Well I gotta say, this 4th of July was the best! I had my band June 16th & had been miserable everyday. I wasn't eating or drinking bc I felt so restricted, I was tired & moody. It was awful! But Friday my mom brought me a butter & sour cream baked potato & I thought to myself I'm eating this! Well it took me 2 days to finish it & it was amazing! Amazing to finally chew, to have actual FOOD in my mouth, just pure bliss! Since Friday I've ventured out & had some scrambled eggs, refried beans with sour cream & fish. I'm doing great but still trying to take it easy for fear of that "stuck feeling". So for anyone that's still having a rough time, I promise it'll get better. I know all you "veteran banders" told me it would. It sucked having to wait that long but worth it bc I know I'm on my way to a healthier me!!

For that stuck feeling, get some chewable papaya!! I got some at the drug store in the vitamin section. My surgeon's Physician's Assistant told me that trick. Try it!!

That spud(I'm from Idaho) you ate sounds delicious? I do miss a good baked potato now and then but once you get to the green zone they're kindof off limits. But, I give myself a cheat day every 2-3 months so I think I'll add a baked spud to my list of wanna-eats

Lol. It was good after not being able to eat for so long. Thanks, I'll love for those at my local drugstore.
