Last night, after discovering that our movie was sold out, me & my friends decided to hit up a bar to see a couple of live bands play. This is the first time I've been in a bar since I was banded (on 5/29). My 1st reflex was to order a beer, but I froze in my tracks! I realized that beer was now off limits! My 2nd instinct was to order my beer back-up, a rum & Coke...ah CRAP!!! No Coke either! After a brief panic, I decided that it's the hard stuff or nothing. I ordered a Wild Turkey straight up on the rocks. I totally forgot what straight bourbon tasted like. When I took the 1st sip, my face shriveled up like when you suck a lemon. "Uh, this is terrible," I thought. After about three of those, I began to adapt to the taste. Then came the tequila shots...& some more Wild Turkey. I eventually got sloppy drunk! I'm not sure if it was from not having any real food in me belly or from drinking the "hard" stuff, or both. All I know is that I feel terrible today! (stomach is all gassy, too) I'll have to get used to putting away the hard stuff from now on & suffer the dangerous surly consequences or just safely stick to my other recreational habit. (see the "Marijuana Use After Surgery " thread in this forum.)

Does anyone know if rice is considered a mushy food? (if cooked, of course)

Ahhhh...this forum saves my life again!! I just started mushies today, so I checked this thread. After weeks of liquids, I just had some shaved deli ham! It was amazing!!!! I think I wet myself, It was soooo good!!! :rolleyes2:(Yes, I chewed it about 15 times before it went down the hatch)

I'm having lap-band surgery on 5/29. My doctor suggested Amaze RX until then to reduce the size of my liver & to reduce the fat around the organs. Apparently doctors have to go around the liver to install the band. I've been using the Amaze RX since last Tuesday (5/6) & I've lost six pounds since. I'm not accusing it of being a laxative, but it does affect the digestive system, if you know I mean. All I'm saying is make sure all restrooms are mapped out just in case. (more important than fire exits unless that's your style?)
