Thee-O 15 Posted May 20, 2011 So I had some lunch with my dad this afternoon. Since I am the mushy part of my diet I went with two runny scrambled eggs and a cup of chili. I ate the eggs fine and a half cup of the chili and was completely satisfied. So strange. In the past I could have eaten that and whatever my dad was eating as well. My dad, couldn't believe the change. I can't believe it. So strange. Tell you one thing though, that was the best scrambled eggs I have ever had Glad to finally get out of the house for a bite... 1 GoSetReady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reverie 49 Posted May 20, 2011 Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? It is strange at first but the outcome is nothing short of amazing. I too remember the enjoyment of REAL food after being on liquids for 4 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast4U 6 Posted May 20, 2011 I just started mushies this week as well. I had two work luncheons this week and was concerned as to what I was going to order. Yesterday, I ordered a side of creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. I didn't eat the spinach because it looked too stringy so I was afraid to try it. The mashed potatoes were sooooo deelish. I ate approximately half a cup. Even though mashed potatoes are allowed by my doc at this stage, it's not something I would choose often since it's a starch. However, my options were really limited at that restaurant. Today, the restaurant I was at had a wonderful red-pepper basil Soup that consisted mostly of broth. I ordered a cup and was completely satisfied when I was finished. So far, so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FadnoMore 4 Posted May 20, 2011 that's great..can I ask you a question do you have retriction at this time or no fills yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thee-O 15 Posted May 20, 2011 that's great..can I ask you a question do you have retriction at this time or no fills yet no only 2cc's in a 14cc band. No fills yet. I think the psychological effects of the band have something to do with it as also a big fear over eating and throwing up. I hate to vomit. One of the worst feelings so I will pretty much do anything to avoid it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats! I had the similar dinner out to eat on Mother's Day with my Mom and Grandmom. They were shocked at the amount of food I did not eat. Wow, it's kinda playing with my mine. Keep up the good eating habits and weight lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
