Just Wondering.....

1.  Has anyone eaten Sushi (after banding) and how did it go?

2.  Have you ever ordered a "riceless roll" when out for Sushi? How was it?

3.  Can you eat fried food like french fries, fried shrimp, chicken parm with out getting stuck?

4.  What is your favorite high protein food(s)?

Who Knew?

As I wait around, counting the days until surgery, I have become a master researcher of blogs.  Blogs of those who had the Gastric Band, those who have the vertical sleeve, Gastric Bypass, waiting for approval, etc.  I have found out some interesting things.  I have been scouring the sites for recipes....stage 2, stage 3, etc.  (The liquid and pureed stages do not seem fun.)  I found out about the DaVinci and Torini Sugar Free syrups to perk up protein drinks and Greek yogurt.  And who knew there was "Peanut or Almond Flour or PB2? "  Apparently these are like nut dust that you can add to things for flavor and added protein.  Hmmmm.  A whole new world of things for me to explore. 

Do you have any favorite product to make "banded life" a little easier or more palatable?
