Thanks for sharing, I think it would be fun to hear what others are having at different stages to give us ideas.

Kim:)

I buy the Cafe Mocha at my local grocery store and the Caramel Latte at a local vitamin/health food store called Clark's.

I know these flavors are available online at amazon.com and drugstore.com, problem is the cost of shipping :biggrin:

Thanks Bloo, I'll see if I can't find them somewhere other than Walmart (which is the only place I've checked so far). Appreciate the response. be well.

I'm worried about chewing enough. I am in the process of getting dental implants for my back teeth. Anyone else with this problem???

Did you grind your flaxseed or did you buy it? I want to eat more raw fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds after my band and am worried about the nuts and seeds going down.

Jess - My understanding is that you don't get the good stuff out of the flaxseed unless you grind it, so I grind it.

I've had larger nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans) several times since being banded, and I eat sesame seeds without a problem as well.

I have started sliming again, all the time no matter what I eat, and yes I chew. I know I am not able to eat rice, hard boiled eggs, pasta, bread etc, but the last few days, no matter what I eat doesn't stay down. Liquids are no problem, but I feel a head cold coming on. Does anyone else have this problem when they are getting sick?
