Banded april 23rd

[bnixon 4]

Hi all, I was banded April 23rd. I'm almost to the point of puréed food. Right now the food I've been eating was my left over shakes from pre-surgery, Jello, mashed potatoes and Soups. Does anybody have any suggestion for puréed foods. I'm really missing meat!!!!

Thanks!

I was banded April 25th and still have 2 more weeks of full liquids. Ugh. I cannot wait until puréed foods... I am craving meat/chicken/eggs!

I think it's interesting all the different diets people have to follow after! Some have a lot more full liquids after than I do. Mine was just two weeks worth, then then one week of creamy Soups and milk with Clear Liquids, then two weeks of the puréed foods. Slow process no matter how you look at it I guess? I found the v8 fusion drinks awesome as they are getting me a lot of the Vitamins I need.

5 days into my post-op my surgeon told me to try a scrambled egg, eat it slow and see how I handle a couple bites...it was heavenly! I was banded 4/29...getting there!

Add a little light cheese for more protein! When you can eat solids, add crumbled turkey sausage or diced ham!

I tried a scrambled egg today. It stayed down but my stomach was a little nauseous afterwards. But it did taste good!!!! Back to work tomorrow, should be interesting.
