So Rick are u drinking the fluid right before u eat or do u weight 30 min before eating? I find the no drinking is a real challenge for me. I'm texan and I LOVE my tea w meals!!! I'm very interested in your Rule of 4s. I'm still on wk 3 of being banded... I have another week of mooshie stuff. No meat, no salad... I miss chewing.

I am at end of week 3 postoperative and I love love love the v8 soups! They were my saving grace. I am doing mushy now but I have to say I am having a hard time mourning crunches of any kind. Also bread... But hey - ina year we will all be looking and feeling fantastic, right?

Good luck!!

What a great success story! Congrats!

Oh yeah and I can be a buddy with you if you want.

I hear u manic cookie! I'm one week out and I think I just messed myself up. I ate a bowl of soup for dinner and I'm worried it was too much! I was simply starving - I had worked all day and had two protein shakes all day long and was out of my mind! Today was my first full day back to work! I'm so upset that I a. Hurt myself (don't wanna puke) b. Sabotaged myself ( I'm counting calories but it was broccoli cheddar mushy soup) ! Augh
