I know they said no celery, but I love celery. It's clean and refreshing tasting and fills me up. SO . . . I cut it up into small pieces almost dice it, then I put it in snack bags and munch on them. So happy I found a way to eat it . I also like greek yogurt; it's thick so it sticks!
I had problems because I was allergic to Dermabond and got a nasty rash; however, the doc said ANY drainage to come right in because they were worried about infection of the skin. You may want to just check with your doc.
I was filled on Monday, 19th, felt fine until today. Now I think I hav eaten a bite of chicken and maybe 5 bites of homemade baked mac & cheese. I am struggling right now to get down a liter of Water. Yesterday I could still gulp water - very odd!
Your body sometimes knows what you need. It may be that you are craving a good protien. Are you getting enough protien and if so is it a high quality protien?
Have fun and enjoy yourself. If we can't do that then what is the point of living! Your band is a tool to be INCLUDED in your normal life (with less food :thumbup:).
