The Icy One 518 Posted March 12, 2014 Be careful of potatoes and Beans right now they are more carbs then anything else. What is the best things to eat in the mushie stage? Things with Protein. Soft eggs, I loved six minute eggs, scrambled eggs. One of my fave mush meals was a bit of grits or mashed potato and a six minute egg. Oh, yum! Some lo-fat refried Beans and cheese. Yoghurt, cottage cheese, tuna broken up really small, oatmeal. Chili with cheese. Just kind of smush up the chili with a fork, and add some cheese and nom, nom, nom! Tomato Soup with cheese. Are you seeing a trend, here? I like cheese. And it is a good source of Protein, if it is something you like and can have. Quick grits and cheese... fruit cocktail and cottage cheese. Pretty much anything that is soft, fairly mild qualifies as mushie. Not too spicy, you need to eat foods that are gentle so that your stomach can heal and your band can settle into place and get ready to rock it's job. The mushie phase is tedious but if you are creative, it isn't too bad. 1 scorpianwoman39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Icy One 518 Posted March 13, 2014 I am so glad to see you love your band. I will be banded on March 26. first day here and fairly nervous about such a life change when food is my life. I really do love my band. It is such a useful and helpful tool. I have fully embraced it as my Little Silicone Friend. I am not perfect, every day but I am compliant most days and working on it. My band helps me to have a better, healthier all around relationship with food. I no longer think of food as my life. It is fuel, my life is other, better things, now. I hope that your band helps you to have that relationship, as well. 1 enuf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm only a few weeks in myself (21st February banded) and still finding my feet but looking forward to the future. I'm not struggling with anything but just getting used to changes.
