The list of foods I have troubles with... I can eat bread but in VERY small portions and VERY VERY little bites so I just stay away from it. With the lap band my aunt, friends, cousins and surgeon told me that there would be food that you just can NOT eat at all and I mean at all. It is a learning experience to which ones you can and can not eat. Now mind you I have only had one fill as my band gets smaller and smaller there will be even more foods that I can not eat. But, so far the list includes:
Zinger Snack Cakes, Gummy Candies, Dry Chicken, French Fries and Soda.
Last week I have started my protein diet that my surgeon and nutritionist want me on. As my cells lose the fat I need to protein to build muscle and continue to lose. So it is much like the Atkins diet. Though I can fruit and milk and juice and veggies. I just have to limit my carbs. Carbohydrates just turn into fat and that is not what I want while trying to lose weight. LOL!! I am quite proud of myself. I am determined to do this the right way. I have another 105lbs to my ultimate goal and I am determined to make it to my goal if not smaller.
I am going insane this week though because I can not weigh in. I "started" and if I weigh while on it it will be off. I just can not wait to weigh in and see how being on the protein diet helps with my weight loss. I sure am happy though. I almost need to go shopping for new pants and shirts. I seriously would recommend the surgery to anyone that can not get the weight off with normal diet and exercise.
