Thread Starter  

Hello bendsters,

I am going shopping for the first time (banded 5 weeks ago, first fill 1 week ago) and I am slowly going off the liquid/mushy into "regular" foods. Please help me find some high protein foods that will fill me up. Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

fourth fill of .2 c.c. on 5/31/05
fifth fill of .5 c.c. on 7/5/05
unfill of .2 c.c. on 7/12/05
sixth fill of .4 c.c on 9?13/05
Total 3.1 c.c.

I am on solids and here is what I eat: lots of eggs, potatoes, the delight pizza's(craker thin crust), hard shell tacos, chili, soft fruits like bannana, cottage cheese, salsa, saltines crakers with tuna and mayo, pork chops(make sure you marinate them so their really tender), beans, vegetables(steamed or cooked), and I have tried toast but since my first fill on monday, I haven't been able to eat toast as well. I get full immediately after bread. hope that helps.

Thanks for the chili and taco suggestions. I picked some up at the supermarket. Hadn't thought of them.
