so whats the plan....

Today's a funny day I am thinking long and hard how I am going to manage my eating over the next week.. I gained 300grams this morning.. It was bound to happen at some stage.. Yesterday was the first time I had attempted mushies.. I had 2 tablespoons of mince and veg put in the blender then into some smooth sweet potato and leek soup... then I gained pfffftttt!!!

Meal replacement shakes have been a way of life for me over the last 3 years.. Ive had them for breakfast most of the time in that 3 years... So I don't mind having a shake for breakfast and even lunch...but part of me thinks that's not why I got the band.. I just don't know what to eat... I am feeling desperate to get this weight moving ...

Interesting that for the first time since the day of my surgery I am getting shoulder tip pain when I eat... hmmm I am guessing that's my full feeling..

This gain isn't really fat you know....becaue how could it be...look at what you are eating????? I am sure that it will all settle down in the weeks to come. Perhaps thru this stage you need to weigh yourself just once a week. I did and after my fill weigh myself now everyday.....you are doing great !!!!

Katherine, I think the shoulder pain is from over-eating or even a little stuck feeling. I'm not sure but I had it last night for the first time! I think you are doing great also so do not get upset about a bounce on the scale. I have had that also and I know I shouldn't weigh every day but I do.

I agree that you don't want to just keep having shakes for breakfast and lunch. We got the band so we can eat in moderation and continue to lose. However, I will definitely always keep Atkins shakes around for times when I don't have time for another type of breakfast or lunch. I want them as a back-up but not as my usual.

You're doing fine! Don't worry....we'll get there!

Hi Katherine,
I am gaining then losing then gaining every day and like you Im at my wits end as to what to eat. I have no restriction but I cant eat the volume I used to. Sticking to approx 800 cals a day and gaining?????? I hope the fill does the trick because I am thinking this is not how its supposed to be. Hang on in there, Im sure it will work out, fingers crossed :-)
