Yesterday

B-1 oz. ground sausage, 1/4 cup of cheese grits

L- chips, skinny cow ice cream sandwich

D- drumstick, 1/2 breast, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes

S- low sodium V-8

Can you tell I didn't have much restriction?

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?

Today I had coffee with a drop of non fat milk

Tried a piece of hamburger (beef) but did not stay down. I do eat very slow and chew chew chew.

Breakfast- yogurt. Lunch- tuna steak and fresh salsa. Dinner probably salad with chicken. I am drinking water and 1 cup of coffee.

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.

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!
