Alright people...I am slowly approaching WEEK 3 post op!! Come Saturday, I get to be on mushies.

Anyone have any good suggestions on what they have eaten during this time!?!

Thank you all in advance!

I was banded jst August 1.

I think i did liquids the first 5 days or so only bcuz i was recovering and my stomach felt really sick.

Yday i got down a half cup of campbells vegetable Soup. It was mostly broth & the veggies were quite mushy.

3 spoonfulls and i was stuffed. The 4th spoonfull i got a sharp pain and i just quit altogether!

This is off topic but do u still get the burping at week 3? As it was in weeks 1&2?

This recipe (posted on LBT) was a life savor. Mix 1/4 c cottage cheese (nonfat or low fat) and 1/4 c spaghetti sauce in a bowl and microwave for about 45 sec or until slightly hot. Top with 1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan (if desired) and microwave for another 30-45 sec or until cheese is melted. It tastes like lasagna without the noodles and has a good amount of protein. There is also a facebook page that has really good recipes for all stages. It is a private group so you have to request to join. Just search lb recipes (https://www.facebook.com/groups/493070414070718/). Good luck on your journey!
