I read with interest all of the different foods that everyone is eating. Banded in December 2007 I am still unable to "eat" many foods. eggs, chicken, any beef, Pasta, veggies (even mashed) potatotes. Really hard time with any kind of fruit. Fish !!! If I get it down it doesn't stay down. Sometimes hard cheeses are okay provolone but not swiss. Chicken cutlets definitly not-pizza I wouldn't even try. So basically even though I am down 47 lbs. I would have to say that I am still in a mushie state of minds.

Any suggestions?

All indications sound as if your too tight - but hard to say if that's been your "norm" since the beginning. I was a tad too tight after the last fill for about 10 days, then things went back to normal where I can eat all the foods you describe as a problem. I would give your Dr a call and tell him your still stuck in Mushy Mode, from what I've read & my own Dr's advise - it's not best to eat that way. 3 solid high Protein meals - if your having a problem with that, then a slight unfill might be needed.

47lbs...Great loss!!

This sounds boring, but for some reason, yesterday I just thought it was the best thing ever.

For lunch I had tuna salad with avacado slices and a few cashews on top....it was so good.

And one night last week, I roasted a standing rib roast. :faint:

I see a lot of people eat tuna...I just hate tuna. :unsure: Maybe chicken in a can will be a good subsitute?

Yes, it works well as a substitute. I like both but I need a change once in a while and go with the chicken salad make from canned chicken. Just remember, that one can will make quite a bit! Try it and let me know how you like it!:lol:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
