Could someone tell me after 7 weeks of the Lap Band, what is a typical meal for you through out the day?

What about those sugar free cookies?, are they o.k. with the Lap Band?

Gosh! I'm glad someone asked. I am eating like a pig all day long. I cant eat alot of food at one time, but I can eat all day long. The funny thing is that I've maintained the same weight for two weeks. I don't really gain anything. I have to admit I've been pretty bad. My intake is about 800-1000 calories and they haven't been the best foods either.
:faint:

I can't wait for my first fill. I still can't get my water in all day long. The most I've done is 32oz. What about you?

Lots of luv! Alice

Alice, what kinds of food are you eating now? Back to normal foods?

Mostly normal foods. My brother is a vegetarian so he cooks really healthy meals but I still have some of those old habits of picking on stuff at work all day. I stopped eating ice cream, cookies and chocolate bars. So I started buying some pecans and almonds, some high fiber cereal so I could pick in little bites. I can't eat ANY type of dairy anymore. I've tried to drink nonfat milk so I can eat some cereal but even that doesn't work. The lettuce always goes down slow and ends up frustrating me. But i've tried almost everything just to test myself. I can't really eat chicken because it gets stuck and becomes painful eventually. That's how i've ended up eating some bad foods rice, pasta stuff like that. However, on a lighter note I've been reading some nutritional books to learn how to mix my foods properly. Its a learning process, I have to train myself to change habits I've had all my life, its hard but worth it I'm sure.

What type of cereal do you eat? I would love to eat cerael. That is the thing I can eat any and everything.
