I had an english muffin just this morning with some turkey bacon. Of course I toasted the heck out of the muffin and cooked the turkey bacon until crispy. I did have a little problem when I started trying to eat it too fast but for the most part I didn't have much of a problem. I did just realize that I cannot eat steak anymore and that sucks because I LOVE filet mignon :biggrin:... I had some rye bread on a ham sandwich once and it wasn't too bad but I couldn't eat the whole thing. Next time I'll just do half.

What does it feel like when your band has slipped? Can you feel it or do you just get sick? What might cause it to slip in the first place?

Hi All! I was banded on 12/18 and now I don't even feel as if I ever had surgery! I had my follow up appointment and they were amazed and how well and fast my surgery scars heeled. You almost can't tell there were even any cuts there. I'm doing much better on the hunger since starting the mushies. I don't get as much gas when I eat now either. I will say that if you happen to make a mistake and drink out of a straw BEWARE! I never noticed before how much drinking out of a straw can give you gas! My first fill is scheduled for 1/15. I can't wait because I find myself eating more and more and I haven't lost any weight since I started mushies. Hopefully the fill will make a difference and I will feel some restriction. I only feel it if I eat too fast. I am also going to see my nutritionist again because I need to know exactly what to eat that will help me lose weight otherwise I will fall off the wagon very quickly. I hope everyone is doing well and having a happy new year so far!

I bought some of the Isopure Grape Frost Liquid Protein drinks and YUCK!! There is a weird flavor in it that tastes awful! I did manage to make the Strawberries and Cream Isopure powder work by putting it in a strawberrie smoothie. Now I can't even taste it. I dont know how I am going to make it with these protein shakes because I really don't like them very much. I bought the True Results brand chocolate last week but have not tried it yet. Has anyone had the True Results brand of protein powder??? How is it? Right now about the only thing I can stomach with no problem are the Ensure High Protein drinks. They actually don't taste too bad. But I can't keep drinking those.

Hello fellow December Bandsters! I was just wondering what everyone is eating/drinking? I am trying to get some ideas because I am starving! I am sick of soup, broth, jello, pudding and yogurt. i need some ideas of how to mix it up. I start the mushies in a few days and if anyone had any ideas on that i'd greatly appreciate it. :frown: I hope everyone is doing well!

I agree! I feel like I am STARVING! I was banded on 12/18 so I am still on the liquid stage but even after drinking a protein shake an hour later I am hungry again. I've been trying to fill up on water and that seems to make it worse. I am sick of pudding, broth, yogurt and jello! I've even tried making smoothies with my protein powder and that STILL doesn't do it. I almost want to cry because I am soooo hungry! I tried some tomato soup last night and it seemed to give me gas after about a tablespoon of it but I was full. I just can't stand tomato soup! Someone tell me something please! :frown: :crying::crying::thumbup:

I just bought the Isopure Strawberries and Cream and I can't stand it! I want to puke everytime I put it up to my mouth. Luckily the guy at GNC told me I could bring it back if I didn't like it and I will be taking it back tomorrow! I'll try the Grape Frost since it sounds like its gotten good reviews....

Hi All! I am getting banded on 12/18. I am so excited I have given myself a headache. Any pre-op advice? :blushing: Thanks!
