April Bandits Food Thread!!!!!

[amourette 5]

So well here goes the first thread for us all. Three questions

1- What stage of eating are you at now? :biggrin1:

Me I am at liquids but more mushier, fuller liquids, been trying a few things like avocado and blended black Beans, go to mushies on Wednesday:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?:biggrin1:

Mine is blended black Beans and a dash of blended avocado, also pumpkin Soup, yummy, I am getting good at making my own...........even my friends children liked it, I think the secret is to add a rasher of bacon.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?:biggrin1:

It would have to be curries with chicken and fish and sushi for me..........hope they will agree with me later.........

Ok lets see how this practice thread goes for us

:eek: Love from Amourette:hungry: :hungry: :hungry:

1. I am at regular foods stage right now.

2. I don't have a favorite food, just trying to eat healthfully until I get my first fill on June 6th.

3. I miss pizza and Pasta. Haven't had any since surgery. Since I have no restriction until the fill, I plan on having some before then.

1. Liquids to Mushies--almost three weeks out. I make a really good Protein Drink (Vanilla whey Protein Powder from GNC; 1 banana; skim milk; ice; sometimes I add a sugar-free hot choc. packet to give it some choc. flavor)

2. Found some really good Soups at Kroger's: organic sweet potato, cream of broc., potato leak, and butter-nut squash. They come in cartons--you just pour into pan and heat--no adding Water or milk. I usually put a little bit of sour cream in with some tasteless Protein powder---mmmmm-delicious! Oh, and I be lovin' my sugar-free choc. pudding AND sugar-free tropical flavor popsicles.

3. I really am missing Papa John's pizza! Ironically enough, I'm not missing sweets, which used to be my biggest problem!

Love and peace to all,

Dana

1. I'm still on "full liquids" (ie. thicker than just "clear" liquids)...I start mushies on 13 May and solids on 27 May. My first fill is 2 Jun.

2. Fave food right now...ummmm...can't say I really have one....maybe the butterscotch pudding (yeah, they count that as a full liquid...go figure!).

3. What do I miss the most: ummm....oh were to start!!! chips of course (my downfall) and the "Perogie Pizza" at Boston pizza (the absolute BEST)...and FRENCHFRIES!!!!

Good luck to all!!! AND...keep up the great work all you April Bandits!!!

1- What stage of eating are you at now?

Still on full liquids...unfortunitly. I am meeting with my doc on Thursday and will be going to mushies at that point. Believe me, Thursday cannot come quick enough, I never thought I would be so excited to eat mushie foods.

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?

I think my favorite food is the protien drink I make in the mornings which has around 36g of protien. It consists of whole foods brand vanilla protien powder, fat free chocolate stonyfield yogurt, and skim milk. Very good actually.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?

Honestly, I had no cravings at all until the last couple of days, and what I keep craving is a juicy cheeseburger and spicey fries...however, my desire to be healthy and thin is much stronger than my food cravings...at least today.

Good luck to you all, I feel lucky to have found this group of people all baded the same month! I know we will continue to support and be supported by one another for lots of time to come.

What stage are you in now-

Mushies - started a few days ago - going slow because I am a nervous nelly about putting food down there

Favorite food at this stage:

I like Peanut Butter mixed with banana and oatmeal for Breakfast - tastes pretty yummy

Missing what food-

Nothing yet - but I am sure it's coming once I get through the cautious stage I am in now. It's funny my family eats right in front of me but I don't feel a need to have some.

1- What stage of eating are you at now? :biggrin1:

I am technically still on liquids. However, my doctor said I could have scrambled eggs this weekend, and I did tonight and was in absolute heaven. I see him Monday and should be on full mushies then.

2- What's your fave food at this stage of your diet?:biggrin1:

:biggrin1: Definitely those scrambled eggs, yum.

3- What food are you missing the most since you got banded?:biggrin1:

How much space am I allowed to take up? Actually, the thing I am really craving is a big ol' chef salad with ranch dressing.
