I read with interest all of the different foods that everyone is eating. Banded in December 2007 I am still unable to "eat" many foods. eggs, chicken, any beef, Pasta, veggies (even mashed) potatotes. Really hard time with any kind of fruit. Fish !!! If I get it down it doesn't stay down. Sometimes hard cheeses are okay provolone but not swiss. Chicken cutlets definitly not-pizza I wouldn't even try. So basically even though I am down 47 lbs. I would have to say that I am still in a mushie state of minds.

Any suggestions?

All indications sound as if your too tight - but hard to say if that's been your "norm" since the beginning. I was a tad too tight after the last fill for about 10 days, then things went back to normal where I can eat all the foods you describe as a problem. I would give your Dr a call and tell him your still stuck in Mushy Mode, from what I've read & my own Dr's advise - it's not best to eat that way. 3 solid high Protein meals - if your having a problem with that, then a slight unfill might be needed.

47lbs...Great loss!!

This sounds boring, but for some reason, yesterday I just thought it was the best thing ever.

For lunch I had tuna salad with avacado slices and a few cashews on top....it was so good.

And one night last week, I roasted a standing rib roast. :faint:

I see a lot of people eat tuna...I just hate tuna. :unsure: Maybe chicken in a can will be a good subsitute?

Yes, it works well as a substitute. I like both but I need a change once in a while and go with the chicken salad make from canned chicken. Just remember, that one can will make quite a bit! Try it and let me know how you like it!:lol:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
