Rubie: Hope you feel better soon! And congrats to all the newly Banded Bunnies! Started my first day of mushies with a mushed banana for Breakfast and a scrambled egg for lunch. I feel full have a little bit of heartburn as my stomach gets used to this new feeling after 24 days of liquids!

I don't know if its a coincidence or not but i looked up alternative therapies for gas after STILL having crippling gas/shoulder pain and tried out the acupressure points they suggested and now the gas I'm getting is going out through the proper channels instead of migrating to my shoulder. Woot! Of course i've also been doing chamomile and peppermint teas and gas-x but for some reason after doing acupressure i haven't had shoulder pain so far! Put this in the "wont hurt might help" file: lay down measure three finger lengths down from navel. Press down on spot with index finger release while exhaling find spot four fingers up from your inside ankle bone. press down find spot four fingers down from your knee on the outside edge of your shin. flex your foot. the muscle that bulges is where you press down

Any restaurant that serves: guacamole hummus, babaganoush egg salad refried Beans creamy Soups chili miso soup soft scrambled eggs

i had the all liquid version as long as i didn't go above 1000 calories and 35 grams of fat i was allowed veggies with fat free dressing

still having a hard time drinking protein drinks and the left shoulder pain is crippling today. i ve walked like hell and im tired pity party of one your table is ready

I'm not up to food yet but i would scour menu pages dot com to look at menus but i figure middle eastern, South American, South Asian has a lot of dips and stews. the sashimi idea is excellent there is also naruto, sushi rolled with sliced cucumber and naki tori (sp?) beef wrapped around scallions. asian cuisines also have beancurd and tofu a lot of the classic steak houses are putting together fancy burgers and so many people are carb phobic now it would be easy to say skip the bun without raising an eyebrow

the cumulative total of my cheating during my two week liquid diet: 3 multi grain tortilla chips 1 bowl of cream of turkey soup two nibbles of communion bread dipped in grape juice 1 cup of mashed potatoes 1/2 cup of mac and cheese and i was banded april 6th

yeah ive been off the pain meds now this gas! :biggrin:
