I was banded 4-4-11 and it does get better on "mushies"

I still have one week of mushies and I'm starting to loose interest!

WAH...hope I can come up with something different to eat that is low carb, low cal, low fat, and SF!

Mushies are hard but I'm finding that I like a few things.

My "mushy" plan per doctors' orders is low fat, low carb and NO sugar! My paper says to eat 2oz. pureed meat and 2 TBSP veggies (for lunch and dinner) Breakfast calls for a mushed egg. Then 3 snacks which are 2-4 oz protein shakes...snack after dinner says yougurt, SF pudding, or processed cheese. I'm supposed to be adding protein powder to my eggs, yougurt, veggies etc...

The digestive pains are slowly going away! No hiccups but a lot of burping.

I'm doing pretty good on the mushies and feeling much better....here is what my food has consisted of this week thus far:

pureed ckn breast, apple, celery, salt, pepper and 1 TBSP low fat mayo. It is like ckn salad.

Mushy egg with a tiny bit of mild salsa.

Mushy egg with mayo, salt & pepper like egg salad.

Baked ricotta with a little bit of sauce.

My favorite veggie pureed is squash which goes well with the baked ricotta!

That is all I can think of for now.

After you eat your mushies, do you feel satisfied?

What types of things are you eating in the "mushy" stage?

On a side note, have you experienced any stomach aches on an empty stomach, before & or after eating? I'm with you, all these weird aches, pains, and grumbles freak me out!!!

I'm so over the liquids also...however I'm having a hard time getting my 60-80 grams of protein without them! The so called "tasteless" protein powder is hard to choke down!!!

When were you banded? I was banded on 4-4-11 and I just started the "mushy" stage as well!!! I'm feeling some of the same things you are. We can do it!!!!!!!!

I was banded on 4-4-11! No painful hiccups but severe stomach growling and hunger pains!!! I just had a protein shot and it seemed to help. It had 26 grams of protein. Are you feeling hungry?
