Thanks for the great advice and support from everyone....I have my protein shake in hand and starting back on thicker liquids tonight.....I will also get a good workout on my new X-Box Kinetic tonight!! Do you guys think its ok to have Gumbo without rice? My mom is from Louisiana and instead of soup she made a gumbo which is awesome!

I feel so bad...I am only 8 days post op, my family is in town for Christmas (not making excuses), and I got off of my thicker liquid diet....I was thinking that I would feel sick after doing it so, however I feel absolutely fine. This scares me.... I want this thing to work and I am really hoping that I did not mess anything up with my band like slippage or something. My family is leaving tomorrow so hopefully things will go back to normal. I am just feeling terrible right now....I mentally prepared myself for this weekend, but after being on liquids for a full week the smell of holiday food just totally overwhelmed me....Anyways, can anyone just give me advise?

OMG, went and got some sugar free Popsicles and they are awesome!! I am finally starting on week two and looking forward to it....any suggestions on the thicker liquids to try out besides soup?

How is everyone doing today?? I was banded on the 16th and finally decided to get out of the house and go to a couple of stores today. I felt pretty good. I just started feeling a little week since I hardly have anything in my system. I picked up a Smoothie King Gladiator Protein Smooth and I felt better. On my way home I started to get horrible gas pains. I took gas X and now I am feeling great....My incisions are starting to itch...anyone else having this problem? If so, is there anything that we can do about it? Let me know how you guys are doings since we were all banded around the same time, I'm sure we are all feeling similar issues:)

Thanks for that information. I will call my doctor's office on Monday to see if I can do the same. I was told only to drink clear liquids for now until next week. Hopefully they tell me that I can have puree veggie soup...that will help me out a lot!!

Hi There! I was banded on December 16th also! I am feeling ok. The gas pains are not that bad. However I am starting to get hungry already! I don't know how I am going to last the rest of the week on this liquid diet. I am already sick of the broths...What all are you guys including in your liquid diets this week?
