BeneProtein is awesome!

Thank you so much. I'm just now moving onto pureed and that sounds yummy.

Congrats on the soft foods! Just curious how long you were on clear/liquid/pureed? I'm itching at more than room temp soups!!

My gas pain entirely went away yesterday...I was soooo happy. Only to wake up today (day 5) to the worst shoulder pain ever! It is relentless....nothing will rid it. I've tried everything! I'm just hoping I will wake up tomorrow and miraculously it'll be gone again! My hunger is back with a vengence....ugh! :cursing:

I am not as far out as you are, (4 days) but I can definitely see myself in your shoes. Food has been my BEST friend for sooooo long. Its like grieving for something we lost as it used to be my "go to" for feeling better. I have also lost large amounts of weight in the past and I do have to say that nothing feels better than losing that weight. Also, being in control of what you eat is an amazing feeling. So, give yourself time and I do think that onc e you start seeing big changes in your body and health all that "bad" food won't seem so forbidden. Let yourself have a treat once a week...per my dr. or you will fail.

I seem to be particularly sensitive to food commercials today! Every time a good one comes on it seriously goes through my mind..."Could I put that KFC bucket of chicken in the blender, how bout that shrimp scampi from Red Lobster?" I've seriously thought of putting anything and everything in the BLENDER! Ugh! Still much pain and pressure 3rd day out....so I know it just mind games but still....

Hi everyone! I got banded on Friday the 23rd. I feel like an elephant landed on my chest. Ugh. Evidently I had to have a hiatal hernia fixed while the doc was in there and my liver "cracked" and I lost a little blood but everything else was good. The bleeding stopped on its own. Maybe that's why I feel so crummy...and oh ya it's only been 48 hours. Good luck to everyone!
