Hi hun, I can empathise with this, I find it so variable - on some days meat kills me and it hurts and I can feel it going up and down trying to settle, on other days it seems to go down fine. I have a lot of casseroles, cos the meat is slow cooked to death and tender and that is easier to manage. Fish has become my friend too as that is easy to eat. I also have yogurts for calcium and generally in the mornings all I can face is a yoghurt, but later in the day I can eat more.....
Its all in the food choices - if you are sensible it can be done. I have found since my second fill bread is a problem unless it is toasted - had a very tricky time with a half hot cross bun the other week and won't be trying that again in a hurry!!
I have 7.5 in a 10ml band now and by making good choices I managed (very slowly over almost 3 hours) the best part of a three course meal the other night - chicken liver pate to start, baked salmon in a chowder sauce for main and a runny trifle type thing for pud.
Just take it one day at a time - yesterday my dietary intake consisted of chocolate nearly all day and not much else but if people will give you chocolate for your birthday when they know you have a band, what are you to do?? Must do better today xx
