Afternoon all, got back from my hols on Monday. Had a lovely time but the kiddies fell ill the last few days.
I think i had a bit of a wake up call on holiday, My son took some particularly unflattering photos of me in my cozzie which shocked me, also when it was really hot my thighs were chaffing together and gave me some nasty sores. I spent a lot of the time being really uncomfortable and it made me realise that i really have to work with this band. I haven't been trying hard enough if i am honest.
So from now i will be logging my food and exercise just to keep me accountable if anything.
Next year i would live to do the whole family resort beach holiday but i need to get in shape first.

So today
Breakfast: 2 Scrambled Eggs
Lunch: Sausage Salad
Dinner: Salmon Fishcakes with peas.
Drinks: 3-4 White coffess, 1.5 ltr Water
Excercise: Swimming or gentle restart at the gym

I don't have a lot of restriction at the moment, i am due my first fill on 7th july

B - dry granola 1/2 cup
S - small banana
D - chicken salad and snack a jacks
T - 2 fish fingers, tablespoon baked beans abs 2 tblspns mash, rhubarb jelly
S - flake

Hi Guys,

This is the first time i have looked at this thread and to be honest i am shocked at how small the amounts of food are for those who have restriction!

I have had my first fill, but have very little restriction! Went out for my birthday dinner at the weekend and managed to eat a normal starter and half a main course before i started to feel full! Having said that i must have some restriction as before i would have had all 3 courses plus a basket of bread!

If i get the same amount of restriction as you guys have i will feel much happier about going through the surgery!

I am still losing, but i am basically following a low calorie diet and not having any help from the band just now.

This has given me much hope x

Rache your cycling distances are great. I was going to venture out tonight but my band has other ideas

[Miss hungry]

B-mini shredded wheat
L-egg mayo (light mayo) 2 crispbreads, tomatoes. Low fat banana yog
S-orange lolly
D-chicken breast in BBQ sauce, broccolli and carrots. Jelly and low fat yog
If I want something later, I will have an apple and low fat hot choc.

Sounds quite good, but all the portions were a bit big, I'm having a fill tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some restriction back as don't seem to have any right now!

 

[Mazza]

Didnt have much to eat today, stressy day before my long weekend = tight band!

Breakfast - small banana then a bit later a satsuma

Lunch - tablespoon of tuna and sweetcorn, very small portion of grated salad (red onion, cucumber, tomato and corriander)

Tea - a small handful of dry roasted peanuts (small because it wasnt my hand lol)

Water and tea with skimmed.

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

Mazza can so relate to the tight band issue. Had one all day.

Actimel
protein shake
1 cup of black coffee with splenda sweeteners
beef consommé
chicken curry soup - nice had bits of veg and chicken - a lot thicker than soup so good for mushies stage - it is one of the fresh soup range from asda
pitiful amount of water

No exercise - mind was willing - band wasn't.
