Futurefitgal, Its a 5 day diet that helps you get back int he lapband frame of mind re: eating. If you google it there are a few websites that teach what it is.

It also helps your stomach recover from throwing up if it has gotten swollen/inflamed.

re: scrambled eggs

One of my worst day-long slime/PB fits was from scrambled eggs and grits. Just 2 bites keep me kacking for about hours and 250 miles of otherwise enjoyable country scenery.

re: Jerky

I was terrified of this for the first 2 or 3 years postOp, then finally tried some buffalo jerky. Surprisingly it worked fine. If carefully chewed it works well for me.

re: chicken

remains an 'iffy' meal; sometimes yes, sometimes no. Sometimes I can eat almost one whole long-style nugget, almost never 1 whole one as I get TOO full. If I don't chew thoroughly I get stuck and PB for an hour or so. Sometimes grilled a small thigh is a delight. I'm not a big fan of chicken these days.

Having enough hard dense high Protein continues to be the best way I can remain satisfied for 3 or 4 hours.
