Hey ya'll ~ I was banded on Thurs (10/31). Feeling about 90% except for the occasional gas pain in my right shoulder :thumbup: It's agonizing!!
I definitely feel restricted, but am minding my P's & Q's. I'm not one to throw up and personally would rather gnaw off my own foot, so I'm careful and cautious. However - now that I'm back to mushies - I'm wondering - why can't I have a boiled or deviled egg? Why can't I lick a spoon with Peanut Butter? Why aren't veggies on my "ok to eat" list if they are cooked very "mushy"? I'm not talking about mean or bread or anything like that, but I'm finding myself craving a boiled egg - which I've never done, but that tells me I'm probably craving Protein. I had a shake and it is was fine, but I just want to expand a little bit. What's the big concern if I can tolerate it and it's healthy, and I'm eating it within appropriate portions? I like to cook, and try new things. I guess I'm just a little confused about why the main protein source should be a shake. Can't we eat a little more naturally/organic/healthy foods that are just cooked to the right consistency/texture ~ or am I just misunderstanding? My follow-up isn't until the 12th, but I'm thinking of calling sooner just to ask.
