I was really naughty today...

[TeganRheana 1]

I had 1/2 a polony sandwhich. it was DELICIOUS! I only had a 1/4 at a time...Surprisingly it went down fine and I haven't felt ill or had any problems though which is good - i guess. I did make sure that I chewed and chewed until it became liquidy before I swallowed though. I am only supposed to be starting mushy food on Thursday - not tomorrow but the next day...so now I'm feeling guilty. :purplebananna:

What sort of foods did you all eat when on the "soft and mushie" foods?? or more so....what couldn't you eat?? (pretty much everything I can think of can "turn" mushy if it's chewed enough times before swallowing but I don't know if I should be thinking that way :Banane01: lol)

I ate refried Beans with ff sour cream and cheddar a lot. I also ate chicken salad that I made using the food processor. I used my food processor to mush up chili, stew, steak and gravy, you name it. My food processor was my best friend during the mushy stage.< /p>

You are looking at it (the mushy food part). the same way I did... I have been fine and been losing weight. (Insert "I am not a doctor claim here")

I think the critical thing is the 4-5 oz at a time... Naturally regardless of what you eat (just dont be drinkin' milkshakes, etc.) you are going to lose weight at 3 meals a day at 4-5 oz.

People sometimes say, "Oh my God, you need more food, its so unhealthy". My answer is, "So was being 359 lbs!"

Sounds like you are doing great - just be careful and stop at the slightest sign of being full! When were you banded?

Excellent thankyou girls!

phlphan - I am so glad you thought the same way :purplebananna: I was banded on 7 May :Banane01: so I'm 13 days post op :Banane33:

my favorite was the blended beef masaman and white rice from the local Thai restaurant - tender beef with LOTS of sauce!
