Those of you in the cottage cheese/tuna is a slider camp might just be correct. I do know that removing bread/carby vegetables did speed up the rate of food pass through. The lunchtime portion seemed to hold me a little better. I had a cup of tea in the afternoon ( I wonder if those liquids between meals are important). I then had a burrito for dinner (fresh cooked costco flour tortilla and home-made chili with some cheese. After dinner I had a protein smoothie and some bagel chips...I should have skipped the chips.
I had acid reflux issues last night for the first time in ages (sucks for the fill idea!). I shouldn't have eaten them so late and I was a tad stressed about work the next day.
I am at work now. I had a morning protein smoothie and an afternoon diet-coke and one piece of fish and some potato chips (naughtily purchased from the fish and chip man) at2pm. I have just finished a cup of tea with milk at 3:30. I am planning on drinking a bottle of water with special K protein mix poured in.
Notice the pump up the protein techniques and increase the between meal liquids. I do not know if it is helping or if this whole endeavor is effective. If nothing else however it is making me very aware of just how much I am eating and drinking and how much more of both there is than I was eating before. The acid reflux is a red herring that I am a tad worried about.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

I do think drinking between meals helps a lot. Late afternoon I am usually "hungry" but I've realized if I have coffee it sates the hunger until dinner (and if I drink decaf I don't have to feel bad).
The acid reflux is worrisome. If it's one night, no big deal though-- right?
OOOh thats when I had acid reflux. Its only happened twice and the last time was months ago - but both times hit when I ate late at night. Maybe we are onto something here.
I also drink when hungry. It helps fill me up a little. I'm thinking of getting a touch of fill in too but then I think.. Nah I like where I am .. I can eat most things. But is that a good thing? lol
Boo on the reflux!
See you tomorrow! YAY!
I think drinking between meals really does help, at least for me. It's helping me stop my snacking, which was my weakness for so long. Hope your special K protein stuff helps! Let us know how it works for ya. :)
