I heard mentioned eating egg drop soup early in the post band stage does anyone know how to make it. and also i read alot about pbs how often do all of you have these say on a weekly basis please let me know answers thanks all.

I only got this soup at the chinese places.. Never made it my-self!! I have had my band 5 weeks and have not had the PB as of yet, If you listen to your body it (so the Dr.'s who don't live with a band say) can be avoided??? Only having mine 5 weeks I guess I'm not a good one to speak of it.. Do you have a band???

I get the egg Drop soup from the Chinese Places too. I did not have my first PB untill I was able to eat solid food and it was a Crossant that caused it. You might have heard that bread to some is a no no. Well it balled up and then alot of slime followed and up it came. But everyone is different

Some never PB I do not do it often but like Tarafeena says listen to your body..

Hi there, actually making it is pretty easy, and has less sodium than the Chinese restaurants. Take a can of low sodium chicken broth. You can season it to your taste, onions, garlice, etc. Then beat a couple eggs in a bowl and when the soup is boiling, slowly pour the egg into the soup while you stir the soup. The egg will cook immediately and as you stir break up into pieces. And it's done and ready to enjoy. Make sure you stir the egg in slowly or else you will have a big omelete in the middle of the soup.

Thanks Jasper that sounds very easy to do,.

Who new, I'm going to try that.. Thanks a bunch!!

Anytime..Hope you enjoy it!!

Hello, I think I pb more than every one else I do about everyday. I may eat to fast but I cant even attempt to eat before like 3:00 in the afternoon. Is it just me?

I avoided this post all day since I love egg drop. I usually buy the dry mix in the soup isle, but now I gotta try this homemade version. Thanks!

I just wanted to post that in the chinese resturants they get the eggs to suspend in the broth by mixing a little cornstarch in some cool water and adding it to the boiling broth. At least this is the recipe I follow and it turns out exactly like my neighborhood chinese resturant makes it.

mmmmmmmm, ever since this thread I have been cravingggggg egg drop soup!! Finally, last Friday I had some. YUMMY! But I couldn't use that HUGE spoon they gave me so I whipped out my handy dandy baby soft-tip spoon I keep in my purse! (I also keep a tiny lobster fork in there in case your wondering hee hee hee).

Love the Egg Drop Soup...

A few days after I was home from surgery I was able to have Egg Drop Soup, my husband would go down the street and get it from a Chinese Resturant. It was such a treat for me. As far as PB's well I have been a naughty girl, I am almost 3 week's post off and am in the mushy stage. I have pb 3 times and threw up twice and I know exactly what I did. I was rushing eating and another time I didn't chew, old stinky thinking. The pb's are not bad BUT the throwing up is not fun. I really have to pay attention and change my old ways, the band does slow you down...I LOVE MY BAND

Flower, pbs are just about always caused from eating too quickly and not paying attention or eating too big a bite and swallowing it. Your bites should be no bigger than the size of an eraser on the end of a pencil. Then chew, chew, chew before swallowing. It's probably going to happen at one time or another. It's not the end of the world, but it reminds you to slow down and pay attention. But it shouldn't be happening regularly. Too much pbing can lead to band slippage.

Another reason can be if you have too tight a fill. This is not good for you or your band. A very slight unfill will usually fix that particular problem immediately.
