What did you today?

Looloo · 11-03-2005, 02:58 PM

Would love to see an ongoing group food diary here, including things that were hard to get down, things that were easy, things that were 'refeunded" as it were. . .I'll go first, and I'm starting on a REALLY bad day!

coffee with milk, one sugar
double esspresso, one sugar
3/4 cup scrambled eggs
1 piece of bacon
1 slice of sausage (of a link)
COKE! yes I know
personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, eaten in two parts
2 Halloween size butterfingers

SO FAR, SOOOOOOOO BAD!
This is why I need to do this, and I think if I know others will be watching, maybe I can get it together. Also getting a well-needed fill next week.
Come on people. . .tell me WHAT ARE YOU EATING??

Holy smokes! Everything I am reading says "absolutely no caffeine" and "absolutely no carbonation!" How are you keeping all this down? This scares me that I will fall into the "cheat mode."

The caffeine is a no no simple due to the bad things caffeine does to us not because it can do our band harm.

Carbonation is the same thing. It is not good for our bodies. It steals the oxygen from our blood cells but on top of that it fills up space in our band. If you can't burp (YEAH RIGHT!) then it can make you uncomfortable.

I've never heard the no caffeine rule from my surgeon's office -- they are pro-caffeine as it were, suggesting a non-fat latte makes a nice breakfast if you are tight in the morning. You get both your milk for the day and it has a good amount of protein in it. :)

Here's my plan today (half accomplished)

Breakfast:
Coffee with a splash of milk / no sweetener

Lunch:
4 oz fish with a Tbs of tartar sauce
1/2 c chopped salad mixed in with the tartar sauce to make it go further

Afternoon snack:
an apple

Dinner:
3-4 oz of pot roast
1 C cooked carrots
small potato (I know, I know, I shouldn't be having this)

If I'm hungry later:
piece of fruit

Viactiv for calcium; multi-vitamin; 64+ oz of non-caloric fluids not counting the coffee

NJChick · 11-04-2005, 03:21 PM

Molly, I love the Viactiv chews. I suck at taking pills but I do remember to eat these things, YUM !!! put them in the frig and they take longer to chew :)
