I'm sure I'm the zillionth person who's mentioned this but I'm 5 days post op and I'm SOOOO sick of Soup. I made a scrambled egg white and really made it into tiny pieces then put ketchup on it to help it digest. It worked perfectly and it was pure Protein. Feeling something with texture in my mouth was very nice:tt1:.

If anyone has any other "fun" meal idea's please share....I need all the help I can get!!

Congratulations on your surgery! I will have mine within the next month, but do not yet know if I will be a May 09 or a June 09. We were just talking about your question topic last night at my Lap Band support group. If you should still be on liquids, then stay on liquids. Even for small pieces, your stomach has to "churn" to digest and could hinder your healing process. We were told that cheating on the post op liquids phase will prolong and worsen our recovery. If you are hungry, you're not drinking enough. Be creative with juices, broths, SF popsicles and of course those Protein shakes and lots of Water. Add Protein powder to your broth, or mix your Protein shake mix with skim milk in the blender with a few ice cubes to make more of a "milk shake" consistency. But, stay on liquids until your mushy stage, then stick to mushies. It might seem hard, but you will heal better and faster if you don't cheat. Best wishes for good results from your band! I hope to join you soon!

cottage cheese, sugar free orange jello and mandarin oranges yum!

I can tell you that day 2 -14 I was on full liquids and it included scrambled eggs, re fried Beans which are yummy with salsa and sour cream, cream of wheat and oatmeal, now with that said before you take my or any others ideas please call your surgeon and get it approved because all docs are different and it only matters what yours want's you to do.

Also you can add Protein powder to oatmeal,cream of wheat or pudding if you get tired of Protein drinks.

Good luck.
