another good one involves tofu. .. tofu is great for protien and it's very

healthy for your body. try half a cup of silken tofu, a cup of milk, a

tablespoon of peanut butter, 2 bananas, and a tablespoon of honey. it's a

sweet meal, but it's a change and the peanut butter is actually a very

subtle flavour in the shake. i'll keep them coming as i think about more..

.. see ya

-0000 & gt; & gt;Derrick, & gt;Thanks ... I think I might try that.

I'm going a little stir crazy & gt;with the same stuff day after day. I

need to get a bit braver and & gt;start expanding my menu. I'm going

shopping today. I'll put instant & gt;mashed potatoes on my list ... and

let you know how it goes! & gt;Thanks

& amp;gt; & gt; & gt; & amp;gt; Hi - I am about 1 1/2 weeks post op and I

have strictly been & gt; & gt; on & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;an & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;

& amp;gt; all liquid diet. My big bands are cut & gt;now and I & gt;

& gt; use bands on my & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;own & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt; & amp;gt; to do

my jaw workout. I & gt;can't even & gt; & gt; open my mouth wide enough

to & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;get & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt; & amp;gt; real food in & gt;yet.

I & gt; & gt; would plan on all liquid for at least

the & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;first & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt; & amp;gt; & gt;full & gt;

& gt; week and possibly longer. You will for sure loose & gt; & gt;

weight! & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt;I've & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt; & amp;gt; lost 15 pounds

(which I realize & gt;isn't & gt; & gt; healthy). Good luck,

good & lt;br & gt; & amp;gt; & amp;gt; luck, good luck!

Sounds yummy! L

Derrick,

I'm not sure about the tofu but I have done the peanut butter

thing before. It's a yummy addition to lots of mixtures and a great

way to get protein.

Thanks!

Sara,

I'm craving banana. I tried it and couldn't get it smooth enough to

get it past my teeth with all the wires and the splint. Any

suggestions?

Thanks,

try adding ice to water it down. that might make it easier to get

throught the wiring. i was thinking tonight that one of my favorite

things is a coffee frappucino from starbucks. i'm hoping that i'll be

able to scoop that down without too much trouble post-surgery...but

maybe not given the trouble everyone seems to be having. so much

better for my weight-loss:-)

Sara,

Thanks, I'll try that. Carnation Instant Breakfast comes in flavors

like cappucino (don't know if i'm spelling that correctly) so you can

always try that. I had one yesterday - not bad. It tasted like

coffee ice cream.

At this point, I've lost 11 pounds. I crave food to the point where

I'd almost rather have put on 11 pounds - if only I could eat.

But, I've just been having a couple of rough days. I know I don't

really mean that.

Trying to keep my chin up,

Carol
