try toast but im scared

Hiya Mazza
Just been reading your post and sorry to jump in but thought you might like to try this, I like to have the odd slice of toast and some days i can tolerate bread ( only 1 slice ) and others i cant but someone on facebook mentioned warburtons milk roll, so i went and got some, doesnt seem right toast being round but it really did go down alot easier than normal bread and its also nice made into a sandwich if you feel like one, also its full of protein, its about 74p in tesco's and i usually seperate the whole loaf and freeze 2 slices at a time in individual sandwich bags that way the loaf doesnt go off if i am not feeling like having bread, hope this helps x

 

[Mazza]

Thanks Claire, I think I will try some

I had been told that bergens linseed bread is good as it also has lots of protein. I did used to eat it pre op and its very filling so I might try it again because my OH and daughter like it too.

[Neen]

As a lot of us are now logging our daily food and activity (and it's really helping us to get results again and stay focused)
I thought we could use this thread purely for that and chat in the old thread.

I am really finding this daily log encouraging and I am so glad a lot of us are doing it...we can lose just as much weight as anyone else, just a bit of effort and never giving up on ourselves and we will do it too xxxx

I know I'm not a bander, please move this if you feel it's not appropriate.

I realise I'm quite well on in my surgery now and it may seem a little too far off in the distance for some people? And I did start snacking a little but now I'm focussed again. I'm preparing for a mountain bike race in a months time so yesterday, this is what I did/had.

Breakfast : Bite sized Shredded Wheat and a banana
Exercise : 36 mile bike ride
After the ride : 'For Goodness Shake' recovery drink and soak in the bath
Lunch : Findus Fresher Taste Salmon in a creamy white wine and asparagus sauce with new potatos, beans, carrots and peas. Findus®—The Fresher Taste range
In the afternoon: Protein Bar, Pear, few nuts as snacks
Dinner : Fishermans pie and protein bar for desert.
