Monday' s intake:
Actimel
protein shake
2 cups of coffee
oxtail soup
1 cup of rose hip tea and two sweeteners
chicken soup
water - more than I have been able to drink recently but not enough
I think that rose hip tea must be some kind of diuretic because I was going to the loo a lot after drinking it. I went to see a member of my team at home who was taken seriously ill just before my op and has had major surgery. She gave me the rose hip tea.

Hi Yummy!!
OMG tiny fills...tell me about it!!! It's really frustrating!!
However, logging daily is helping all of us behave ourselves and certainly the results are coming along !
Try and make your meals as protein packed and dry/dense as possible as this will be great for stopping hunger pangs and is excellent for weight loss in general.
Some of us have a treat day after weigh in on Saturdays which helps morale a lot and is useful in keeping us strong during the week.
I always think rosemary conleys quick start calorie allowance is good for banders 1200 -1400 and try and build up to 10k steps a day.
The main thing is not to be disheartened by the wait for restriction, just do what you can to have a good day, concentrate on one day at a time and it will happen x

thanks Neen and sarah am trying not to get too disheartened and yes tiny fills when she said only 1ml i counld not believe it. i am full for 3-4 hours after eating my main meals. how can i get more protein in?? do you think i am not eating enough calories Neen? amount of exercise is also tricky as i work 8-6pm and then have the usual house work and 2 kids and O/H to take care of so have started doing a 20-30min walk in my lunch hour was trying to go swimming 3 times a week but struggle with child care for 2 year old as O/H doesn't get in til gone 7 at night so its been a bit of a nightmare getting time to myself i am thinking the only alternative is to do some exercise at 6.30 am when i get up!! have ordered zumba wii looks like fun.
oh and sarah if you have finished your house work make your way to south wales i've got plenty to keep you going lol

Have a look at this Yummy
http://www.wlsurgery.com/wls-banders-faqs/135438-post-op-eating-tips.html
As there are some excellent tips for us there x
See how you get on this week with logging stuff down.
I would only tweak what you're doing if you are not losing a pound or two a week.
Protein is really good as it hangs around and empties out of the pouch slower so anything that helps when you have a small restriction like that, I always mention x
The zumba sounds great! Whatever you can fit in will help, the main thing is keeping it do-able enough to be consistant.
Being a busy Mum is great exercise in itself x

I know it's not fair is it?
See how you go this week, if nothing moves then maybe make it up to 1200 a day.
What I am doing is having around 1000 a day during the week because I have treats on Saturday. Hopefully this balances out.
I've been losing 1 or 2 lbs a week doing this but my exercise is not good enough yet.
I think we just have to tweak as we go sometimes x

Size 16 - yay!
Evening friends! Today I've had another good day and am really proud of myself actually! Started TOTM today and felt crap (as I always do at this time, and I know most of us do!) but instead of getting home and eating loads of c**p as I would do normally I still had something a bit 'naughty' but made sure it was in my calorie allowance. In fact I've only had 1100 cals out of my 1200 target so all in all not too bad.
I had:
Fibre plus bar - 111 cals
Tuna lunch pot thingy - 203 cals
Babybel cheese - 70 cals
W/W caramel crunch bar - 71 cals
2 chicken frankfurters (71 cals each)
Fried egg (with fry light) 70 cals
75g oven chips (100 cals)
Milky bar - tiny one only 69 cals
Packet of w/w cheese puffs - 80 cals
Milk in coffees
Didn't manage any exercise today but am setting the alarm early tomorrow to get up and go for a half hour walk before work.
Hope everyone else okay. Speak again tomorrow x

Today has been difficult - I have really felt like picking and I think it's because I haven't chosen my food well.
Breakfast - yogurt
Lunch - m & s meatball soup (which was surprisingly horrible)
Tea - m & s cumberland pie, ice lolly
snacks - chicken tandoori and sweetcorn, chocolate mousse, sugar free jelly, milk drink
1.5 litres of water, only 50 gms of protein.

There are going to be trickier days for all of us for various reasons.
You did OK xxxx
Sometimes if I feel really nibbly I go brush my teeth..that helps a bit as the zingy minty taste helps head off a sweet craving and also puts you off wanting savoury a lot of the time as well x

Neen said:Better late than never Jo xx Ooh I love scrambled egg..I couldn't eat it when my band was tighter...and I love Chicken Korma!!!
Always helps when the tiny bit we do eat is enjoyable eh?
Too right Neen, I still can't eat certain foods as they get stuck, I'm a little worried about my first fill. Am I still swollen do you think? Can't imagine being any tighter! It's a real learning curve! xx
