[Val]

Thank you Kirstie...I think Im just eager to get the full feeling many of you have as always Im still hungry especially between meals..But I shall keep plodding on

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

i tell u what you could try for breakfast and it filled me right up, asda do turkey sausages in the fresh section they taste just like regular sausages have one of them with some scrambled egg mixed with low fat philly and some crackerbread if you need it? x

 

[Val]

wow that sounds a great brekkie..will try that xxx

Keeps me full for hours! I think the turkey sausages r about 92 cals but you get about 9grams of protein too so with the egg and philly on top it gives you a really good boost x x

Need advice on the gym pls fellow banders! I did it, yesterday I became a member of the gym...still feels weird saying that! But my instructor wasnt too sure on how to advise me with regards to my tummy. I have heard stomach crunches are a no no, but desperately want to do something to help tone my tummy. Any ideas on wot safe exercises I can do? Is power plate ok for me to use? Thanks x

I would suggest calling your provider I go the gym but have only been doing the treadmill and upper body strength training. I think running is supposed to tone everywhere x

Thanks for ur reply, phoned my provider and they told me I can do anything apart from contact things like kick boxing. Shocked im sure at some point I was told no stomach crunches but my provider has a band herself and says she does them! Well chuffed, goodbye tummy x

Just found this thread........... thought it may be helpful to start logging my intake here, maybe compare how i'm doing with others............ currently im 9 weeks post op nothing in band yet lol
Am following to 20 20 20 rule with eating from a small child's plate.
Still trying to figure this eating lark out lol
today i've had
B 2 x weetabix (sainsburys basic ones which are smaller)
150ml of lacto free skimmed milk
L 1 hard boiled egg 1 laughing cow light 5 crackerbreads
D 3oz boiled beef swede and 2 brussel sprouts
snack 1 jubbly icelolly, small banana, 5 malteasers LOL
roughly 700 odd calories
exercise so far is 7769 steps
would be grateful of any input at this point its very much mind over matter right now and following the rules................ am averaging about 700-900 cals most days
I know i need to add some fruit in once ive been shopping!! Thanks in advance, would love if you joined me too x x x
Oh p.s i plan to try cutting back the carbs too starting tomorrow

 

[flutterby1966]

I found this thread great when I was 'in the wanting to lose stages' weetabix maybe a slider food but for breakfast I don't think its a bad idea as sometimes we need to eat things like that at that time of the day. You have protein from your milk, plus the roughage our bodies need post band ... Carry on posting x

 

[Crystalrainbow]
