How are the December bandsters doing? What food phase are you on? Which was the hardest so far?

Banded 12/19. I was allowed solids after day 10. Been eating Protein, veggies, then maybe a lil bit of a starch. Staying under calorie goal and really not hungry. No fill until 2/21.

How are you?

I was eating mushies/semi solid 10 days after. Regular food and really watching it through my first fill which was just Wednesday of this week. I only had 1.8cc in my band from surgery, so now I am at 3.8cc. I can tell a difference, but i still think I will need more.

Let me just tell you gals - I had a serious "stuck" food episode today. My work provides lunch two times a week and today was sandwiches with lots of lettuce. We were in a group meeting and I just wasn't thinking and took 2 fairly small bites, but did NOT chew well enough. OMG. I hope I never do that again. I had to get up and leave via the back and go to the restroom. I now know what they mean about the sliming!!!! AND it wouldn't stop. PAINFUL.

SO - Dec Bandsters - always eat small bites!

Learn and don't repeat the same mistake twice. Welcome to Banded life!
