Hi Everyone . .. I'm looking for some recipes or suggestions to help make the broth more tasty. I am on day 2 of liquid pre-op diet. Someone had posted something about hot and sour soup and basil broth . ..suggestions anyone? THANKS!!!
The paperwork from my dr. says exactly this, "food should not need chewing. Chew food 10-20 times", huh? If the food is pureed to the point that it does not need to be chewed, is it still necessary to chew it? Sorry . .. I'm a newbie . . . scheduled for banding next month. Thanks for any input available.
I'm scheduled for Thursday . .. keep me in your prayers everyone! I'm excited .. . scared .. .most of all READY.
I have appreciated this site so much. I feel much more prepared than I would have been had I not read so many of your stories. Thanks to all who share.
The dietician at my doctor's office advised me of a product that I ordered and just got in. It is "Nectar" from mybariatricpantry.com. Has anyone heard of it or tried it? It should be great for the days after my surgery tomorrow. It has 23g of protein in one serving. You can mix with water or milk and all sorts of flavors . . . I like it.
So I'm finishing laundry and making sure things at home are done before I head in tomorrow. I'll post to you all when I can .. .Thanks for all the support!
Hello everyone and happy Labor Day. We are spending our day . . . well, laboring. We are going to cut wood this morning. I have laundry to catch up on and I actually brought home some work that I have put off doing all weekend, so I need to dig in and get it done and I need to get over to my mom's and do some cleaning. I will take time for a good walk and that will feel great. No cook outs today and that's ok, I'm really not missing it. How about you? Whatever you do to celebrate Labor Day . . .I hope it's a successful day for you. Be mindful of food choices and get in some exercise, you'll feel great for it tomorrow.:smile:
I was banded yesterday. One night in the hospital and home today. Things just couldn't have gone better. The hospital staff was great. I'm walking and snoozing and drinking and doing all the things I am supposed to do.
This IS the first day of the rest of my life - here I go!
Third fill today and so far so good. Liquids only today and tomorrow and soft foods on Sunday. My doc is pretty conservative and I like that. He does his fills under x-ray, so can tell when it's tight enough. I am now at 6 cc in a 10 cc band. Again, liquids only today and they are going down just fine. I'm hoping to feel less hungry between meals. Have a great day all!
