Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi – I am just a few days ahead of you – my DOB is 9/22/06. I started this week with deviled eggs – I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I made several for a meal. I just had to chew very well, as several members stated they have trouble with eggs. I did not seem to have any problems. I am also going to eat tuna – tuna and egg salad (no lettuce), and maybe tuna with pasta, such as Tuna Helper. I also got some of the pre-made mashed potatoes – Crocker Barrel – that is soooooo good. I am not much at making mashed potatoes – always too lumpy. I may also try the canned salmon. I’m still drinking protein drinks in the am, and the liquid whey protein between meals, to make sure I get enough protein. I tried fresh peaches the other day, and almost had a PB experience. I must have taken too big of a bite or didn’t chew it enough.

I'm getting ready to introduce solid food back into my diet. I wanted to ask everybody what they recommend for an easy transistion. I always get nervous the first day of a new phase. I haven't had any challenges yet and want to move into the final phase smoothly. This week I'm enjoying scrambled eggs with cheese, tuna with pasta and egg salad. I've never been so happy in my entire life. Who woulda thought! Please let me know your food choices and ideas for a smooth transition. DOB 9/25/06 241/226.5/Hot Mama!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi Ronda. Ernesto was probably droppin you off while picking me up! We are on the same track. I also bought the Crocker Barrel potatoes. Pretty good. I was thinking more like next week. You know, adding solid non mushy food. What do you have planned for the next phase? I went on 's web and she recommends chicken, pork and vegies. Some people have trouble with beef, so I'm gonna wait on that for a few days.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi , for me I also ate besides the choices you have written was shrimp, refried beans (without fat), lots of hummus (I love that stuff), salmon (which I haven't had in awhile and need to implement to get more protein), sliced ham, chicken nuggets w/o breading, chicken strips, some steak (though at times it can be really hard to digest: I suggest getting Papaya pills to help with digestion). Just take it slow and easy, I have had my second fill and I am finding myself readjusting once again...so slow is the process to go. One day you'll find you can have chicken or tuna and then the next day it's a no go, so just go with what your body tells you. Drink lots of H2o.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 – I haven’t even thought about next week, when the “real” food is available. I like chicken, pork and beef, so I would like to eat all of it, but I heard someone has trouble with each item, so I don’t know which food I will have trouble with (if any). I’m planning to take it easy and not rush into anything. I haven’t had much problem so far, and I don’t want to start now. I will probably start with a chicken, as that is easy to fix.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hey Rhonda, I found with any of the meats is to make it tender. If ever I eat chicken, pork or beef and it doesn't chew down to a nice watery paste I don't risk swallowing it. A tender piece of meat or chicken goes down fine. Every once in a while I eat some meat that is real stringy and tough and I chew it up and discreetly put what doesn't break down into my napkin. Good luck on "real food" . Protein is your friend.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I moved into this phase a few days early, because I was on a camping trip and couldn't explain my weird eating habits! Everything worked out fine except eggs! No eggs for me in any form. > > Hi everybody. I'm getting ready to introduce solid food back into my > diet.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi, I never had a sore throat but have seen posts from others that have.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Most people aren't intubated in Mexicali, it is a special mask they use to keep you breathing during surgery. Larger BMI people or people with a specific anatomy are intubated. Since surgery was 8/8 my guess is that she either has a throat infection of some sort or a secondary infection (such as thrush) from the antibiotics. Either way it should be checked out. 252/159/150 Banded 12/06 On 9/5/07, Jane Moss <joy4jane66@...> wrote: Hi, I never had a sore throat but have seen posts from others that have.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 So I broke down and went to the doctor and I have an infection in my throat. I know we are not supposed to drink with meals but with a sip a water is the only way I can get something other than broth down. Is it ok to sip until my infection goes away? > > hey bandsters > > I am concerned because I started by solid food and my throat is > soooo sore that I can barely swallow my saliva.
