Was banded 9/20 so I haven't eaten solid food in 17 days

I'm so hungry

I can't wait to eat some scrambled eggs!

Hope this is considered mushy food !

Congrats! Don't forget oatmeal, cream of wheat, pudding, yogurt you have lots of options! Best wishes

I was banded on the 17th, and am looking forward to Wed.........pureed and blenderized...............no oatmeal, but cream of wheat, refried beans, potatoes, blenderized meats.............yummo. I am not starving but it will have been over a month on liquids by the time Wed hits.

Just be careful with scrambled eggs, some people have trouble with them. They are best slightly undercooked so that they are still really moist - whatever you do make sure you don't over cook them.

I'm not allowed cream of wheat or oatmeal yet

Only jello popsicles clear broth fat free plain yogurt and Protoss shakes

Can't wait to see Doc on Thurs for clearance on mushies

Oh, I remember that feeling so well!!!! I was DYING to chew something!!!! Not only because I just wanted to chew something, but because I was SO HUNGRY. It's been almost 3 yrs since I had my band placed, and I think I remember my first "real" food....some noodles with marinara? I think? God, it tasted so so good. (I had been cooking really hearty Soups during the liquid phase, but nothing beats chewing when you're just dying to chew!) Side note: The noodles were whole grain! (no shame here, please!)

I didn't have to do any special diet prior to getting banded, but I did have to do liquids for a whole month after. OMG....if I ever have to do that again for a prolonged period, I'm not sure what I'll do! I love food!

Good luck! I hope you get clearance to eat something substantial soon. And yes, I still have trouble with scrambled eggs. I love them, though. I'm looking forward to getting this band out in 8 days so I can eat them unhindered. Good luck!
