Help Me Im STARVING:hungry:

I was also banded July 9th and I am able to eat mushies/soft foods/and soft meats! What are you allowed to eat?

My usual day is:

Breakfast Protein Drink, made with Carnation Instant Breakfast Sugar Free, a banana, tbs. of peanut butter, scoop of protein powder, and milk. Put it in my Magic Bullet and it's great!

Lunch - chicken salad, made with ff cream cheese and ff mayo, onions, garlic powder, tsp. worchestire sauce, salt and pepper. With a couple of FF Wheat thins

Supper - cup of chili

Snacks - low sodium V8 juice, sugar free popsicles, fudgesicles, jello, puddings, slice of lowfat cheese:)

im not supposed to eat any solids. just strained soups and sherbert, protein shakes, cottage cheese........boring, but i have been able to tolerate eggs and mushed stuff

Isn't it funny how we were all banded the same day, and our diets all differ. I am on stage 3, so I can eat just about anything with the exception of
" Whole" meats, so it has to be ground or else I don't eat it. I have not had the carnation instant drinks,( are the powder or liquid?) are they pretty good? I am finding in the morning I just am not hungry, but feel that I should get some protein in some how. I am down about 20 pounds, but a lot came off during my pre op diet.

As of yesterday's doctor appointment, I am able to eat anything I want!!!! Just told to take it slow! Would be nice to follow the progress of those of us banded on the same day!:)

Congratulations on the weight loss Jeanie! I go for my first fill on Tuesday and can't wait to see how this all starts works together.

I'm new to this site. Just found it today. Wish I had found it sooner. I was also banded July 9. I'm finding out there are lots of things I don't know about my own band that I really do need to know. I've already had 5 adjustments. They say everyone is different. I have only lost 12 pounds. I can eat solid food. The biggest problem I have is chicken. I have to chew really, really good or it will not go down. I have had some throwing up because of it. I've got to slow down and chew better.

Good luck to you.

I was banded the 23 and there is nothing I can't eat :( wish there was - If I had to choose something I CAN have a problem with it would be baked potatoes - suppose I just forget and don't chew - but don't have a problem with anything else.

I WAS BANDED IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA. ON JULY 11,2007. I HAVE LOST 56 LBS. I CAN NOT EAT CHICKEN, AND I LOVE CHICKEN. I CAN EAT GROUND BEEF REAL WELL. I WATCH MY CALORIE INTAKE, I JUST MOVED TO TORONTO OHIO I AM NOW LAID OFF SO ITS SLOWING MY PROGRESS DOWN A LITTLE. BUT BY SUMMER LOOK OUT !!!!!!!!!!:whoo::clap2:

I was banded July 9th. I have lost about 15 pounds. I can tell I am loosing inches, but it's pretty depressing when the scales want move. I can eat pretty much anything also. I just have to remember to eat slowly and in small portions. I really don't get enough protein though, it takes so long to chew it up good and then I get full really fast on meat. I try to eat eggs often. and also cheese. I have not been exercising. I have really bad joints but that's no excuse, I need some motivation. But I don't think they sell that in a bottle. Keep me posted. We were on vacation for several weeks and I had so much catching up to do at work I haven't been visiting the forum.
