Banded 6/29

I was banded on 6/29. Feeling pretty good today. Off pain meds since day 3, trying to stay hydrated. The liquids are getting to be a bit boring. Hopefully, next week with full liquids, things will be tastier. I have enjoyed the Special K protein strawberry and kiwi drink. The hot and sour soup recipe has been great and the basil broth also. I found some sf flavor ice sticks at the store and they are pretty tasty, espeially after the sore throat. sf popsicles have been a life saver too. Made it through Sunday school and lunc after with my protein drink. The achiness in the shoulders and the soreness is dimishing. I got on the scale today and have already lost weight. Need to domy measurements so I can keep track.

    Congrats on doing so good. I had mine on the 28th. So we are in the same boat. I have mainly drank protein shakes. Although today I had cream of chicken soup. Was really good. Much success to you. Keep your eyes on the prize.

    Glad you are doing so well - keep it up. I am on the pre-op diet now and am curious about the hot and sour soup and basil broth - do you have recipes you would be willing to share? Much appreciated!

    I found some recipes on my Lap Band site -

    basil broth - just put a few fresh leaves of basil or any other fresh spice you might like and add to can of beef or chicken broth - heat - strain the leaves and enjoy.

    hot and sour broth - 4 c chicken broth, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce or paste. combine all ingredients in saucepan on medium heat, bring to a boil, then turn to low and simmer for several minutes. I've been taking them to work for lunch this week.
