hey banders:

i just wanna know if it's ok to eat custard -as an alternative of budding-and consider it as a main meal in my meshed food stage -coz it contains a corn starch-and if it would ruin my diet (i banded 3 weeks earlier),thanx:cry

How about asking your physician? Looking at your previous posts you have already eaten cookies and marshmallows less than a week post-op. Talk to your physician and tell him/her what you are doing. They need to know.

whooooooooops there is some one stalking me :biggrin1: um i guess u r right but if u still following my posts u gonna know my situation here and the prob not all the recipes i read here cant be prepared due to the lack of Contents in my region it all by myself here -dont have a nutritionist-so im really lacking support

It helps to read people's previous posts to get some background and possibly be more of help.

Aren't there any local support groups in the area? Do any run out of the hospital? Have you tried asking your surgeon's office for more assistance? Just off of the top of my head. I realize this is a tremendously difficult adjustment period ( I should know, a little over a week post-op), but if you don't act as your own advocate and go and get the help you need, you're just going to fall back into the same old patterns. Again, I really understand how difficult this period is. We all don't get obese overnight, and having to change our eating patterns "overnight" is extremely difficult, but we, and you, can do it! :eek:

I'm not sure what custard is made from...if it is high in sugar, fat or simple carbs then it's probably not a good option, at least not on a regular basis. As far as texture, I'd think it's a great choice for the mushie stage if you can find a version that's a little healthier-like sugar free.
