I AM AT THE MUCHIE STAGE POAT OP DATE 06/18/09 I KNOW I CAN EAT MASHED POTATOS, I DONT' KNOW WHAT I CAN EAT THAT IS GOOD FOR ME AND EVERYTHING I THINK OF DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROTIEN. ALL I GOT FROM MY DR. IS A LITTLE BOOKLET THAT LISTS ABOUT 4 THINGS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. PRIS.

Hi Pris, I'm very new to this but have already been having quorn, a meat substitute which is purely protein. Here we can buy this from the regular supermarket from the freezers. I know I will be eating it when I get to chew in a few weeks, oh my teeth and brain can't wait hehe. I'm sure you can find something similar that would suit your taste, good luck Louise

Beans, (really any kind, lima beans, black eyed peas (yes, I am from the south!) ect...also refried beans are quite tasty, scrambled eggs,

Try eating some peanut butter crackers, fudgesicles, or a protein bar. There are a lot of new protein bars on the market now. Hang in there!

Hi, If you had surgery 6/18/09 then there are alot of things you can eat. you should be able to go to lapband.com and they have a schedule of what you can eat. you should be on a full liquid diet from day 4 to 18 . food like low fat cottage cheese, light yogurt, low fat cream soups or broth soups, cream of wheat cereal, tomatoe juice, v-8 juice, fruit juice but only 4oz a day. but thats some things for you and also sugar free popsicles, pudding low fat, gelatin sugar free. so good luck and i will be glad to help i have a folder with alot of information in it that my nutrition gave me. good luck. there are alot out there you can have also protein drinks.
