I have the same problem and I am going today for an unfill. I can only eat bites and I am vomiting that up immediately. My husband almost called 911 because he thought I was having a heart attack the way I was holding my chest. My poor 3 year old son doesn't want me to eat because food makes me sick. Hopefully everything works out for you:) and me

Ok, I am in the pureed stage. i went out and bought all the stuff the nut said. I have canned salmon, chicken, cream of chicken and mushroom soups, yogurts, applesauce, malt o meal. Now what do I do with it. I was thinking of salmon, but with what? I would def. chew it good, but do you guys have some recipes. I haven't been horribly hungry since my surgery on Thursday, but I am starting hear a grumbling voice in my stomach. I even bought the lite miracle whip. I mean do I put the chicken with the mayo and have just that? Hmm are crackers permissible? I think this surgery is starting to get REAL. Honeymoon is over, I'm about to kick butt with some recipes for the next 2 weeks with your help

I have been experimenting with Protein Shakes and have made a really nice one if anyone wants to try. The recipe follows: crushed ice 8 oz skim milk 1 banana (mine was very small and brown-my mom friends says ripe) 1/2 unfinished strawberry yogurt (low fat) 1 scoop of dymatize vanilla Protein powder I blended it all in the blender and it was good. I did have a slight taste of protein, but my 3 year old son loved it. I gave him a taste in his own cup. Very Tasty and I think I can survive with this. Now I have to see how much protein seeign as how I gave my son some. 24 g for protein 8 g for milk 2.5 g for yogurt (I only used about 1/2) 34.5g total ( not bad for about 2 drinks ) I will drink the rest later today. Now lets see how long it takes for me to be hungry again. Hoping I can go 2.5 to 3 hours.

I was banded on 2/17 and they gave me that the next day. I stayed overnight-they gave me juice and broth that night. In the a.m. they gave me the malt o meal and milk. I really didn't eat it because I was not hungry. My schedule was 1 day of clear liquids (I was in hospital), 1-2 days of full liquids, 2 weeks of pureed, and 2 weeks of soft. I definitely need help with the pureed stage because hubby is grinding all food and it is not tasting good. Scrambled eggs pureed is not good! I ended up eating my sons eggs and chewing them really good. Malt o Meal sounds good right now (licking lips)

Whew! I needed you guys yesterday when the site was down. My mind is ready for the surgery, but my body did not catch up. I was doing fine at work then suddenly while I was teaching my k5 students how to write a letter on a chart tablet my back spasmed and I almost hit the floor. I could not move some students thought I was being silly. My more observant students were like are you okay Mrs. B? I told them I needed a chair---my one sweetie swung my chair to me from across the room and two other students helped me get to the chair. I was in pain. I could not walk. I rested for a moment and was able to walk shortly after. A teacher gave me 2 tylenols and I was able to finish the day. Fast foward---I think it might be stress. At night I started feeling better once I was passing gas and emptying my bowels. This a.m. too. I report for surgery at 11. Do you think my body is nervous, but my mind didn't get the message? Well I'm checking my bag again. talk to everyone once I get out!!!

Congrats! This is our week...another chapter in our lives book. Keep us posted on everything ... Jblady

I too am a February Bandster. I am so excited I can barely contain myself. I will have surgery in exactly 1 week. I am running around getting stuff together to make sure I am prepared~groceries, protein shakes, bras, heating pads, and meds. Is there anyone else getting banded on the 17th???

Thanks everyone! I'm on my way to Vitaman Shoppe to buy the Gold Standard double chocolate and the Designer's whey vanilla. I h ope to get the Premier Nutrition brand as soon as my friend who has a Costco membership gets better. What flavors are best just in case I have her buy it?
