First Day Back At Work. Lunch Packed.



Recommended Posts

Packed food for tomorrow...shake for bfast, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 3oz chicken w/ homemade nf greek yogurt tiziki (sp) 4 slices pear, bag of edamame. Sound reasonable? That's for 8am-630pm. I was banded 2 weeks ago and have no restriction so trying to be super good about portions and choices.

How long have you been on solids. 2 weeks is a very quick progression. Have you been eating solids or is tomorrow the first day. At two weeks I was only on yogurt.

I have been doing small amounts of solids the past few days. My doc said there isn't anything magical that happens at 14 days and if i am tolerating them OK its okay to slow into them.

I've been doing more Mushie than solids up until now.

I was sent home from surgery with the first 24 hrs all liquids then after that mushies till today and I was banded 2 weeks ago also. However today I went all out and ate a small salad, tonight I'm paying for it, thought I chewed well but I have a feeling of either gas or stuck, it hurts or achey feeling in the middle of my chest. Really feels like gas more than anything. I do not have any restricction in my band either. good luck tomorrow.

You may not feel like u have restriction but u have a band around the top half of your stomach there will be some restriction even if u dont feel it, be careful what u eat whether u have fills or not .. eat like u can feel restriction and u wont cause any problems.

salad can be a difficult solid to get down and the feeling u got may well be u were full, so sounds like u do have some restriction :)
