I am 9 days post op and I can eat any darn to goodness thing I want which has so far been, ministrone Soup & salad at Olive Garden today, lean chili for dinner, the Protein Shakes aren't cutting it anymore. I have NO, I MEAN NO RESTRICTION!! I hate it that I can't exercise b/c I am still so darn sore from surgery, also had Right side hernia repair along with band placement. I have also had low cal cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, baked pot wet w/ low cal sour cream, salsa (have alwayyyys loved! salsa, cannot stay away) I know I'm misbehavin, but I'm otherwise starvin and unable to concentrate at work, I am sure that being down yet from surgery (unable to perform my heavy at home duties, major bummer, as I enjoy caring for my home) is causing me some misery..........I'm going for broke tomorrow, I want to do a fabulous job tomorrow........let me hear from you!!! How did you experienced bandsters get throug this time?? I didn't have near this trouble pre-op diet, the days just flew by and I stayed active at home and work.................

plormf77 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Does anyone know if rice is considered a mushy food? (if cooked, of course) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northwest_Nance 0 Posted June 13, 2008 One of my favorites (and I'm still eating it now that I'm on to "regular" food) is fat free refried Beans spread out in a bowl, topped with diced Tomato and then microwaved until the beans are hot and the tomato is tender, then topped with shredded Weight Watchers cheese and nuked again for just a little bit until the cheese melts, then topped with diced black olives (might want to leave those out of the mushy diet), guacamole, fat-free sour cream, and salsa. Tastes like I'm in a Mexican restaurant totally pigging out but the total calorie, carb and fat count are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
