JULY 2013 BAND BUDDIES

[sprinkle715 87]

Oh and George I had a little Peanut Butter today... Very small licks and I felt the thickness going down. It made me nervous so I stopped. It is on my list though but please be careful eating it. You aren't supposed to eat and drink at the same time and the peanut butter is thick and a bit scary and it might make u want to eat and drink. Also no chunky peanut butter!!!

I was banded on July 16. Down 9lbs so far and feeling good. Gas pains still but not too bad. My left shoulder hurts ATM.. But hoping that goes away. But all in all..doing good

Peanut Butter is on my list of "be careful with this and maybe wait till you are more experienced with the band" in the packet from my nut.

Yesterday i had lentil Soup and it was divine. Today I had a couple tablespoons of tuna salad - it was basically applesauce texture before it went in my mouth. Also had a cup (well 1/2 cup) of broccoli cheddar soup from Subway since I was out with my sister and nephew at dinner time. All worked out great.

Bought some diff kinds of squash today and am gonna experiment with soup recipes this week.

The diet I'm on said to stay away from peanut butter, nuts, seeds, corn, shrimp, fruit with a skin and a few other things for quite some time. This kills me, I love those things. I've been pureeing the crap out of Soups. I eat them with a few oyster crackers...

Mine randomly itch. I think that means its healing and scabbing. I've had other battle wounds not from surgery but they itched and its a good sign.

Has anyone had problems with there incisions itching?

You bet! It went away after about 9 days.
