Hi Pam,

I was also banded on June 27! How are you doing? I am on my last day of mushies and I am soo very nervous about eating real food and something getting stuck! So far I have folllowed the diet to a tee and have not had any discomfort, throwing up or sliming. I think I will start solids with canned chicken and tuna and well cooked soft veggies. Are you already on solids?

Within an hour of waking @ 4:00 AM: protein shake, half a banana

Breakfast @ 7:30 AM: coffee, other half of banana

Mid-Morning @ 10:30 AM: 1 squeezable packet of peanut butter

Lunch @ 12:30: mini-can of chunk light tuna fish, 4 whole wheat crackers

Afternoon snack @ 3:00: apple slices

Then I'll have dinner out with friends tonight, and another protein shake a couple hours later.

My dietician says to keep your metabolism going with small, healthy portions every 3-4 hours. I've never been one to eat like that - and I used to only eat maybe once or twice a day - so it's been an adjustment, but it really does help me with shedding the pounds. :thumbdown:

lunch: very small piece of cod and some broccoli

dinner: a handful of steamers
