| i have eaten rice pudding since 2 weeks post op no problems marg |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Slippery, probably around the latter part of mushies, say after at least a week on the more blended stuff | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does anyone know if rice pudding is suitable for the mushie stage? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gripe away, But also realize you can increase your protien which should help you feel fuller longer. For a mushie protien meal, get a tin of baked beans and a tin of braised steak and vegies and wizz them together with a hand blender. Put 1/2 cup in a microwave proof bowl and zap for 30 sec. stir and zap again. full of protien and fibre. Pyretta |

| I am so hungry!!! I eat my 1/2 cup worth and its not really enough. I basically stay hungry until I can have a drink and then fill up as much as I can on fluids, but there have been a few times where I've eaten more cause I'm just so really hungry now. I think my tummy has settled down and any swelling is gone. Also, any wind still in my gut is just about all gone now. No replies needed, I just wanted to gripe. |

| Hi Kara, well, I haven't been following anything in particular, but I do have oatmeal every morning for breakfast. We have a box of assorted flavours, so each sachet is a perfect breakfast portion size. Otherwise, to keep it simple, I've just bought baby food and added cooked chicken or ham, salt and a few spices to it. I've also found adding something like coconut milk gives a wonderful flavour. For snacks I have either yoghurt, custard or stewed apples with custard. |

| Hi everyone, I'm 9 days banded and will be moving into mushies next week (thank goodness), but just wondered from those who are already in mushies, if you could please give me a sample menu of what you are eating on a daily basis, ie, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner etc. With thanks, Kara | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If anyone's interested, I went shopping on the weekend at Woolworths/Safeway and picked up 3 containers that hold a 1/2 cup each. I figure they'll be perfect for when I go back to work this week. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey emms I am going through the mushies stage again but one thing I found that is good. Mash potatos and then add some cambells tom soup with cream even better if your family makes meat balls (I recommend turkey) then you can use the sause over the potatos and that way you get the flavour from the meat balls in the soup and cream mix! |

| Hi everyone, Not quite 2 weeks out, but was given the OK to move onto mushy stage by dietitian. Seems the surgeon primed my band during surgery, which can happen sometimes, so I have to be careful of how much I eat. I'm supposed to have 1/3 cup 6 times a day because of the early restriction. Have to say, with thinner stuff (like custard), I do tend to do the full 1/2 cup. lol Basically, I'm getting baby food and adding protein, salt and some spice to it. I got a veggie lasagne one yesterday and added chicken. OMG! To have 'real' tasting food again. Just fantastic! Michelle |

| Salina, what you are describing is very common and it can sometimes take numerous fills to feel any restriction at all. Check out the fills thread: http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lap-band/29 852/ it might help. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi it has been 5 weeks since my banding and i had my first fill on tuesday but it doesnt seem t have made a difference at all, im still hungry and can eat way more than half a cup lol. I rang doctors rooms ad she said this is normal for 1st fill and just to be patient as he builds up the liquid gradually. Has anyone else had this poblem? Salina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How long after the surgery did you have the omlett? Were there any ill side effects? Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi my names emma i new to this so hope this is the right way to chat but ill try im 23 just had my band 5 days ago on liquids just adjusting to everything cant wait to start mushies can any one give me some good luch recipes to take to work or have at work ?? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The bacon and eggs comment comes from the fact that I've been on Atkins for the past 8 days..lol And yes..I haven't blended anything before so I really have no idea about texture changing the taste of food. I do know that I love smoked salmon but hate the chewy bits that you sometimes get. Does that count?? :) When I have a low fat, carb diet my blood sugar drops and drops. I feel much better on a ketosis diet. Cat |

| giggling here at the blended eggs n bacon maybe it depends how long you have to stay on mushies....for me soups were 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks of mushies so i ended up blending many things....rofl Leeanne |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I can't imagine some foods blended!I think since being banded (a whole two weeks LOL) that i realise with some foods it is the texture that matters..I can't imagine eating pureed bacon Eerrgghh LOL but I guess you might like it! Tomight I am planning on a slow cooker curry, yum, can't wait...so glad to be off liquids finally! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So is the consesus that you can eat anything that can be blended to a runny pulp? Because I have visions of me blending bacon to put with my eggs, and chicken and veg. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Narelle I think he meant fibrous food, eg. dry chicken, beef, celery, lettuce. The stomach seems to have trouble breaking down the fibres. Hope this helps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi All Went to see the surgeon had a lot of pain yesterday after my home made soup for lunch. Everything seems tobe ok he said the problem was the soup I used chicken breast fillets he said you cant have any fibosis food. My Question is can any please tell me what is fibosis food. I don't want to go through that pain again. Im on my 8th day with the lab band. Thanks Narelle |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pyretta phew yes that was my sigh of relief. I have defiantly been a little panicky reading this forums and now actually have made myself have a sore stomach. Ahh but i am relieved its good to have people to ask questions about the band. I feel much better. jb |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jb, You sound like you are healing fine and don't get too hung up on the amounts. i wasn't actually given amounts to follow in the early stages. My dietitian told me to just have small amounts until i was comfortable. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi all am loving this section! Have had my band for just on two weeks and on mushies. Am a lil frightened that I have damaged my band as I haven't followed the correct serving amount to a T. I have seen one of my friends go through a slipped band and am positively frightened of this happening to me. Is there anyway you know if the band has slipped? I haven't vomited or anything like that.. fingers crossed I haven't done any damage..and will start to accurately measure my food. oh and question, if you arent in any pain (except near the port) and not vomiting does that mean you are healing well? cheers jb |

| Hi I have just read this and I am feeling better. (banded not filled yet) I am also chewing until its mush but have included chicken and meat but I dont know whetehr im hungry or just still love that food. Unfortunately I ate very quickly last night again and ended up vomiting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You wont have damaged your band but its just best not to tempt fate is all. We have all done the chew to mush thing on occasion at this stage but its best to try do each stage straight as its meant to. Dont stress you will be fine |
